JEFA WP200 CABLE STEERING PEDESTALS

• The robust powder coated aluminium base has no mounting holes for pedestal bolts as these are integrated in the pedestal deck flange. This avoids multiple weak points for damage with the accompanying corrosion and possible leaking.
• The input socket has a large water draining groove behind the cover plate to prevent any water entering the pedestal.
• The pedestal head largely overhangs the aluminium base to prevent any splash water entering the pedestal from underneath the head.
• The pedestal head is strongly attached to the aluminium base by resting on a horizontal flange and clamped by a counter flange.
• The engine control mechanism is not attached to the pedestal head but to the pedestal base. This offers the unique advantage of mounting the complete mechanism to the pedestal and the attachment of the control cables independently from the pedestal head. The pedestal head can be worked on separately in the workshop to be adapted to the customer requirements with instruments, buttons and joysticks. This concept also eases the retrofit of a mechanism, or a swap from starboard to port.
• The robust guardrail has a four point connection to the pedestal head, spreading the loads smoothly over the pedestal head.
• The guardrail is attached to the back of the pedestal leaving the top surfaces completely usable for small instruments, buttons or joysticks.
• The underside of the pedestal deck flange has two large milled grooves where sealant can be applied to achieve a good sealing to the deck.
• The steering shaft is sealed by the Jefa developed PUR seal. Normal industry seals use steel reinforcement rings in the rubber housing. As the standard industry rubber will start to crack due to the UV in the sunlight, the steel rings will corrode and destroy the seal letting water in the steering shaft bearings with disastrous effects.

The 200 series pedestal is available as WP200 for wire steering, as RP200 for rack and pinion steering, as H200 for hydraulic steering and as TS200 for transmission steering and all pedestals are CE approved.

Brake spinner is not included and should be ordered separately.

* the displayed whell are optional

• Jefa has a wide range of steering wheels which fit on all our pedestals and steerers
• The pedestal can be fitted with Olympic 135 and Horizon 135 compasses from Plastimo.
• Jefa teak cockpit table is 300 mm wide and 700 mm long when folded in, and 600 mm wide and 700 mm long when folded out which can be fitted to the pedestal.
• The pedestal can also be fitted with an engine control mechanism. It's advisable to order the mechanism directly with the pedestal to insure the correct fitting possition in the pedestal head. It's possible to retrofit the mechanism. The housing is watertight against splash and rain water. The mechanism bracket is only available including the engine control mechanism as some modifications on the original mechanism have to be made to ensure a correct fit. A stainless steel 316 mechanism handle is included in this option.
