JEFA WP600 CABLE STEERING PEDESTAL
Jefa 600 series steering pedestal
The WP600 pedestal solution is a new variation to the light and affordable pedestal for the growing number of twin wheel steered boats. It is one of Jefa's flat top pedestal which accommodates the need for a possibility to mount a custom made plotter pod. The pedestal is completely made of high strength aluminium 6082. To protect the pedestal against the tough environment it’s alochromed (chromate conversion coating) and after that powder coated resulting in an long lasting finish. This build method results in a relatively low weight and a very strong, stiff and durable construction. Due to a very flexible build method, the pedestal angle and height are variable on request.
Brake spinner is not included and should be ordered separately.

Jefa 100 series guardrail feet

The Jefa type 100 guardrail feet are unique in the world as they not only secure the guardrail firmly to the cockpit floor, but they also provide a watertight solution when cables have to go through the cockpit floor. The only part visible from the outside is a 5 mm high, 40 mm diameter black ring as the top of the guardrail foot is inserted into the stainless steel tube. A 3 mm O-ring makes sure no water will enter from outside. Jefa steering produces 3 types of guardrail feet. Type 1 is supplied when no penetration to the cockpit floor is required for engine control or instrument cables. Type 2 is supplied when engine control or instrument cables have to go through the cockpit floor with a maximum thickness off 45 mm. Type 3 is supplied when engine control or instrument cables have to go through the cockpit floor with a maximum thickness off 95 mm.
