Can anyone tell me what size & shape key I need for my steering wheel column to be put on at my flybridge? Is this a specialty item?

Steve,

It’s call a woodruff key & can be had at most any hardware store, Home depot & the likes. I believe the one U’ll need is 1/4"w X 1" long to be safe get a 3/4" long as well. I’m pretty sure it’s the 1/4 x 1" it looks like a half moon Whistle

Norm,

 You'll have bad times, but they'll just wake you up to the good times you weren't paying attention to

Some people try to turn back their odometers.Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

On MY 1975 37 footer....the upper and lower helm use a ROUND ROD...I believe the original may have been aluminum about 1 in long and 1/8 to 3/16 dia. I know it was fairly soft. I broke BOTH on my boat when I first bought it. The rudders were frozen and in the process of breaking them loose I broke BOTH. I replaced mine with aluminum hammer style rivets that I cut the head off of. The day I broke them I actually used a stainless screw with the head cut off to get me through the job. The shaft that the wheel rides on has a hole drilled all the way through it, not a normal keyway slot like I expected.

Its easy enough to pull the wheel off and check. Let us know what you find
