Default Re: Helm pod ideas needed.

Bryan,

I did something similar to what Warthog discribed on my 23' Sceptre several years ago. My original helm setup was similar to yours and I agree with Warthog - not ideal. My skills are sorely lacking compared to yours and Warthog's, but was a pretty easy solution to getting some angle to the wheel and halfway decent looking. I've been thinking about a pod (or Palm Beach, ala Rybo, Merritt) style helm also - will be very interested to see what other suggestions you get. Sorry - almost forgot - you can see some pictures of my helm in the SeaCraft Gallery, under Chris Downey's 1978 23 Sceptre.
