This part was made from steel until 1989. In 1990 the part was changed to the investment cast stainless steel part that we offer today. Some owners report failure of this part that was only discovered after shards of rusty metal were found in the steering well below the radial drive wheel.

If your boat was built before 1990 and is equipped with a radial drive wheel, this part is worthy of inspection.

This same kit is included loose with purchase of the radial drive wheels listed below in "May we also suggest" and includes two smaller machine screws and nuts for through bolting the radial drive wheel, typically not needed when replacing only your rudder quadrant stop.
