      It depends on the configuration of your boat. With a radial or quadrant where the cables attach on the far side of the post from the wheel, you need to wrap. On a quadrant where the cables attach between the wheel and post, no cross.

    Thanks to the Edson team for creating this video. I have a conduit system installed as original equipment on my Morgan 366. The rep here seems less sure of the benefits, but I believe that when well maintained, conduit systems are at least as reliable as sheave systems for a few reasons: 1. Cable is hermetically sealed inside the conduit through most of its run when greased liberally 2. Conduit, with wire running lengthwise, is less likely to fail than a sheave mounting or turning block My original install used 7-8' of conduit and did not have a greaser. I installed all new conduit and wire and a midline greaser, and the system has less slop and friction than sheave systems in similarly aged boats. I have no indications the plastic conduit ends would fail, but carry a few extras on my boat just in case. The only design issue I noticed in the implementation on my boat is that dirt and water entered the conduit ends (past the compass?!) which terminate vertically inside the binnacle. This caused rust and friction after many years. With inline greasers added, liberal application of the grease should displace any dirt or water out from the ends of the conduit. Edson, hope to see you support these systems for many years to come!

    Thank you this informative video . Before sea trial on a 1979 Westerly 36, the owner turned the wheel at quay (wheel was hard to turn, rudder was in the mud, unbeknownst to him) and the chain link and ring connecting it to the wheel broke. Upon inspection , it was found the non stainless ring linking the chain to the steering wheel was corroded and had broken in half. Now the owner proposes to repair it. The yard has fabricated a ring from a stainless shackle and is looking for a replacement chain link. Watching your video , this does not seem to be the proper fix. What would you suggest ?

    • @edsonmarine
      @edsonmarine Рік тому

      Hi Lydie - At this point, the whole chain and wire assembly should be replaced. Our pre-made assemblies have custom connections between chain and cable, but if you are doing it on your own then a high quality stainless shackle can be used. Not sure what role the ring play, the cable's eye can be attached directly to the shackle.

    I found that it's easier to install the brake assembly first as there is much more room to fit the cotter/split pin without the sprocket in place. You will need to fit the stainless steel brake retainer last though as you need the brake shoes to be wide apart to fit the sprocket. I notice that the brake assembly has a high-density plastic bushing where it fits the bell housing. It would be great if the maintenance kit included that bushing as they degrade over time and become brittle. A great video though and a task that is easier than it looks. Well done.

    Great video. I'm about to tackle that job soon. The original wire was cramped at the ends, so the u clamps will be new to me. Why not use blue thread.locker or a second nut to lock the u clamps nuts? I lost the removal picture so this will help as I have the second drum assay you show.

    • @edsonmarine
      @edsonmarine 3 роки тому

      Thank you, Mo River! Good question! The tension and thread pitch are more than enough to stop the nuts from backing off on the wire rope clamps. Because of the fine threads, they are susceptible to galling when too much force is applied via torque to the nut. This can happen if the nuts are over tensioned, tensioned unevenly during installation, or tensioned too quickly. Using loctite may require excessive force if the nuts need to be removed, so we would not recommend it for the reasons above. A second set of nuts, with light torque, would be a better alternative, but these could be tough to remove too (very small tools would be required). Better yet, if you would like redundancy, add a third wire rope clamp. The second clamp is already there for redundancy, and that third may provide you with that peace of mind that you are after. Thanks for reaching out! If you want to chat further on this, we’d love to talk, and you can reach us at (508) 995-9711 M-F 8am-5pm EST.

    Rex, we'll share the same reply here as we did in the other video, since your comments are also duplicated: Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're glad to provide some clarification and more details to assist with your concerns: This video is a shop demonstration. It is not intended to fully simulate the action of the pump in a boat (we are working on some new videos, but, likely, that the boat we use will still be different from yours). However, it does transparently show how the pump operates and show capacity: the capacity per stroke doesn't change with increased suction lift or discharge head because a diaphragm pump is a positive displacement pump. The effort required to make each stroke does change. That ultimately limits the applications of manual diagram pumps, but they operate very well within the limitations of almost all recreational craft. On the topic of debris, the pump is very capable of passing debris through the pump. This pump has the largest flapper valves of any pump in the recreational marine market, making it the least likely pump to get clogged. If it can pass through the hose, it is very unlikely to get stuck in the flapper valves. Note that these are the same pumps that we use in many pumpout stations (that fluid has plenty of suspended solids). In the event of a clog, four bolts are removed to allow for access. If clogging is a major concern, we would suggest that you a strainer on the end of the suction hose. We manufacture bronze strainers that will prevent any clogging in the pump and also help to better hold the suction hose in the bilge. There is a small level of added pumping resistance, but you may find this to be a worthwhile tradeoff. The mention of excessive debris is also a cause for concern. A safe boat will have a clean bilge (also painted white for visibility) and any potential items that could get swept in by incoming flooding should be cleaned up or secured. Debris from a collision is unavoidable, but reference above on strainers and the pumps ability to pass large solids. Among many other offshore and coastal examples, this pump was used to help rescue a sinking vessel in Tarpaulin Cove by Edson's CEO a couple of months ago. There was plenty of debris and suction lift required, and the pump performed phenomenally, just as shown in the above video. We would have loved to film this event, but human lives and the vessel was at stake, and stabilizing the situation took priority. This is far from a normal pump. Not only are these pumps 100% made in the USA, but their heritage is that of the original diaphragm pump invented by Jacob Edson. It is because of Edson that diaphragm pumps even exist. The pumps are made from either marine-grade anodized aluminum or bronze. The diaphragms and flapped valves were developed by Edson for the military and are reinforced to handle over 3,000,000 cycles (with hypalon and viton upgrades available). These pumps are expensive, but if maintained, can be passed down to the next generation. They are dependable and exactly what experienced offshore sailors (Don Street and Lin and Larry Pardey, among many others), the Coast Guard and Naval Academy sail training vessels, and Edson employees carry on board. When it comes to safety at sea, we don't take any shortcuts.

We would have loved to film this event, but human lives and the vessel was at stake, and stabilizing the situation took priority. This is far from a normal pump. Not only are these pumps 100% made in the USA, but their heritage is that of the original diaphragm pump invented by Jacob Edson. It is because of Edson that diaphragm pumps even exist. The pumps are made from either marine-grade anodized aluminum or bronze. The diaphragms and flapped valves were developed by Edson for the military and are reinforced to handle over 3,000,000 cycles (with hypalon and viton upgrades available). These pumps are expensive, but if maintained, can be passed down to the next generation. They are dependable and exactly what experienced offshore sailors (Don Street and Lin and Larry Pardey, among many others), the Coast Guard and Naval Academy sail training vessels, and Edson employees carry on board. When it comes to safety at sea, we don't take any shortcuts.

    Totally unrealistic video pumping clean water with negative head!! Show how easy it is to unblock the valves in the dark with the boat lurching about. Oops all those bits have fallen in the bilge! Overpriced, poorly designed standard diaphragm pump. ☹️

      Rex, we'll share the same reply here as we did in the other video, since your comments are also duplicated: Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're glad to provide some clarification and more details to assist with your concerns: This video is a shop demonstration. It is not intended to fully simulate the action of the pump in a boat (we are working on some new videos, but, likely, that the boat we use will still be different from yours). However, it does transparently show how the pump operates and show capacity: the capacity per stroke doesn't change with increased suction lift or discharge head because a diaphragm pump is a positive displacement pump. The effort required to make each stroke does change. That ultimately limits the applications of manual diagram pumps, but they operate very well within the limitations of almost all recreational craft. On the topic of debris, the pump is very capable of passing debris through the pump. This pump has the largest flapper valves of any pump in the recreational marine market, making it the least likely pump to get clogged. If it can pass through the hose, it is very unlikely to get stuck in the flapper valves. Note that these are the same pumps that we use in many pumpout stations (that fluid has plenty of suspended solids). In the event of a clog, four bolts are removed to allow for access. If clogging is a major concern, we would suggest that you a strainer on the end of the suction hose. We manufacture bronze strainers that will prevent any clogging in the pump and also help to better hold the suction hose in the bilge. There is a small level of added pumping resistance, but you may find this to be a worthwhile tradeoff. The mention of excessive debris is also a cause for concern. A safe boat will have a clean bilge (also painted white for visibility) and any potential items that could get swept in by incoming flooding should be cleaned up or secured. Debris from a collision is unavoidable, but reference above on strainers and the pumps ability to pass large solids.

    Drop a few bits of debris in the barrel or better still leave a small piece of anything stuck in the in the valves, typical of emptying a bilge. Then try getting the pump to prime from 8 feet above liquid level like a deck mounted bilge pump. Totally unrealistic video, you could tip the barrel over in those circumstances. Hey 1 second to shift 30 gallons! Even if you get the pump to work how long could you pump at that rate. Stop misleading people, it is an overpriced normal pump.
