Hi,
2005 26M. Help please.
My helm box has seen better days.
Can I buy a new one? From where?
Will a later incarnation fit my 2005 pedestal?
Also, I'd like to gain more room in the cockpit, fore of the helmbox. The pedestal currently leans fore. Can I simply rotate the pedestal (and reverse the helmbox) so that it is leaning aft? I appreciate this will severely restrict the room between the helmbox and the Captain's seat but I intend to remove the factory fitted seat and replace it with a narrower tip-up teak seat.
Thanks.
