ABSTRACT:
A wheel steering apparatus for a boat. A pedestal housing is mounted onto a cockpit sole or other support member. The housing supports a shaft and sprocket that are rotated by a wheel. A sheave is mounted onto the rudder post that extends from the rudder. A chain and cable linkage couples the sprocket and the sheave to pivot the sheave as the wheel rotates the sprocket. The pedestal housing encloses the entire assembly. The apparatus is particularly suited to convert boats steered by a tiller normally attached to the rudder post to wheel steering.
