| Jefa 100 series steering pedestal concept |
With the 100 series pedestal Jefa Steering introduces a
new style in classic pedestal design. The traditional "wine
glass" shape is combined with modern lines into a beautiful
pedestal design. The important accessories like the guardrail and the
compass binnacle are integrated into the concept. Due to this innovative
design no mountings bolts are visible on any part of the exterior of the
pedestal. The
integrated compass offers easy and clear readings without the need of a separate
binnacle. The 32 mm diameter stainless steel 316 guardrail is firmly
attached to the pedestal head offering the best protection
for the compass and pedestal combined with a strong support when moving
around in the cockpit. The integrated powerful and
progressive friction brake can be operated without putting one's hand through
the wheel.
The 100 series pedestal concept has big advantages over existing similar
concepts:
- All pedestal parts are machined from seawater resistant solid
Aluminium 6082. As this material is also used for rudder shafts, it
will not corrode, even when it's exposed by a surface damage. No
casted aluminium parts are used in this pedestal.
- The robust powder coated aluminium base has no mounting holes for
pedestal bolts as these are integrated in the pedestal deck flange.
This avoids multiple weak points for damage with the accompanying
corrosion and possible leaking.
- The input socket has no exterior mounting bolts for a stylish look
and avoiding multiple potential corrosion and damage points.
- The robust guardrail is mounted directly to the pedestal head
avoiding a top plate with mounting bolts with potential corrosion
points.
- The compass binnacle is integrated in the pedestal design avoiding
a set of mounting bolts with potential corrosion.
- The steering shaft is sealed by the Jefa developed PUR seal.
Normal industry seals use steel reinforcement rings in the rubber
housing. As the standard industry rubber will start to crack due to
the UV in the sunlight, the steel rings will corrode and destroy the
seal letting water in the steering shaft bearings with disastrous
effects. The PUR seal will guarantee an life long sealing.
The 100 series pedestal is available as WP100 for wire steering, RP100
for rack and pinion steering and TS100 for transmission steering. All pedestals are CE approved.

variations |
| The 100 series pedestal is available in multiple
variations. The pedestal can be fitted with an engine control mechanism
and with a forward bend extended guardrail (called kick-back guardrail)
for the mounting of instruments, buttons and joysticks. The following
illustrations show the most common combinations. Please click on the
illustrations for a larger view.
|
| Jefa 100 series engine control housing |
| An engine control mechanism and housing can be fitted to
the Jefa 100 series pedestal. It's advisable to order the mechanism
directly with the pedestal as a special stud has to be mounted in the
pedestal head. It's possible to retrofit the mechanism housing. The
original stud will have to be replaced by a shorter version. The housing
is watertight against splash and rain water. The mechanism housing is
only available including the engine control mechanism as some modifications
on the original mechanism have to be made to ensure a correct fit. A
stainless steel 316 mechanism handle is included in this option. Please click on the
picture for a larger view.

| Jefa TS100 transmission steering pedestals |
| The TS100 is the transmission steering version of the 100 series
pedestal. The 25 mm steering shaft is equipped with the standard
international 1" taper to fit all Jefa wheels up to 1500 mm
diameter. The head of the pedestal contains a 1:1 bevel gear set so the
torque is transmitted to the down shaft. |

available at request.
- The compass mounting flange should not exceed 180 mm diameter.
- The appropriate compass hole will be drilled when the compass is
ordered together with the pedestal.
- The pedestal mounting studs are available in multiple lengths to
suit the cockpit floor thickness. The mounting studs are positioned
on a circle of 220 mm.

| Jefa guardrail feet for 100 series
pedestals |
The Jefa type 100 guardrail feet are unique in the world
as they not only secure the guardrail firmly to the cockpit floor, but
they also provide a watertight solution when cables have to go through
the cockpit floor. The only part visible from the outside is a 5 mm
high, 40 mm diameter black ring as the top of the guardrail foot is
inserted into the stainless steel tube. A 3 mm O-ring makes sure no
water will enter from outside. Jefa steering produces 3 types of guardrail feet. Type 1 is
supplied when no penetration to the cockpit floor is required for engine
control or instrument cables. Type 2 is supplied when engine control or
instrument cables have to go through the cockpit floor with a maximum
thickness off 45 mm. Type 3 is supplied when engine control or
instrument cables have to go through the cockpit floor with a maximum
thickness off 95 mm.
So the following is included in the deliveries: A 100 series pedestal
without engine control or extended guardrail: 2 off type 1 feet. A 100
series pedestal with engine control: 1 off type 1 and 1 off type 2. A
100 series pedestal with engine control and extended guardrail: 2 off
type 2 guardrail feet. Type 3 has no surcharge but has to be separately
ordered. Please click on the
