Changing wheel - hub adaptor question

[Canoe52]

I need to put a new steering wheel (destroyer type) on my 40 year old Albin 34. The hub shaft I have is a straight 3/4". All the wheels I've found are made to fit either a 1" shaft or a tapered 3/4" shaft. I've searched for hub adapters, the only ones I've found are made for tapered 3/4" to 1". Always had tiller steering before so new to this realm of pedestals, quadrants etc. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Most any machine shop anywhere will be able to fix ya up in a flash no prob ! Might cost a little but it will be fixed !! Just a thought

Thanks bobconnie, great idea!

Now why didn't I think of that? Just not used to having anything fabricated anymore, I guess...

Pretty straight forward change. A 3/4 to 1 " bushing, brass pinned to the 3/4 shaft, with a key of rectangular section to allow for the extra height needed.

A 3/4 tapered female to 3/4 straight male will be a fairly easy. Mine was the opposite, a challenge. It'll have a very thin wall though but doable.

It'll need some sort of a shoulder to keep it from sliding up the shaft.

If you were in Australia we could do a swap
I need a tapered and I currently have a straight one.

Del, think about that , he is looking to go in another direction. 3/4" straight to 1" straight (Edson wheel?), if I read correctly.

Edit:--or are you thinking just machine the taper out of an Edson standard taper to straight adaptor, that might work
