Hi, I'm trying to replace the steering on Far Cove. Several people (like here...) have told me to contact Edson directly, but I can't find an order number (1-800 or otherwise...). I talked to Chimo Marine, who were listed as the "Authorized Dealer" for Vancouver, but they say they are wholesale only and will not sell directly to me. They directed me to Steveston Marine. Steveston Marine directed me to Chimo, and when they heard Chimo would not sell to me, to "the 1-800 order number" at Edson Intl. Does Edson Intl. HAVE a sales number? Do they sell directly?

I know this may be a dumb question, but did you try their web site at http://www.edsonmarine.com/contactus.html I found there is a dealer in NANAIMO and VANCOUVER to name a few. However, I couldn't find any place on the site to place an order directly. When I was in business for myself, they sent a regional rep. to visit me and wanted me to be a dealer, with the assurance that Edson wouldn't be selling directly to anyone in my area. -- My opinion and experience.

But as I said before, they said to go to Steveston Marine, and S.M. told me to "buy direct from the factory"...round and round... Lloyd Sumpter "Far Cove" Catalina 36

I explained the problem with them and they agreed to send me the stuff directly. Now (or at least in 7-10 business days), I'll be $1200CDN cheaper and have the parts for a new steering and engine controls for Far Cove. Yay (I think...) Lloyd Sumpter "Far Cove" Catalina 36
