Even though Whitlock was bought by Lewmar, the steering systems were originally made by Jefa about 15 years ago. The Whitlock pedestal installed in the 1200 looks exactly like the Jefa RP300 model.

The pedestal is called the Lewmar Cobra Monarch, and the ones installed on the 1200 were chain and cable drive.

This is a link to a document for the Cobra Monarch (but the inner workings do not apply because this diagram is shaft drive). https://www.dropbox.com/s/463hjg26d0q6c ... h.pdf?dl=0

This is a link to a document for the Lewmar Constellation -- THIS SHOWs THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE CABLE DRIVE used in the 1200. This is what you need to reference for the DF1200.
