NavPod SG125 StraightGuard 9.5" Wide 1.25" Straight Tube Diameter

The NavPod SG125 StraightGuard 9.5" Wide 1.25" Straight Tube Diameter is a specialized marine instrument protection system designed for pedestal steering upgrades on vessels equipped with Edson or Lewmar steering systems. Built from 316-grade stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, this straight-tube guard accommodates a single InstrumentPod without bends, offering corrosion resistance essential for saltwater and challenging marine environments.

The 1.25-inch diameter tube paired with 0.065-gauge wall thickness provides structural rigidity while maintaining a clean aesthetic on modern and traditional helm stations. The 9.5-inch width accommodates standard InstrumentPod configurations without modification. 316-grade stainless steel—superior to the more common 304 grade—resists chloride corrosion in marine atmospheres, making it the industry standard for offshore and saltwater applications. The mirror finish provides both visibility and professional appearance on exposed steering pedestals.

This StraightGuard is engineered for owners upgrading steering system protection without full pedestal replacement. The straight configuration suits vessels where existing pedestal geometry requires linear guarding rather than curved or angled designs. Common retrofit applications include Edson systems and select Lewmar (Whitlock) installations. The NavPod SG125 is particularly suited to commercial fishing, charter, and serious recreational vessels where instrument protection directly correlates with operational safety and equipment longevity in demanding salt-air conditions.
