My concern is that most of the forklift operators/yards only work with power boats with the majority of the weight (engine) near the forklift itself. Unless he can show you hard evidence of moving around displacement sailboats when that is not the case…I would be skeptical.

From: CnC-List <cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com> On Behalf Of Stephen Thorne via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2020 2:55 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Stephen Thorne <stephenltho...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List New-guy C&C 40 Shopping questions- now Autopilot Folks, I asked a question a few weeks ago and not sure if I got an answer back from the group. So here goes again (and if I missed your reply ... appologies) Has anyone had experience with a yard lifting a C&C with one of those large marine folk lifts? A marina in Florida has a fork lift with 20' long forks which they say they can use to lift DejaVu' (34+) by attaching foam blocks on each fork arm to cradle the hull during the lift. This is a 50,000 lb fork and they lift 25,000 lb power boats routinely. DejaVu' weighs approx 13,500 lbs with gear & fluids. My plan would be to leave DejaVu' rigged and dry sail her. Thank You Stephen Thorne C&C 34+ DejaVu' 770.722.2848 On Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 2:29 PM David Knecht via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: I am with Joe that I consider my boat broken if the autopilot is not working. With that in mind, I wanted to pass on a tidbit I learned about my wheelpilot (EV-100 Raymarine). It worked flawlessly for 4 years and then last year started having the clutch handle release frequently. I rebuilt it last winter (cleaned inside, new drive belt) and it was better for a short time and then started doing the same thing. I found many people online with the same complaint (most use a bungie cord to hold it in place) and finally buried deep in a Raymarine forum post, I found a Raymarine tech suggesting lubricating the drive pulleys where the rubber belts went over them. I had never heard of this before, but tried it and it immediately fixed the problem. Not 100%, but much much better. It seems that when the drive belt rotates the wheel, it is running over the two smaller guide wheels with rubber belts on top on either side of the motor. One of those is associated with the clutch mechanism. If those guides and belts do not rotate freely, it puts tension on the clutch lever causing it to release. So you use waterproof grease on the inside of the black belt (between it and the white plastic guide) to make sure they rotate freely. I can post a diagram if it helps.
