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 caseā€¦I would be skeptical.

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

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.  Dave
