Stus-List Re: C&C 37+ Edson chain and wire spec

[Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List]

When I worked at Edson, you could determine the parts installed in a particular 
boat by the pedestal serial number, located under the compass.   Edson kept 
invoices arranged by the numeric order of the serial number that showed what 
components were sold along with the pedestal.
Since Edson has new ownership as of 2 years ago, they may no longer keep those 
records but you can give it a whirl.  
But in Edson’s defense, how many marine components suppliers know exactly what 
gear was installed into boats 30-40 years ago when the builder went out of 
business?  Saying they have bad customer service because C&C chose to change a 
rather standard component installation on a single model is a bit harsh in my 
opinion.  The mere fact that most of their gear has held up over time with 
minimal attention to servicing and maintenance speaks for itself.
