The stuff normally comes in 4 x 8 sheets, so getting a piece the right size should be no problem. You should look for a glass shop in your area that repairs storm doors and windows. Cost of material may be slightly higher, but you probably save a bunch on shipping - which can be pretty wicked. Plus

The rudder on my new (to me) '88 30MKII is very hard to turn. It's not the steering, I have removed the cables and the wheel turns freely. I'm pretty confident it's the rudder binding. When shopping, I had a deposit on another 30 MKII and it had the same problem. The yard fixed it but never ela

On the 4000+, there are rollers on either side of the motor gear. One of them is adjusted by loosening the screw on the back of the wheel unit, then turning the knob until you get the correct tension. I read that some earlier versions just have a screw that does the same function, but I don't

Another common problem with Raymarine autopilots, I've just discovered, is that the belt slips because the clutch loosens. On my St4000+, steering has always been so-so. After a semi-rough passage, it went out altogether and started yawing about 60 degrees in each direction. After removing t
