Ron,
Here is my recipe to bring up a shine on my boats. I am a fan of the
Aurora products. I wash the boat down with Boat Clean in the wash
water, use Boat scrub on a sponge across the topsides and use Black
Streak remover on any of the stubborn spots. That always leaves the
topsides with
Hi Mike,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Mechanic says shaft to engine alignment is achievable but the issue is
that, with the strut too long, the shaft is not parallel to the log and so
dripless packing alignment is skewed.

Thanks for the leads on this repair. Still going down the rabbit hole...
Buck Algonquin, who is now Hydrasearch Recreational, can't match it up or
quote custom fabrication at this time. Quote requests are still out to
Miller's Island (foundry) and Algonac Marine Castings. May have better
success w
Reading all the threads on shaft misalignment, clearly the vertical shaft
misalignment needs to be addressed. However, I had an experience many years
ago on Thorfinn regarding lateral strut misalignment that seemed relevant to
some of the threads. While I had the boat in the boatyard for a bottom
Well, I disassembled Touche's steering system yesterday for a lng
overdue maintenance session. As in it's never been done in 47 years!
Touche's steering system is by Morch.
If you haven't checked your steering system, maybe this will inspire you to
do so.
Oh, no! Someone stole my pedestal!!
The Edson sterring system in my 35 MKII is not very easy to work on. It
works. I don’t fix what works. I painted my pedastal With 2 part
polyurethane roller and brush next time i will use 1 part polyurethane

but not that of
I replaced my cable back in the 90s at some point.
My biggest problem was the *iron* collar that keeps the rudder in the boat. It
was rusting to pieces. I replaced that with a stainless split collar from
McMaster, remade the plastic upper bearing to get rid of play, and added a
second stainless
Dennis,
Whew! That’s some serious rebuild effort. And worth every penny and hour of
effort. Safety first.
I, on the other hand, ripped my old pedestal out of the cockpit and threw it in
the trash, saving only the quadrant, 40” wheel, autopilot tiller arm and
compass.
Gonna call the nice folks
That collar may get replaced on Touche's next haulout. It looked a "bit"
rusty.

Dennis,
Thanks for the info, I'm going to have to look into my steering, also
most likely also 47 yrs without an overhaul.
I note two differences between your system and mine:
- instead of bolts through the chain to limit the travel, mine has an
aluminum plate bolted to the underside of the q
Don't knowabout the stops but Touche' originally had the engine controls on
the starboard bulkhead also. I moved them to the pedestal when I repowered
with the diesel. Ifilled thehole with a fuel guage.

Interesting test of older steering system.
Usually when idlers are serviced, we suggest new stainless pins, since the
older brass pins wear .
I've never seen a sprocket damaged like that - obviously not from wear .
The corner of the quadrant where your cable started breaking is an obvious
problem
