Hi,
I have a1988 C&C 30 MK II with edson pedestal and steering out of DYC in
dartmouth NS.
The steering of Incognito has developed a major sqeak when turning the wheel
and it is stiff to turn. This Problem was first noticed when the wheel seemed
stiffer than usual after launch. Then it seemed to be intermittent but today
with heat is very stiff and loud..
First I thought it may be clutch on Raymarine wheel pilot but now I believe
that I have narrowed it to either in the D 25 edson drive wheel or where the
rudder post shaft enters the emergency tiller collar.
I thought about taking the screws holding the outer collar of the emergency
tille on the floor of the cockpit before the walk through transor to see if I
could lubricate but chickened out as I really do not know what taking those
screws out would lead to in the water.
I have oiled the wire cable coming from base of pedestal to sheaves and then
aft to drive wheel and the wheel runs quiter but the squeak is still severe.
Please can someoen give me direction as to what to lubricate and how and
whether this can be all done safely in the water.
Thanks
