Bonjour Sébastien,

There should be some adjustment available on the brass "things" attached to the 
levers. A picture I have from the installation manual shows that the other end 
is a threaded rod that threads into the attachment at the end of the 
transmission cable. I was hoping that I can make the adjustment there.

Your picture reveals one more thing, though - that even if there is some 
adjustment room on that rod, there is no way to do it without first dismantling 
pretty much everything around (short of a very small dwarf repelling into the 
pedestal).

I have a couple of somethings that might look like a screw cover. I will try 
popping them out and see.

Btw. my current approach is that if I cannot reasonably easily adjust the cable 
on the pedestal side, I will try to extend the thread on the transmission end 
(by using a die and cutting the thread a few mm longer). This should last till 
the end of the season when I can try a frontal attack, potentially including 
replacing the cable.

thanks

Hello Marek,

  The original compass on mine appeared to have been modified by the previous 
owner.  It was held in place by screws on the upper part of the chrome collar 
holding the compass.  There was screw covers need the bottom part of the collar 
that were not covering anything in my case, they could look a bit like rivet 
but are easy to pop out using a thin blade, you might find your screws there.

  This spring, I installed a new compass and the attachment is now as Jonathan 
described (under the light cover of the compass).

  There is not much adjustment to be made that the pedestal end of the 
transmission cable on my boat.  Below is a link of what I found when I first 
opened up the pedestal.  In mine, I have two position to attach the 
transmission cable and it was already attached the the position with the most 
travel.  My lever also hits the SS guard in forward position but I the 
transmission is solidly engaged at that point.
