Maybe if the swaged threaded rod was not corroded in the hole, it is possible
that there could be some movement of the rod when it is not under tension i.e.
the wheel is turned in the opposite direction. The movement in the hole could
possibly damage the threads making adjustment difficult?
Makes sense. Thanks.

Chuck,
Agree with all you said. On Touche' there was a nut on the cable side
opposite the tensioning and lock nut when I disassembled the system. I put
it back but really wondered what purpose it served. Guess someone thought
it important.
Thanks for the response.

I neglected to answer the second question:
These days, take up eyes are simply easier to install in the system. If you
have swaged threaded rod on the end of the cables, it can be a bear to thread
down through the idler and turning sheaves around and through the holes on a
quadrant or
Dennis,
As long as you have two nuts on the tensioning side, you’re good to go.
Putting a nut on the “cable” side of the threaded take up eye or swaged rod
simply prevents you from adding tension when you adjust the cable with the
adjusting nut. If your lock nut is outboard of the tensioning

Why does Edson not want a nut opposite the tensioning and lock nuts. Just
because it is redundant and serves no purpose?
Is a tensioning stud bad? Is an adjusting eye better?

Per Edson’s instructions, both nuts go on the “bitter end” of the cable. One
is to tension the cable, the other is a locking nut to prevent the other nut
from coming loose.
FWIW, if you’re dealing with a swaged threaded rod on the end of the cable and
chain, you’re using a 38 year old steering
Those are widely available at big box building supply stores as well as
Amazon. Search for "white plastic nylon 1 inch hole plugs".

There is not enough slack in the cable to pull it off the quadrant – if I could
do this there would be enough slack to pull the end of the chain up through the
binnacle for inspection, but now the only way to get more slack is to take a
pulley off, something I am reluctant to do.
We tried

Thanks everyone for supporting this list with
How much slack is in the cable? Can you put the nut back on and try to
tighten it to pull the stud through the hole a bit and break it loose?
Also, there should be a nut on the cable side of the stud. That is, on
each side of the hole in the quadrant. See:

Rigging surveys are done by riggers and mechanics do engine surveys. Both of
these things can easily be done if you want to pay the .
Keel bolts are a bit different. There certainly are surveyors who could check
them, but it would involve NDT equipment and dropping the keel. Very few
I don't think there is anything else holding the screw, just corrosion.
Try twisting, rocking, pushing and pulling. I find PB Blaster pretty
effective too.
There should be 4 bolts that hold the 2 halves of the quadrant together.
If push comes to shove you might just disassemble there.
