[C38] Quadrant

[Max Soto]

Patrick,
>From my point of view, you're lucky!!! Disassembling mine took me one
week!!LOL... While assembling it will take just a few minutes.
New from Edson, they run for around $280, and they will bore it to the
right diameter for our rudder post diameter,
... The quadrants on our boats can get wet by saltwater easily, and the
salt deposits and white stuff that corrosion produces will contaminate the
pores of the cast aluminum, making it sometimes,  impossible to weld. Hope
this is not your case...
 If you still have your water heater installed, you'll have to remove it in
order to assemble it. For ease of maintenance and rudder removal on the
future, assemble every bolt on the quadrant with teff gel , or similar, or
at least put  some grease on them.
Good luck!

Regards,

Max
