[C38] Accessing the Auto Pilot

[Dick Kilroy]

Richard: Nothing is easy to access in that part of the boat. Our boat "Dashaway" #193 has a 2ft+2ft access point in the port sail locker which is somewhat better than trying to get in thru the seat locker or quarter berth door to the engine.
Good luck however you proceed.

  My Autohelm 6000 on my '81 Cat-38 is either dead or dying. I'll have to replace some or all of it, depending on what still works. What I can't figure out is how one can access the area that is directly behind the engine. There is that opening in the lazarette, but I'm not sure a human could actually get through that space. From the rear bunk, there's just a rectangular opening that's big enough for an arm attached to a flashlight, but that's about it. How do all you owners tinker with the steering gear below the pedestal? Thanks very much in advance!
