[C38] Edson binnacle clutch shaft

[Don Strong]

Pierre: Thanks for pointing this out. The fuel and shift levers on the 
ancient Edson pedestal of Discreet Charm are horribly difficult.
The replacement rig that is in the image is here 
(http://www.edsonmarine.com/marinestore/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1084).
It is $408 from Edson. I might spring for this upgrade, but will spend a 
day taking the old one apart again, and measuring.
