Hi All,
I have an E35/3 with Merriman Yacht specialties pedestal. The quadrant stop is a stainless tube about 1" in diameter which is inserted into a hole in the casting under the pedestal. The stop is very loose in the hole. I can take the tube in my fingers and rattle it back & forth - it doesn't come out, but I'd like to tighten it up.
I can't tell how the peice of tube is fixed in the hole (can't see a set screw, it doesn't seem to be threaded, can't see a weld anywhere). The Yacht specialties catalogue in the specs & documents is from 1974 and it shows that on an older design the tube is welded. My boat is a 1986 so I'm not sure how it is fixed in the hole.
Does anyone know how I would go about tightening this?
Many thanks,
Steve Gabbott
