Stu, how much butyl did you use, do you think? and was it hard to do all of this? i know i put the control ends and cam cleats on, in 2014. when i called catalina today, they said it's so simple they don't bother writing it up.

thanks. this water seems to be coming in the screw holes on top. i didn't see that in the wiki, just a note about the thru bolts.

if you look at the picture, that is water coming out of the structure the traveler sits on top of. I never could figure out where water was coming in and when we ground some of the gel coat for stress cracks, that water came pouring out. dug it out to fiberglass and then put the air compressor on one of the screw holes of the traveler and sent water pouring out. so i apparently have to take the entire traveler off and rebed it. what do I use for the rebedding so water doesn't go in the screw holes (which have screws in them) and into the headliner? thanks

i came to my boat, at her winter storage, to find the steering wheel removed. i don't know by whom or what. pictures (3) at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10215801050431617&set=pcb.10215801052151660&type=3&theater. i found the wheel, the screw cover, and a metal "key" on the cockpit floor. there seems to be two slots for the key on the stem, where do i put it?
thanks

thanks. what do you mean, sloppy? like not holding?
i have a special bond with this one - i opened the hatch fully open, one day, so the arm was disconnected of itself and then forgot, and fell down the vberth hatch. i didn't know if i speared myself with the metal, severing my femoral artery. mildly amusing.

WOW! perfect! and cheaper than the whole assembly. I'll measure to confirm that will work
