Why haven't we done Facebook yet?
Lance, please consider this a personal response, rather than a formal one from the C34IA Officers.
Facebook would, could, might, should, maybe will cause a breakdown of this very website.
The potential dilution of the material from this single repository of dialog and information to yet another form of electronic communication, in my view, would have the potential for reducing this site's importance.
As it is, this is THE place to go for any and all C34 information, as folks have just mentioned in this topic.
We have been extremely fortunate enough to have a band of skippers who have volunteered their time and effort for over the past 20 years into making this one of the best, if not the best website for a single boat probably in the history of that "innernet tube thingy."
Please consider the unforeseen consequences of suggesting that yet another method of communications between C34 owners be used.
Thanks for listening.
Stu

From a conceptual point of view, having someone else do something on your boat that YOU can't do is counterproductive to DIY work.

Lazybones : If you look at the top of the steering quadrant I'm sure that you will find some grease as that PVC pipe just below the tiller cap had a center section cut out - specifically for the Edson steering quadrant. Then it has the rudder packing gland on the lower section. In the heat of the summer the best grease goes somewhere from the top section and I suspect it is down!!

Thanks to all for the feedback.
lazybone- Does the grease from the upper bearing find its way out and make a mess or does it stay put? What grease do you use?

You could have told your story here in less than a short paragraph.
Hope things work out for you.
You're right! I'm going to modify the opening post so I don't waste people's time. I get carried away with words sometimes.
Things won't work out for me. The best thing to do is run and hide. But I know dozens of others have done exactly that and that is how I ended up dealing with a scoundrel. People should know. That's why I bothered to write the story.
