the steering wheel on mye Beneteau 350 (1997) is sliding back and forth in the pedestal. I cannot see what is missing or if anyting is actually missing on the axle. Should the chain be moved forward or should there be a sleeve or something stopping the axle to slide? I very much appreciate some...

Hi I’m currently working on a Solent stay. And I need a strong base for the chainplate. I could reinforce it directly to the hull, but the easy way is to bolt it thru the base at the anchor windlass bedding. But is this part strong enough for this upward tension? As seen on the picture the...

Me and the admiral are very serious about a 45f5 we found. The PO (previous owner) took out the builtin propane locker. I hope people are still looking at the form as I need some pics of the original propane locker so I can manufacture one. Thanks in advance for your help. Sam

Hi, I just find out there's a small water leak on the pipe that goes from the freshwater pump to the gully sink, and as such the fresh water pump gets automatically and continuously triggered if just turned on as there's is no air seal. there's also a small hissing sound coming from the back of...

This may be a really stupid question...... but I've just bought a Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 331 (2000), and while messing aroud inside, I pulled the forward sliding cabin door to, while I was in the saloon. Problem is, I can't open it again! I can't see any catches to operate and it feels as...
