After a pleasant lunch with my wife and another couple at a waterside restaurant, “us guys” got back on my Hunter Cherubini 37 1980 and started backing away under power. Putting the shift lever in forward caused the lever to swing free (engine still in reverse) and the wheel to spin free (pull out the emergency tiller).
Man! Was I glad to see my wife on the dock!
Put out the anchor, call the tow boat, wait… you know the drill.
Does anyone have any experience with the connections and structures in the binnacle / pedestal? It was too late to dig into it when I got back to port. I’m not even sure how to get at the inner working except to take off the compass.
