Goiot wheel pedestal maintenance

[BigEasy]

Has anyone performed routine / preventive maintenance on a Goiot swiveling steering pedestal maintenace typically found 3_3 Oceanis models from 2005 thru 2008? Are there any instructions available detailing parts schematic, recommended maintenance intervals, etc.?

Seems that the swivel action on my 343 is getting stiff. Spraying the bushing on the outside of the pedesatal with lubricant is ineffective.

I wondered the same thing. I'm not having trouble with the swivel feature, but I do have a squeaky wheel and would like to find out how to lubricate the shaft. Also, I never have been able to figure out how to get the compass off the top of the pedestal for winter storage/maintenance.

Seem to recall prying the grey caps out on flange of compass to access screws. Been too long to remember if there is a tensioner nut for the swivel up there or not.
