Thanks so much "rjarrell". We should stay in touch. I spent many years in south Florida and learned to sail on a Sunfish at my college in Winter Park.
I understand your point about the electronics section of the manual....that makes sense.
Regarding the wheel...there is no backing nut, or washer or anything between the wheel and the pedestal, so it tends to wobble a little bit. I ordered a washer and "C" clamp from Hunterowners.com. we will see if that helps.
I already replaced the refrigerator gas struts, so I am catching up to you on replacements....lol.......
and the wheel brakes are shot, so I will replace those next week when they come in.
One last question...did you replace the throttle and clutch connecting cables yet?
