Has any experienced a problem with the quadrant moving resulting in the rudder moving off center? Any information on adjustment and actions to prevent it from happening again? Bill

B331 rudder slippage

ABSOLUTELY! I bought my 2001 B331 in November and noticed the wheel kept getting offcenter and i kept adjusting the rudder stops and marking the wheel center and it kept changing... I finally discovered that 3 of the 4 bolts attaching the rudder stock to cable wheel were hand loose and only one bolt was providing any friction at all!!! Get you a couple of offset wrenches and go to work on it. Very tight quarters and you have to tighten them from below and through the access port in the cockpit for using the emergency tiller. Good luck.
