[PUP] Emergency tiller

[Ron Rogers]

Well, I don't recall anyone else mentioning this possibility so it's a good 
thing to try. As I recall, this a two person job with one person manning a 
bleed valve in the lazzarette and another following a strict procedure 
moving the wheel in different directions while adding oil on the flybridge 
if you have one.

It was nice of Jim to respond and one can understand his having taken 
umbrage at extrapolating from one boat and one cruise to a class of boats. 
In fairness, most of us did not embrace that concept.

| Dear Scott:
|
| I understand that you believe the boat is steering badly with the fins
| centered and locked and if your observation is correct then I suggest that 
you
| have air in your steering system. Your boat is equipped with Hynautic
| equipment and the bleeding process is relatively easy but you must do it
| exactly as stated by Hynautic within their operators manual.
