Re: {Beneteau Owners} Re: Goiot Wheels For Sale

That depends how OCD you are. Given your description, I would not mess with it. I've used Turk's heads for years. To me, it's a personal decision.

My top spoke is ~ 5 degrees off (on the wheel) from the Turk's head, which is currently properly positioned. Are many of you very concerned if your wheel(s)' spokes aren't perfectly aligned?
FWIW, our rudder quadrant is back inside the transom and can only be accessed through a small hatch located in the aft cabin or another small hatch located in the port storage locker. At 5"10" and 170 lbs., I can't fit myself through either hatch. I can barely get my head, shoulder and one arm through the hatch. To access the cable tensioning nuts I would have to use an 18-24" socket extension. Forget holding a wrench onto the back nut while turning the locking nut. If I drop anything I'm screwed. I'd have to hire a small child to retrieve said item, and there are probably laws against that.
Should I go for realigning the wheel or leave well enough alone?

Although I have not done it, you would need to loosen the cables on the steering quadrant, then lift the chain off the spocket and realign the steering wheel. While at it, grease the chain and the steering cables.

We have a Goiot 35.25" wheel on our Jeanneau SO 35. Does anyone know if I merely need to loosen the hub nut to realign the hub, or do I need to access the chain, etc. The hub nut is behind the steering wheel cap, which is held on by 5 cap screws.
Sorry about asking this on the Beneteau list, but there is very little traffic on the Jeanneau lists, and after >20 years on this list and its precursors, I feel much more at home here.
