[C320-list] Fw: Leaking Richie compass

[Richard A. Walker]

Get them from EDSON.  http://www.edsonintl.com/

On my old C-30 I hade to ream them out, they have new one made of some metal
that will not seize, so they say.  The problem as Orlando mentions was the
steel against the aluminum.  The new one may be made of "monel".  At any
rate they are better but also use the lanicoat or a similar product when you
screw them in.

Cheers,

Are these available in marine supply stores or do these need to be 
ordered from the factory?  How do I identify what I need?  I'd rather 
not disassemble until the new parts are in hand, if possible.
