[C320-list] FW: Re: Nav Pod Screws.

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

You can make a Nav-pod security wrench by taking a 5/32" hex wrench (commonly known as an Allen wrench) and carefully drilling a 3/32" hole in each end of the wrench.

Nav-pod (ie. Ocean Equipment) ships a wrench with each pod they sell, so if you go to an installer, I'd bet they have extra wrenches to give you. Also, check the binder that contains all your electronics manuals. I had an envelope with a wrench in there.

As a last resort, you can buy the TPK300 NavPod Wrench Kit from Ocean Equipment at $15.
