[C320-list] wheel lock and new 320

[crashley at gte.net]

Jim,

Do you mean that the new speed (and depth) sensor is UNDER the v-berth? Mine 
is in the fwd cabin just fwd of the "doorway", but it's not under the berth 
itself.

Hummm,
Never thought of that. Maybe it is. I'll tighten it down and have the bottom 
cleaner try to move the rudder the next time it is cleaned.

Oh, comment on the new 320. I had an opportunity to move one for the local 
dealer. A two day trip. The locker installed forward of the port settee 
effectively makes it a three person cruising boat. Four of us guys did five 
days in my 1997 model and it worked out fine with two sleeping in the main 
cabin. That option doesn't exist unless the fourth is 5'5" tall. Also, the 
speed sensor was located under the v-berth. Mine is just ahead of the mast. 
Why they moved it to such an inconvenient location is beyond me.

Are you sure it's not locking? I find that I can usually turn the wheel by
hand when locked, but the rudder can't due to the leverage in the system.
