[C320-list] No Backlight on Gauges

[Chef Adam Weiner]

Hey guys, you need to update the subject line when you change subjects.  I
am old, senile, and lame and I need the help of updated subject lines.  I
don't think the below e-mail has anything to do with backlights on gauges.

Love and kisses,

Adam

Darrel,
Not that difficult.  There are two threaded shafts on the quadrant.  All you
have to do is back off the lock nuts and tighten the nuts until the slack
has been removed.  You will want to use a couple of wrenches to make sure
the that the cable does not twist.
You should also inspect the sheeves for wear.  I recently did this job by
disassembling the sheeves so that I could inspect the pins, clean them up
and lightly oil them.  Do the inspection first while the cable is a little
slack.

Are they difficult to tension Monte? I will be on the boat tonight so I will

have look. I have had the boat 5 years and know I have never touched them,
