[C320-list] traveler upgrade for 1994 320

[Robert E. Sloat]

Nat-Depending on your existing traveler, you may enjoy all the little ball 
bearings breaking loose when the traveler car is removed from the track.  If 
your are replacing the traveler that is not a problem, but if you are just 
removing the car you need to either collect them or have something like the 
track on to which the car is slid when it is removed from the track.  My 
2002 C320 has a Gauhauer traveler and adjustable jib cars and neither has a 
captive design for the ball bearings.  The latter came with a small track 
that you can slide the jib car on to for removal without loosing any of the 
ball bearings.

Call Garhauer Marine, they can sell you an upgraded traveler car, blocks and 
cam cleats that will fit on your existing traveler track. Replacement is 
easy; slide off the old car, slide on the new one. You may need a Dremel to 
cut off old parts that get in the way. This will be a big improvement - I 
did mine two years ago. Garhauer are great folks to deal with and they gave 
me a C320 Association 10% discount.
