[C320-list] Lost part in pedestal

[Jeff Hare]

Sorry Tim,  I somehow missed the part about removing the fiberglass cover already.  (Small cell phone screen...)  Might check to see that it didn't already bounce out into the aft locker however unlikely that might be...  But a reasonably strong magnet should be able to find it as much as we hate to have magnets around a compass.

Should be able to get it from the aft locker. Look where the steering cables run and use a magnet attached to a stick. It'll be sitting down at the bottom.

I accidentally dropped one of those screwdriver bits into my pedestal this weekend while doing some maintenance. Sounded like it went to the bottom so I went into the aft berth and removed the fiberglass cover. Not there, any suggestions how to get this out? Thought of removing the base plate for the pedestal but figured it wise to check here first. Other option would be a mechanics pickup magnet. Really don't think it would be wise to leave it there.
