[C320-list] Questions about LPG tank refill, and removing the wheel

[Brad]

Hey everyone, 

Its been a while since I have been on the list, some things going on that have taken me away from sailing.  I think I sailed twice last fall, and the boat came out in late November.  

This year I have vowed to be more active on the list and find more time to sail as well…..  

Anyway,

I was working some spring commissioning items, and I have two items that I cannot figure out on my 2004 320.

First, how in the world do you get the propane tank disconnected so it can be refilled?  If you spin everything at the refill point, the gauge and regulator will just hit the tank and keep it from spinning.  And really that is the only way it can be refilled…..  Really confused on this one……

Second, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to take the wheel off, in order to service the autopilot.  I don’t know if it is stuck, or I am just not approaching it correctly.

If anyone can give me some ideas of how to approach these, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks,
