We have a 34.2 (1999). Really our only gripe is a squeaky wheel. We have had our yacht Mystic for 4 months and as yet this problem is not resolved. Has anyone any ideas. J & L Melbourne Australia 23.03.05

Hi Mystic
I also have a 2001 34.2 and the problem is not too difficult to resolve, you need to remove the panels in the stern cabin roof to access under the steering pedestal. The steering cables turn 90 degrees around two 4" plastic sheaves with plain bearings that tend to squeeze the original grease out over time. The best fix is to loosen the cables on the quadrant so the sheaves are not under tension then you can force more grease in . I would avoid the short fix of squirting in WD40 or similar, this only helps for a short while and tends to dissolve what remaining grease there is
Hope it helps
Malcolm
