It would be interesting to know the modifications to the chain locker

Yes agree - I am waiting for the dealer to fix this but discussion is around a slide or shute to push the chain further forward to the deeper part of the locker. At present the chain bunches up under the gypsey and jams it. We had the same issue with our 388.

I will report.

I can say the fix for the water and fuel gages has been excellent and we now have confidence to use the water without stressing.

This is not a rehearsal. Go for it. Kiakaha

This is something that was on my "to-do" list for a couple of seasons after commission my boat.

You'll get the opportunity to realign the wheels whenever you inspect the steering cables and chains in the pedestals. You just need to get the chain at the right position on the sprocket, with minor adjustments with the wires on the quadrant.

Mine are nicely lined up now but I understand why the yard might not do this. It's tedious and fiddly job for cosmetic perfection only.

Just a comment on what Stuart posted which I performed on my boat and agree with. However, I need to warn anyone doing this NOT to change the chain location on the rudder sprocket. This sprocket needs to remain in the center of the the chain travel. The sprocket on the wheel hubs is where you want to do the large adjustment, and as Stuart says, fine tuning can be done with the wire tensioners below deck. Slacken one and tighten the other will move the wheel slightly one way or the other.
