I noticed a squeak coming from the binnacle crossing the Thames this week. Cable squeak? I have some PTFE grease I’ve been meaning to grease the cable with. Or is it too high up in the mechanism to be the cable needing greasing? The sqeak sounds like it is coming from the spigot of the wheel. I’ve recently had the drive on the auto pilot rebuilt so I’m pretty sure it isn’t that.


Any thoughts?
