I find it humorous  every time someone suggests to remove the wheel and replace with a tiller, lmao  lol

cars were once steered with with a stick, airplanes with a stick and so on, times change and so does technology

a wheel isn't a disadvantage its a mechanical advantage , it may take up cockpit space but this is easily overcome by becoming a competent sailor 

stop living in the dark ages and get with the program ppl

yup, waterline to sensor is 1 foot, had the opportunity to measure a dry docked MKV

thanks for the input

Been down the south shore road, they weren't as helpful as I had hoped

Word back from Edson is, that the steering is not there's

quite possible the tech isn't old enough to know, possible a one off design commissioned for C&C for the MK V,

I believe the pedestal to be Edson,all of the controls seem to be of the same, whether or not the rest of the steerage is or is not, is the question 
 
thought I was getting somewhere,

Ken,

thanks for the insight, I am now in communication with Edson,

their website doesn't have anything downloadable for the MkV steering system, it is unique

currently awaiting reply from their tech dept

thanks again for the steerage in the direction

Steve,

no hydraulics here

no adjustment at the tie rod where it attaches to the rudder

the steering cable where it connects to the chain drive is concealed within the pedestal

I've had a look from underneath and nothing to see,

I'm of the mind that the pedestal needs to be disassembled to gain access to the point of connection, whether there is an adjustment there, I do not know

I may just send an email to Rob at south shore yachts, I'm sure he knows

thanks for the input though

Alan,

thanks for the reply

think I've got it figured out, for now... Lol

no back flow since yesterday, think I may have had a blockage in the Joker valve, poo not all the way through syndrome

was looking in the owners manual today and am a little shocked with the stated holding tank capacity for the 27, only 5 gallons! although this spec is in reference to a self contained toilet, to me best  understanding, this is not a self contained toilet

I've been quite bothered by the manuals poor details in many of the vessels systems when referencing a MkV

the tanks seems larger than 5 gallons, but hard to tell for me. If so, this is quite useless for any on or off shore cruising, pump out costs are not cheap!

as per your suggestion, I will perform some searches here as well will make a call to Rob at South Shore Yachts on the holding tank capacity 

for now, I need another pump out!
