Questions From a new B40 Owner
Hi All - I'm the proud new owner of an '11 B40. 2 cabin model with 54hp yanmar, furling main. Have had the boat for a few weeks now and about 120 miles of sailing (and motoring).

GaryG added a discussion to the group Beneteau 40 & 43teleflex engine control problems
I am having problems with my Teleflex engine control. It works fine controlling the throttle, mooves smoothly. But when the tranny is engaged the lever is very hard to move past 10:00 inf orwrd, or 2:00 in reverse. Once it passes that point it moves smoothly.

I am going down to the boat this Friday to get her in shape for summer sailing and will let you know when the next trip will be.
Welcome to Seaknots!
I have a 36' motorsailer based in (actually near) Oriental, NC and plan to do a lot of sailing this summer on the Neuce River and Pamlico Sound.
I live not too far south of you in West Virginia. Let's go sailing!
