Hi Bob, 1) throttle/shifter location - my observation is that the location on the lower starboard bench is an odd location, somewhat inconvenient by design. I have seen some models with the Edson pedestal shifter installed. Has anyone done this conversion?
Call Edson, they very likely have a design for the pedestal installation if it has been done in the past and may be able to give you a list of materials you will need to do the conversion. Their customer service is excellent. 2) traveler shieves being frozen due to dirt and limited use. Any thoughts on that, best way to remove clean and lube? Replacement? Any upgrades done to the traveler? Lots of warm soapy water to wash out the existing grit, dirt and debris, rinse well and then, when dry, put a few drops of McLube OneDrop Ball Bearing Conditioner on everything with ball bearings in it. It will likely then work like new. https://www.mclubemarine.com/onedrop/ https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?id=1197753 On Sun, 28 Jun 2020 at 23:51, RLT via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Recently stepped into a 2000 C&C 121 and had a few questions on options > others have pursued or attempted? > 1) throttle/shifter location - my observation is that the location on the > lower starboard bench is an odd location, somewhat inconvenient by design. > I have seen some models with the Edson pedestal shifter installed.

It's the only thing," said the Water Rat Solemnly, as he leaned forward for his stroke. "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." "Simply messing...about in boats -- or with boats... In or out of 'em it doesn't matter. Nothing seems to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
