Thanks Mark. That's exactly how I figured out to do mine. Problem for me is that on the starboard side I have to first remove the coolant overflow tank. Where its mounted prevents the rotation of the belt guard.

We are going to need to see pictures of your new switch panel. Love to see what you changed it to.If anyone happens to need the original switch panel or the original Raytheon speaker from the starboard side of the helm, I replaced the original with a bigger panel. The switch panel is in good shape as is the speaker. I also have that single plate for the auto pilot if anyone is keeping their boat original and needs a replacement
I had a hard time getting one of mine off. Took me a long, long time to get it to turn. There are three nubs on the ring that fit into curve slots on the base. Once I got it off, I found its a 10W G4 (two pins) bulb pushed into the side. That's in the 140 lumen range. So, go to superbrightleds.com or marinebeam.com or somewhere like that and just look for their round disk G4 replacements with side pins, that match the lumens as best as possible.Here is a picture of my old cockpit ceiling light, as anyone replaced it with a new led light? What led and were to buy it?

Is the antenna cable connected? I can not imagine it somehow disconnected but uou never know. Did the cable chaff on anything?
I will be heading down to the lake this weekend. I will check the cable and antenna.
.....Based on the slow entry of water if I have to do it again and completely clean out the nut and add all new packing, it would be no problem.
That confuses me a bit. Whatever was slowing down the leaking with the nut off, was packed between the sleeve and the post. But to repack, I would clean out only the nut and then push the 3-4 new rings into the nut. Then pull the nut down and tighten. Are you saying I would also need to try to poke out stuff in the small gap between the post and the sleeve? If so, why?What you did will work fine - adding packing, removing all the repacking while in the water will likely not go nearly as well. The packing still in there was creating a seal. If it still leaks I would add one more ring, then totally repack both rudders at your next haul-out.
