Ugh, I feel your pain. I'm sure nothing that several hours and a few ounces of blood and sweat won't cure. Good luck and keep us posted.

Another good option is Eric Kent, KentFab, in Pembroke, MA, at 339-244-4531.
Eric did the tanks for my 23' plus a bunch of other work. Very high quality and
very good to work with.

Ken,
We don't know each other but I am a parent. My sincere condolences, none of us should ever outlive our children. You, your family and son all have my prayers.

GFS,
Sorry for my slow response time. I think I spent more time at Millway Marine and Sandy Neck than I did at my house during the summers. I know the owner of MM at the time was John Cannady...

The silver/aluminum rectangular box with the hydraulic hoses attached is the relief valve for the steering system. Agree that the rest of it appears to be an old auto pilot drive unit. Not sure of...

The only SC I remember seeing them with was the 20' SF. Mrs. Onassis supposedly was purchasing the 23' Sceptre for the same reasons my father was; don't know if they bought another after that.
