Just bought #326 and am seeking suggestions for improving the chart table sliding function. Other than spray lubing the track, are there any secrets for aligning the track or otherwise reducing the force required to move the table?

Cold Beer + Hot Sailing = Increased Moving Force

I just bought a J 30 myself...I am having the same problem. I tried a little 10w40 today and it seemed to help some. I am hoping when it warms up a bit it will work better. Its still pretty cold in Upstate NY

I put a hinge on it...seems lifting it makes it slide easier.... but it still isn't good...I just took it off...it gets in the way when you need a beer.

This is designed to require force to move the cover since there is no hardware to keep it from shifting on it's own. You might try some silicon spray. The warmer weather and need for cold beer will make it much easier to open!

On Rauzer II #448 I have found that sliding the chart table easily is a balance issue. At the point where the raised wood of the table meets the forward bulkhead, the table slides back and forth with a couple finger tips and thumb. However, when someone comes onboard and tries to slide it by grabbing the table by the edges closest to them, it tends to bind and not move easily. Also, a little teflon or silcone spray in the track helps. Just wipe out any excess spray as it tends to be a little messy.

I helped mine by using some Simple Green to clean the track really well and then I used Sail Coat on it once in a while. Also pushing closer to the track vs out farther tends to make it a bit easier.

My chart table has broken from the slider. It appears the rules say it must stay onboard and in place. Any suggestions on how to take the slider out and re-attach it to the underside of the chart table?
