Yea, and any parking lot. Bring your tools and a small flash light. I need some spare bearing buddies. Just don't get them off my trailer.

There's Minney's Yacht Surplus (http://www.minneysyachtsurplus.com/) in Costa Mesa. Not sure what you need or want, but fun place to browse around.

Not in So Cal, but this place has great prices...a lot of stuff is stripped out of wrecks and other stuff is overstocks etc...excelent customer service also.

There is a place in Orange County. I think on Bristol in Orange? They have advertised in the Trader and They sell lotsa of used parts... Not a Pick-A-Part but maybe close enough?

I just checked out their site... That's the first place I'll go when my Shockwave needs a new main sail or replacement spinnakers. :D

I need a new steering actuator (where the cable comes from the steering wheel to the back of the boat). It is loose and now the ass end of the boat feels like I have racing slicks on it.

You have a bad cable? New ones are under $200 with the helm... I wouldn't put a used cable in there. Is the drive sloppy? Might not be the cable... It's common for the tiller arm to get loose on the gimble causing the drive to flop around quite a bit. It's an involved repair but fixable.

I had just replaced the cable....oddly enough because the old one was too tight. Now this one is extremely easy to turn....to easy that's the problem
