removal Edson CDi Helm, Panish Single Lever Control

We installed the Edson CDi new helm in 2002 along with a very nice custom single lever throttle / shifter made by Panish. Now, after 12,000+ miles and 10+ years (2012) we have removed the helm and sent it back to Edson for service. The issue is with the control cable mounts as they seem to be scoring the inside of the helm tube. We have been concerned about this, and we wanted Edson to look into this. The fantastic aspect is how great Edson has been to work with. They are very supportive and very helpful and THEY wanted me to return the helm for inspection and service. Here are the photos on removing the helm....
