Re: 26M daggerboard

That is looking good, I like the idea, better than adding a lead ball at the bottom (it would create a lot of drag when motoring). I saw someone pouring molted lead into lower end of factory daggerboard. What you think about that, is it working? Also have two concerns about your mod. 1. Galvanizatio...

Re: Odin

I'm very familiar with the boat myself. 1-2 years after a purchase of my first Mac 2003 26M I got very interested in an Odin or Mast 28 if you will. But comparing apples to oranges Mac 26 is a better boat for the buck, easier to handle and trailer etc. that's why I'm a proud owner of my 2006 Mac 26...

Barn has 4 of cross beams on each side of boat spaced out about 13' apart. First set is around 8' from floor a secon...

Real weight of Mac 26M

My 2006 Mac 26M "Elanka" is safely stored in an old style post and beam barn in my backyard. I need to pull out trailer from under it for service. I wanted to use structural beams of my barn to suspend it while servicing the trailer. I have couple of different styles of pulleys one 1 ton I...

Re: How often do you change your water pump impeller?

Does anyone on the board have detailed instructions on how to change out the impeller on a 2005 Honda BF50A LRT? Thank-you in advance for your assistance. :) Fairwinds, Jim :macm: I could use them too. Seasonally changing oil is easy but replacing impeller instructions could potentially save an exp...

Re: Home Weather Station with Wind Speed.

I have one of these at home. They are good units but I doubt if would work on Mac. Yes it does show wind direction but only when it's fixed mounted and after lots of adjustments @ the top. It's meant to be used in fixed position. I'd love to install one of those real marine wireless units but they a...

I had reefing line installed few years back and it worked really nice but its performance is slightly degraded by the Cover now. If it come...

Re: Lake Champlain

Darek, Just like Lake Champlain, Lake George can have storms suddenly come at you. They can come over the mountains rather quickly. Whichever lake you go to, be on the look out. :o :idea: Keep you radio on, and always keep a check on the horizons. Ray Thanks for the info Ray. Is it a new pic on you...

Re: replacing a light with a fan

I think it's a good idea, I've never thought of that.
Especially for V berth, but I would use the wire fron head side instead, my son likes to read there.
I have done it with my stereo, tapped into light feed wire.
