Just completed the Uflex planetary steering system. It was quite a simple install, all you really need, that people might not have is a 3.25" circular bit. All told, the install took 1 hour 15 minutes and it's smooth as silk. I may have to take her back off the market... :) :) her steering has ...

Just ordered the uflex plantetary system...she will be "whole"


seriously tho, thanks for the input when things quiet down in my life, I hope to be back out here again...

Ok...thanks a ton for the input...I will put in the new system......She will be sold 'Whole"

I, unfortunately, have to sell my X. I do have it in the classifieds here but, have a question. When I took her out a couple months ago, I noticed the steering was very stiff. It had the original steering, so, i decided to replace. During the course of researching I realized I would be selling her. ...

I strapped her down to the trailer, no ballast, pulled the Dodge 1500 along side and strapped it to that. It seemed to work as there was very little movement from the boat and having the truck alongside seemed to help disapate(sp?) some of the winds and keep them from getting under the boat...

awesome, sounds like it'd be a fun time

I just replace my shifter cable, but, on a Tohatsu. It's not hard at all, total time, 2 hours start to finish. The numbers of the cable were about halfway down, as K0kampers said. Do not throw the old one away until you get the new one as you will need the end pieces...Good luck

I don't think my tuning was ever set up right. I've always had to use mast raising gear to get enough tension to pin front stay. I loosened side stays today and that helped, but, would love to have an experienced owner swing by and check it for me. Can pay, gas and beer... :) :) I'm afraid that I ma...

another question for Art....what are the chances for making seats for our X's? I would imagine the market would be good for a limited run. I just don't see spending the big dollars the other place is charging...and sorry to jump the thread, the question just kinda popped into my head...

Twinkies are pretty good... ....jk, I don't like them either so I'm curious to see the responses

well, just be prepared to say that a lot as the old blues need as much encouragement as you can give them to keep up to the much faster white hulls...

I put a boomkicker on, adds about 5 mins to the setup. It's nice to keep the boom up, but, as far as sailing, I'm still too new to know if it helps. I'll be hanging one of those lines from the back stay this year. The boom will still tend to swing side to side, even though it is supported, so that b...

,,why couldn't you live out on the East coast???...taking my Mac out is fun, a bonus beer is irresistable...

by around the world , I'll assume you mean Jamestown, Block Island or such...
