I like things EZ. So, in that vain it's just one less thing to rig and unrig which means they stay there all the time. So does the mast raising pole and hardware. I just lift them up against the mast and clip them on (we've added a clip) and the foresail slides past when changing tack.

Jack, How much weight did you add with all those changes?
Were you at all worried when is slipped off the trailor for the first time?

Just wanted you to know we have copied several of your mods to our and they work great.

We'll miss our monthly mod fix from you.

We did the same thing only got them at Harbor Freight in Everett WA. So if you have a store near by is worth a try, if not this is the on-line address: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=92122 We paid a whooping $12.00 for 2 and now they are on sale for $9.99. They seem...

The Admiral says we’re thinking about a BBQ grill to mount on the aft rail, not sure how I convinced her of it, but ain’t complaining. What do you like and what makes ya like it? We've looked at the Magma and some others at Boaters World and don't understand the $$$$ difference. Are there any pit fa...

I just returned from a business trip to Mexico and they are upset that some of the work that used to be sent to them is now being off loaded to China. My Mexican hosts couldn't figure out why I started to grin when they started griping about China, Hummmmmmm. Last March I was in China and saw how th...

My Father-in-law was putting gas on fungus rings on his lawn to kill them. Something he had done for 40 or more years. Suddenly the gas lit and started to burn. Got him over 10% of his body and at his age was a long road back. Things can happen anytime when we are not thinking about it. This WAS a s...

Found a pack of the "pumps" on ebay at the link below.
You just put it on your own length of 1/2" hose:

she forgot a chruch phone book. she had to call someone to play the Piano for her while we were gone.

Hooked the :macx: behind the Durango and headed to Camano Island (cause we were looking at a place there). Found the water about 15 feet past the end of the cement ramp, so went back to Everett and launched. Spent the night at the Jetty Island dock and cooked breakfast on the boat for the first time...

Duane Dunn, Allegro wrote: I added a single 12v LED to my head light on a separate switch. It's current draw is not detectable. We leave it on all night so there is no need to ever turn on the full head light when using it during the night. Hi Duane, do you remember the output of the LED you install...

Thanks ALX, Guess I didn't ask this very well. It looks like you could install the adjuster with the "web" up so it sat on the chain-plate tab rather than cutaway a section to mount it "web" down as the photo showed. I found an adjustor in the tool box from the PO and sat it on t...

Duane, the tensioning lever designed for the X by "Winderra" is way cool. I had been thinking of raising the attachment point on the mast so I could put the thumb lever on as was on another mod. But this looks so much simpler. Why is the shroud adjuster trimmed at the back end for the 1.5 ...

We have used the 3m re-positional hooks with great success in our :macx: They are cool cause they hold strong but when you pull down on the release tab, release into your hand. We've had them attached for up to 2 years and they just dropped off when we wanted to re-arrange things when the Admiral ge...

I have the pedestal guard from BWY on my 99X. It was installed by BWY when they originally sold the boat. It is attached with a backing plate behind the plastic and has substantial strength as mounted. We have had a couple of hard slams from the boom snapping across when we first started learning ho...

Eric and Zoran, I really appreciate your willingness to share toys, I used to be more open to that as well. Then about 9 years ago I let a friend borrowed my plane to take his lady to her Mothers for her birthday. He had flown with me many times and was a good pilot but to no avail, we still lost bo...
