Re: M25 trailer tires and wheel size

Re: BF50 water pump replacement - water comes out holes

I also found this on the web. The part about the "the shift shaft adjusted to the proper length" is what worries me :? If it ain't broke, don't fix it "When removing the lower you must remove the zinc trim tab and under it is another bolt holding the lower unit on. The shift shaft is ...

Re: BF50 water pump replacement - water comes out holes

Post some pics when you do it, Ross. Maybe other folks with a similar engine can derive some inspiration from them. :) OK, so I want to see what it looks like in there, too. ;^) That would be me. I still haven't gotten up the nerve to replace the impeller :? It was easier to do than I thought it wo...

Re: Electrical Grounding for the house system

We have the factory wire (+/-) running from battery(s) to our panel(s) and the negative is still factory single ground pole behind panel. Thinking ahead; if we are increasing the load to the panels and require additional voltage we may need to max out the voltage to the panels by increasing the AWG...

Re: new purchase Macgregor 26'

My hull number is MACM0xxxF405 which translates to Manufactured in June 2004, Model Year 2005. I think it's kinda like a car, 2005 model made in 2004. Even stranger is the Model year changes on July 1 each year so she's really is the last of the "early" M's. FWIW: I do have the folding doo...
