Re: WHAT AM I MISSING WHEN MOTORING
I know exactly what you mean. I have gotten so that I can anticipate when it going to start to swing either to port or starboard. If I do not anticipate quick enough, it is almost impossible to straighten it back up. My Admiral has given up on it entirely! Every time I put her at the controls we eit...

Re: Well, you wanted a swim platform....
I think it's a great idea! Up until now the only option was to have one custom built. Apparently these guys have thought it through and made assembly fairly easy. I am seriously considering getting one. Also, there are not a lot of people rushing to get into business making anything for the Macgrego...

Re: Interior ladder
I would love to do a mod that would gain access to the aft berth through the ladder area. On the port side I want to keep the galley free to slide to enlarge the cabin area. If I use our butane burner, I don't want the galley slid forward. I want all that heat and steam going through the hatch. Clim...

Re: Why Do We Need Foam
To Foam or not to Foam is NOT the question! My question is, What mod it BOAT up to next? I know it involves an area in the :macm: that has foam in it. I'm just pondering what he's up to. I have multiple mods from him, and yet here I find myself again with pen, paper and check book in hand waiting fo...

Re: New Teak and Holly Cabin Sole
Boat great job as usual. I always like your mods because they appear to have been customized at the factory. By the way, I have copied your hot water system, even with the stainless ring to trim out the top (ordered from the source you sent me). Thermal wrapped the canister under the sink too. Keeps...

Re: Now, what is THIS lunacy?
BOAT, I just received my stainless steel ring from California. My Extreme Zodi tank came last week. A big thank you goes out to BOAT and kmclemore for all the info on this mod. I just removed the galley face and noticed that where the tank will sit in the floor of the galley, the sink drain hose is ...

Re: Rear Berth Question
Thanks everyone. Great ideas. My wife and I were just discussing possibilities and uses. Highlander, she loved the idea of the colored rubber sections that fit together. She said she should have thought of that first. She's a kindergarten teacher. She has them in her classroom. Also I see several of...

Re: Rear Berth Question
Thanks for the reply. That's what I was looking for. I was wondering if anyone changed the rear berth area around just for an organized storage area.
I had open heart surgery awhile back. For some reason now, the rear berth makes me claustrophobic too.

Rear Berth Question
I have been reading Chinook's Blog and others and notice they all use the rear berth for storage. Due to health issues my wife and I have started using the rear berth for storage too. I understand Chinook is a :macx: and we have a :macm: . Maybe the solution would be the same regardless of which mod...

Re: Now, what is THIS lunacy?
BOAT, Two questions: 1. Can you tell me where you purchased the SS ring for the counter top? It's the SS ring in the counter top that makes the install look so professional. 2. What size buckets did you use and where did you get them from? My wife and I have benn contemplating this project since we ...

Re: Attaching wires to fuse panel bus bar
The original panel in the :macm: really isn't that much better. I'm in the same situation of changing mine too. I'm replacing the stock 4 Switch Sea Dog with a 8 Switch Blue Sea Panel. I was going to chunk the original Sea Dog Panel, but got an idea from BOAT. I'm going to use it to specifically to ...

Re: EV-100 Auto Pilot Install
BOAT, First let me say that is a clean install. I'm an old (really old) aircraft mechanic that appreciates someone that has the ability to make an install look clean and professional. I ordered a new panel from Defender Saturday and was just going to scrap the old 4 switch panel. Now I know exactly ...

Re: EV-100 Auto Pilot Install
BOAT, This must be the longest running thread on here since it started in 2015. It is so full of practical Raymarine Autopilot install for our boats that I have saved it and referenced it many times. I have just completed my Raymarine Autopilot install but now I see I need to change out the D.C. Dis...
