I am quite happy to help in any way I can. I must say that I am not a reliable helper until after June. After that I am pretty open an can commit. But if you asked me today to commit to a meeting next weekend, I would have to say "Maybe". I am working logistics for a new contract for my co...

Guys.......sorry for the radio silence the last few months. I have had some major changes in my work life. I now have additional duties that require more of my time. I do not see any light at the end of the tunnel until July. I wont even be able to attend a meeting let alone help plan. Sorry, but th...

Hey Guys, Neven meant to sound like grumbling, but as I re-read my post it does sound like grumbling. Musta been a lousy day at work that day. Sorry if I offended, but will still poke you often until you get one of your units in my hands !!!! I am a low tech sailor anyways. For now my auto-pilot is ...

I spent years flushing the salt out of the head of my 25HP evinrude. Like one othe poster said just tilt her up far enough to put the muffs on and let her run while your locking up. But then I started leaving my sails on with covers and I found that I as waiting for the motor to clear. So I stopped ...

I would be happy if we could just get an honest date. "Sometime in 2014" seems like a never ending carrot in front of the horse. I wish nothing but success to your product. I am very jealous and wish I could work under the relaxed circumstances that you do in my own business. You are fortu...

M...

When is production predicted to start? I too would be in line to buy as soon as possible

Still getting my first Macgregor 26X into shape and pulled the mast off the boat to replace the spreaders and tips. I was checking the wind direction gizmo trying to figure out how it works when i noticed that there is no cap on the top of the mast. Just an open tube. Is this right? Just seems that ...

Guys I am IN !! I am game for the meet to plan the meet. Maybe in late December. I would LOVE to come to Memphis and see Beale street. I am a big blues fan. I have to tell you though. I am pretty darn good at throwing a party. But I lack the experience to choose the sailing plan. I would need at lea...

Guys, I am still in for a meet !! Tenn river area is exactly what I am looking for. 1 April is too funny for a time. But I agree spring or after is a good time since it gives us plenty of ime for planning and scheduling time away from work. Agree that it is too late for this year as we have all made...

SO hey Tim !! It looks like the count of interested tenn, river gathering participants is up to 6 and counting. Perhaps we should start a new thread that lets the forum see this topic and post.

Guys,
New to the forum. WHERE IS THE CALANDER?/??

Thanks for all the great comments!! I was hoping for a spirited debate on the best auto pilot to buy for the mac with differing points of view and pros and cons for each model, But I guess what I am hearing is that there are really only a couple to choose from that suit the MAc, and that hydraulic i...

Thanks for the great info guys !!
I thought about Hydraulic steering, but seems like that is just something else for a battery drain right? Dont you need a pump to keep the system operational? If you lose power you lose steering? Am I right about that?

Thanks for the posts guys !! I will definately replace the impeller. Finally someone that has my motor and can tell me that there should be a stream out the back !! Thanks ! I find the whole auto pilot thing just so coonfusing !! It seems like you should be able to hook up an actuator to a GPS and b...
