Ok so one of the Mod's I have been considering is adding a standard 12V Car Alarm System with motion detection & remote. I have talked to the mechanics at Car To... and they didn't seem to think it would be a problem......... So what do you think? Also doesn't your Marina have wireless TCPIP Vid...

Bought the 26x and someone removed the head door and walls, my wife would really like to have back for some reason:) If anyone knows where I could pick these up let me Know. Thanks Mark Hi Mark (nice name BTW) seeing nobody has responded I thought I try and point you to a solution. I suspect short ...

Mr. Mike Sir I am happy to read your posts and I can only say “Thank you”! :) :) :) FYI Terry he is a “Legion” (and I don’t say that lightly). Mike is probably the best “Adventurer” around here. It is well worth looking up his posts and hunting down his “Mods” to his Boat if you are really intereste...

Thanks Kevin NS Craig Catigale Graham and R Rae Good sound advice and the makings of a great check list. :) I am have the Bearings replaced this month and plan on towing the boat a bit before heading a cross Country. Having another set of bearings ready and waiting sounds like good advice. I wanted ...

Well that's 3 us MACHeads in Virginia anyway! :) My I ask what year is your boat? Mines a 97.5 (I believe it has some 98 features) So far I haven't had any steering issues but after my boat has set on the dry for the better part of a year I am sure I have one coming! :cry: How hard was it to install...

Mods, we don't need to sticking Mods! What stinking dive boat??? Ok this is what’s been done to my “TaTa” so far. The original PO added 2 house batteries to the starter wired in parallel with a Battery Charger and isolator hanging loose in the aft port seat locker with a single fuse box mounted in t...

K9 More please about this "dive ready sit-on-top kayak: Ocean Kayak - Malibu Two" I've been looking at this idea as an alternate! I still like the wet locker idea for storage of my gear on the boat but the swim platform idea has some problems and as mentioned above an inflatable w/kicker i...

Thank you K9Kampers, LaForce & Moe (Hmm what does that bring to mind). :D First isn’t making a MAC into something it wasn’t designed for, the MacGregor way? Kind of like you can get it in any color you want so long as it is black (white / blue)! As far as hurting the resale value by adding a thr...

Thanks Divecoz & K9Kampers Dive you beat me hands down on the Diving & MAC experience and I hope you will share the details of your trip. I agree with you on an inflatable with kicker being a must and already on the list. That is one of the reasons I almost think it would take 4 people leavi...

Hi All I know it sounds crazy but I used to Dive still have my own gear but wanted to learn to sail so I bought a MACX. It's stuck in Seattle for a few more months until the end of June but I have a co-worked who is a dive instructor who is also boat-less. He is into it big time and I would like to ...

Triple ditto for those of us stuck on one continent while our boat is on a different continent...or am I the only one :P I have read so many sailing books, magazines and websites that my head is about to explode with sailing info. Jim Oh yes I can relate. Try being on the right coast with your boat...

I am with Chinook. I looked into the towed idea last year and there is towed Watermaker made by Waterlog for about $2200 base. I liked the design mostly because it could be used at anchor, powered with an electric motor. But short of an extended cruise to the Caribbean I couldn’t see where larger wa...

Hi Chinook Hmm I thought I wanted a solid tank as the bladder I am replacing got nasty after 10 years. Still I will read the Mod you mentioned and see if it makes more since. Troy my Boatcando guy is a little hesitant about cutting into the boat and tends to want to make something fit as is. Some ho...

Thanks Kevin & Catigale I will add a torque wrench to my tool kit! Kevin I am going to print your road advice and tape it to the dash! 8) $2500 would be a much easier price to pay! Venture trailers list “tandem wheels” so I assume that would be the correct verbiage? I will look around on the net...

Thank you Night Sailor for the advice! I will forward on your description and hopefully he will be able to duplicate your success. :) Currently I have a Porta-potty and seen new ones with the exact same form but with a pump-out. I have thought about a more elaborate head but if I could pump what I h...
