Re: Replacement Hatch

I'm looking for the original hatch, not a wooden, nor Lexan, nor Plexiglass one. I know many of you have made improved custom hatches and have the original sitting in your garage. Any for sale?

Replacement Hatch

In March, I posted here seeking a 26M replacement hatch for mine that was greatly damaged in a theft. I got a lot of great advice on building a new one but this is an insurance claim and I'm still looking for someone to sell me their original factory hatch. Those of you who built a Plexiglass replac...

Re: Looking for 26M Companionway door

So, for those of you who made replacements, do you have a factory original for sale?

Thanks but I'm looking for the original factory hatch as I'm selling the boat and want it as stock as possible.

Looking for 26M Companionway door

My 26M was stolen this week from the Vancouver Rowing Club. The police recovered it but there is a lot of damage to the companionway door (not the top sliding hatch) - too much to repair so I'm looking for a replacement. Tatoo has transferred the 26 mold to Bluewater but they have no idea when they ...

Forestay Length

I had a trailering mishap (don't ask) that ripped my 2005 M forestay in half. I'm getting a replacement made locally but need to know the exact length. My old one was sufficiently mangled so I can't determine from the old pieces. I called the factory and they were going to check and call me back but...

Re: top speed Honda 50Hp

Don't buy the Solas prop. It does perform much better than the 3 blade stock prop that came with my BF50 however they all make a really LOUD annoying "singing" noise between c. 1500 and 2400 rpm. It is likely to drive you crazy. Apparently, you can take it to a prop shop and have the trail...

Re: US Boat Sailing in Canada

Only residents are required to possess a Pleasure Craft Operator Card - short term visitors are exempt in much the same way that you don't need a Canadian driver's licence if you're visiting.

Can you put an x on a m trailer?

I have a chance to lend my 2005 26M trailer to a trailerless 26x owner. I know the hulls are shaped somewhat differently but enough at the key contact points to make a difference?

Re: Honda BF50 shift cable failure

I picked up a pair of Volvo replacement cables and they come highly recommended. I'm told they'll last considerably long than the originals - Red Teleflex I believe. They sure do feel smoother with the teflon lining - worth the few extra bucks considering the high stress/flex application on the Mac....

Thanks Ray! Didn't think to search for throttle cable but essentially, they're the same.

Re: Honda BF50 shift cable failure

Before posting, I searched for Honda +shift cables and Honda +cable and Honda +shift and nothing appropriate came up so I proceeded.
