Sounds like it's metric.

Look for improperly installed, after market deck mounted hardware. If not installed right, water can get into the balsa core in the deck, and rot it. I found my dodger, and pump out fittings had issues, holes had been drilled and screws sealed with only silicone. West systems has very good online in...

Hello. I have a 1996 26X. It is in the water all season up here in Canada. I too had blisters, in the form of many small bumps. Looked like a rash, and it was spreading each season. At haul out I broke all the blisters, popped the heads off with a small chisel, and left it to dry all winter. In the ...

My tow rig is a 95 astro van, with 4.3L V6. Trailer sway is an issue, and so is the capacity of the tires. From what I have read on this site 4,000lbs seems to be the ball park GVW of the boat, trailer, and all the stuff in the boat plus 50hp Merc. That means I'm over already. I have the rig set up ...

Hello all. For those of you that have upgraded your trailers to dual axles, did it make a big difference in towing properties? I have a 96x and I find the current setup a bit of a white knuckle drive up the the North Channel each year. It tows fine as long as I don't get passed by a truck or large v...

Thanks Matt, just what I was looking for.

Thanks for the info. A lot of good stuff at that site Moe.

Hi all. I was wonder about the amp/hour ratings on batteries. Am I correct in thinking that a fully charged 200amp/hr battery with a load of, lets say 2amps, will supply power for 100hrs? Also, what should the voltage be of a fully charged battery, and one in need of a recharge? Is it worth while to...

How much are you looking to get for it?

Thanks for the laugh Eric. , I've been there as well. Anyone want to buy a slightly used sportpilot?

I have a Raytheon sportpilot on my 96x. The unit seams to opperate fine for the first few minutes when turned on, then after having made a few minor course corrections it starts to slip, you can hear the electric motor working but the wheel and course are unaltered. It slips most often when trying t...

When I reinstalled the dodger hardware I did drill larger holes, fill them with a mix of epoxy and high density filler, then drill proper size holes. How about the factory installed stuff? Was it done right? Do I need to remove it to check, and reseal? Or are they installed in solid glass areas? If ...

Sorry, I've been on holidays, sailing that is. My 26x is a 1996.

I just installed a new marine head, 15 gal holding tank, and through hull fitting to supply the flush water. Works great,

I just resealed the dodger harware installed on the deck. I found some areas to have the balsa core, and some to be soild fibre glass. This got me thinking, does anyone know where the balsa cored areas are located in the deck? I was tapping around on the deck to check for any delamination, and now I...
