I have owned my :macm: for 3 years and I thought I knew it well but this thread takes the cake :D
I have learnt about the tiny holes (which I didn't even knew I had!) and the Rudder Dam's.
I have learnt that others have done a tiller conversion that I have been considering (as a Hybrid implementation specific for my steering setup).
I have learnt that the steering arm and cable entry holes can be a real problem on steep ramps.
I have learnt the 4 rudder bracket holes/bolts are a general problem spot on the :macm:
And I have learnt that my bilge pump port is way higher on my :macm: than many others 8) ... not sure who I should thank for that. :D

Thanks guys... So much good information to keep me sailing and not sinking in 2019!

Hope the winds that you wish for are with you this year 8)
