I don't get on here often, but I didn't seem to get a reply to my Swim Ladder problem.

I don't consider it safe to single hand without a ladder as I can't imagine a lad my age and size getting aboard any other way.

Yes, I do, since the early 1970's. Built a partial kit, flew, became a dealer for 3 models, bought a gyro kit manufacturing company, sold it and have 3 right now. 2 are for sale as I'm getting to old and slow to do everything I want to do. https://i.postimg.cc/s1vLRq9D/30TM.jpg Built this https://i....

I am late to this party. I bought and installed the EVO a few years ago. Sadly, I haven't sailed very much and can't add much to the conversation. EXCEPT I installed the fluxgate in the console. Maybe I misread the instructions, but I thought the Flux sensor had to be installed near or on the center...

I just went to check out the "most popular thread" and found out I started it. The thread seems to end in 2008 (except for this post) Am I missing something?

I'm late to the party here. I bought my Suzuki 90 from a dealer several years ago. The dealer said they had to install it to keep the warranty. I think my total price with install, prop wedges, etc was maybe $11,000. certainly an upgrade. I have a problem in that the swim ladder can not be used as i...

I had a mystery problem with the factory Tohatsu (Nissan) and wound up buying a Suzuki 90hp. I had it installed and the total price was around 10K. Heavier that the 50hp, certainly more power. Rendered the swim ladder inop. and haven't found a replacement. i might make it like the companionway steps...

Years ago the companionway hatch cover on my MAC 25 was slid forward a few inches all Winter. What a mess that was.
I used the Scrubbing bubbles with great success at that time. Thanks for the reminder.

They probably had an air bubble in the system?

As I understand, since a liquid is almost nearly in-compressible, any action is transmitted and actuated at the speed of sound through the fluid.
Think of auto brakes.

My hydraulic conversion made all the difference in the world.

My :macx: (1998) Suzuki DF90 was no fun to pilot up the mighty Calumet River (south Chicago) I had all I could do to keep it between the banks. I noticed the PO had changed the steering cable to the new, preferred, option. Being nice to Ohana after seasons of neglect, I decided to opt for hydraulic ...

We have a lot of pics under Mods. Look up water system under Mods search and then click on ris Did exactly as you said and saw the "trawler" pictures. I found a mast and sails from a 19 foot boat and seriously thought about a "short rig" to keep the sailing option and single han...

N.E. Wisc, good gyroplane description. They do have a motor (Rotax usually) and a prop to push them through the air. The rotor (above) acts like a wing that's flying 300 mph) making them easy, fun and safe to fly. I have been dreaming, building, and flying them since 1963. Walmart batteries? My loca...

The :macx:, the one that reeks of mildew, is mine. I have had a boat at the Hammond marina since they first opened. A Southcoast 22 Eclipse, MAC 25 and now my :macx: The much slower blue hulled :macm:is my neighbor (whom I seldom see). I believe he is from Chicago. Not too long ago there were (4) Ma...

Wow! that's ambitious.

We have a great loop that takes us about 70 miles and I have been planning that trip for years.

I'd love to see a picture (or many) of your 26X "trawler".

How long will this great loop take? ..... roughly, of course.

I found your ballast. It's in my hull

Seriously, every year, when I used to bring the boat home, It was still dribbling water out until I got to my house 45 minutes away.

The woe got worse. :( In my last post I mentioned that my friend said "the bilge was dry" (he even sopped up the traces with beach blankets). I never got back to my boat, until the time came to haul it out of the slip. Apparently, the water came back and sat motionless in the poorly ventil...
