Additional info for the thread:
I ran the boat (finally) with the Bigfoot 60 Pro. Light seas in the bay. It maxed out at just under 5200 RPM with a 14"-12 3 blade prop, empty boat, ballast full, 2 people. IDK the speed as I was focused on the engine.
Best Regards.

I did this mod several years ago, it has held up well. Sourced parts have likely changed, Maybe it will give you ideas.

Repower Mercury SEA PRO 60 prop question
Folks, I've found an engine I can buy for my 26X :macx: without waiting 5 months. The Mercury 60 Sea Pro, their work motor. I will be in salt water and storage on a slip and the robustness option has an appeal. The rub is that they reduce the top end to 5,500 RPM from the recreation motor's 6,000 RP...

Re: Restarting our 26X (Dragonfly) story
Hey folks, I wanted a to post a brief trip report for trailering the Macgregor 26x :macx: to Mexico. To review, I decided a while ago to stand down from my robust aviation vice :evil: (not a hobby). The ability to read a book anchored under the cliffs in Canyon Lake, Arizona coupled with an occasion...

Re: 26x Transom and Mercury 60hp big foot 2.33 question
Thanks for the reply 8) . I've scraped the forum and the the teleflex statement is sound. Further, depending on the engine I've found that 12' to 15' is common for all engine installations, not sure of mine though. 13' or 4 meters may be good. I will advise how it turns out for future queries. :macx:

Re: 26x Transom and Mercury 60hp big foot 2.33 question
The throttle cables (best guess) appear to be 4 meters long. Does that correspond for anyone?

26x Transom and Mercury 60hp big foot 2.33 question
Folks I have my Macgregor 26X :macx: in Puerto Vallarta now and I am re-engining it with either a Mercury 60 Bigfoot, or a Mercury 60 Sea Pro. Both have the 2.33 gear drive and swing the larger 14"prop. Per this site it seems a sound choice as that is what they maintain well here. My dealer has...

Re: 26x New Fuel Tank Selection ???
The older Moellers are 10" high, the newer ones 2" more (I believe). I read that one owner made a hatch of the space above the tank so they could just drop it in.
I would be glad to be wrong!

Re: 26x New Fuel Tank Selection ???
I am under the impression that the 17 gallon aluminum tanks are for a 26M , Am I wrong? Having to buy an M to get the tanks makes the cost of acquisition higher than planned!

26x New Fuel Tank Selection ???
Folks, I've looked all over this and other sites. My old Moeller fuel tanks are tired out. While I will refurb the seals for now, I can't find a ready replacement, as the newest ones are too tall (as you all know). How have you folks solved this? I am guessing that there is an unsatisfactory quick f...
