Your method of forestay attachment to the deck
Hi, Haven't been here for a while. This post pertains to my 1985 Mac 25. Question: Are any forum members using a C.S. Johnson Quick Release Lever to secure the deck end of their forestay? If so, what model/size is being used? I currently have a turnbuckle fitting. Do I need to modify that arrangemen...

Re: Help with ID of this part from 85 Mac 25
Hey, y'all! Thanks for the input re: the "mystery" strap from my '85 Mac 25. The photos you posted were just the ticket! Today I returned the part to its assigned duty. It secures to the fwd side of the after head bulkhead and the short arm is bolted to the inside of the keel trunk housing...

Help with ID of this part from 85 Mac 25
See attached pix. This stainless steel strap is from my 1985 Mac 25. I have a pre-removal picture which shows the partial view but not where the short arm attaches. This is one of those cases where I neglected to take a more thorough pic before removal. (My bad!) It came from the lower, in-board are...

Re: Mac 25 Boom end fittings pictures
I appreciate the reply, NiceAft. At the moment the good folks at BW Yachts are on holiday. What I need is a close up of the fittings at both ends of the boom.

Mac 25 interior pics & misc questions
To those with a Mac 25: Hi, I have a 1985 model which I have been taking much too long to refurb. I'm reinstalling new interior panels and have a question about how some are mounted. Specifically, might you have...or might you take for me...pics of the cabin looking aft at the companionway. I'd like...

Traveler, battery & bilge pump placement on a 1985 Mac 25
I want to install a traveler on my '85 Mac 25. Is there anyone who might share their experience with me as to location and brand of system? Second, is there a consensus as to best location for the AGM batteries (two...one house and one starter. I have a Suzuki 9.9 HP which weighs about 120 lb.) Thir...

Outboard engine wiring and fuel line routing--Mac 25
My 1985 Mac 25 has a 9.9 HP Suzuki engine. What is the best way to route the electrical cables and fuel line through the transom?
Also how do I connect the engine's alternator output to my battery/charging system?
Thanks!

Hatch replacement on an '85 Mac 25
Have any of you had experience replacing the forward stock deck hatch with one that has a transparent lid? If so what brand was used and what steps were needed to adapt it to the Mac 25 deck (for example adjusting the installed hatch frame for deck camber and depth)? Thanks in advance for your colle...

Poptop bow mounting to underside of top--1985 MAC 25
HELP! Does anyone know of a source for the "fairlead-like" items that fit around the 1 inch diameter aluminum support bows and mount them to the underside of the poptop. I've spoken with Todd at BW Yachts. They don't carry them nor did he have a source. Perhaps someone who is parting out a...

Trailer tire size
Hi!
Can anyone tell me how much lower my trailer would sit if I reduced the tire size from 15 inch to 14 inch? I don't think that it's a simple one inch difference.
Thanks!
