Re: Macgregorsailors site

FYI The main landing page doesn't display properly on my phone (android) in portrait orientation. I can only see the menu items for forum etc by turning the phone to landscape
Once in the forum it seems to be mobile friendly

Re: Where is everyone?

The number one thing that could be done to help this site is to give to someone one cares about it! Shameful what has transpired here. No excuses. The people that have been around a while are trying to hang in but its been probably a month or more since I visited last. New users give it a try and gi...

Re: In-hull transducer

Terminology might be confusing here but if you meant a transducer that requires a hole, I would do rather go with a transducer that shoots thru the hull I have one of these mounted on the transom. http://www.hawkeyeelectronics.com/depthtrax/ The plastic bracket keeps breaking so I am moving it insid...

Not to pile on but I couldn't agree more. The site should be turned over to someone who has an interest in keeping it an active and vibrant community

Re: Glue for 26X head door edging

Gorilla Glue worked for me. Trick with it is to dampen the surfaces slightly. It needs moisture to work best. It expands a lot so use sparingly

Re: Ballast leak

We had a crack in our ballast tank. In our case the water was collecting under the table/head area. The crack was on the inboard side of the port tank.

Re: Bimini Crossing

Many treads on this in the past.. Search function is pooched after the great crash of '17 so try a google search.
