Thanks very much

I have a 2006 Macgregor M and need to know what clearance is required when towing the boat under low bridges. I am also having a shed made and can design the door height to clear the boat with the mast set for towing You may ask why I don’t measure this ? – The boat is in the water until Easter Any ...

On an earlier post I asked the question about the Gap after having retrieved the boat on the trailer. Thanks everybody for your inputs. This last weekend I retrived the boat and did end up with some problems. As I had indicated before the boat is antifouled - but is clean I used washing up liquid on...

I have been looking at the picture of the Quick Release steering arm provided by Bluewater Yachts and wanted to get some feedback as to how this works Q1.

Will let you know how it goes

Another thought - How well should the petrol(gas) tank be vented?

My tank has a small screw for venting - I have just loosened this not removed it.

Unfortunately it will be 3 weeks before I can try this

What do you think?

Thanks for your help.

The problem occurs at 5500 rpm. Seems ok at 4000 rpm.

Another interesting problem is the last time I took the boat out I was able to get 5500 rpm but after a while was only able to get about 5100 rpm - don't know if this is related.
Sea conditions had not changed.
