Re: First Weekend on Sol Mate for 2012

It's great to be back on the water again for the start of a new season. We spent the weekend on Lake Allatoona GA, enjoyed reuniting with some marina friends, did a little sailing and enjoyed being lulled to sleep in the evening listening to the halyards clink-clank against the mast. I'm not sure b...

Re: blue hull M hammond marina

I can put in April 1st but there are a few things I need to do before it hits the water. Just can't do them since my arm is in a cast from my wrist surgery. I'll probably get it out of storage, park it in the driveway and take the neighbors up on their offers to help get it ready. I may not be able...

Re: Mac trailer sway control

I'm not sure how far you have to tow, but you could just rend those Home Depot rental F250s to do it. They're something like $20/hr. Or a U-Haul. That's a consideration I've thought about also, but wouldn't they put any constraints if it was a MacGregor - and not one of their trailers? Or don't the...

Re: Mac trailer sway control

Sometimes (well - most of the time!) I'm accused of having my reach exceed my grasp. With the limitations of fixed retirement income, and the ever present desire to pursue other mods as well, I'm having to extend the lifetime of my little Ford Escape for towing my 2010 :macm: . That being said, I f...

Re: Marine Stereo Installation

Frank/Ray, How did you run the power to the spot above the mirror? Did you have to cross it over from the other side? Thanks, Jim Jim, My Perko switch is located on the Starboard side aft locker area, near the bottom of the cabin ladder. I ran the POWER wire (fused) forward through the starboard lo...

Re: Black hull Mac?

Could be in the works. One for sure already just done. Question is, how about; two tone deck, light tan, medium tan non-skid. Black hull with white stripes. A formal 26M! That is the most likley color choice for the new 70Mac. See your dealer. Mike Inmon Mike, how about a medium-dark Green Hull w/ ...

Re: X vs M

I believe there's a Mac dealership in Dubai, I think you're better off buying a new M than going through all that shipping & customs nonsense and besides that you should NEVER buy a boat without actually seeing it in person or even better sailing it to. And then there's the trailer issue with st...

Re: No Tow Beast! What to do?

Paul you can rent a small truck from Uhaul for <100 USD a day that you could easily use once a month for less cost than running a truck If its just season in season out, then this will be a huge win. You generally cant tow with a rental car from the usual agencies like Hertz Avis national since the...

Re: 12 Gallon tank

I have the 12 gallon Moellers tanks on both side, and I'm just not seeing this issue. There's no rub on either of my tanks between the right-angle adapter and the laserette lid. I've been full to the brim on my starboard side since new (six months) as i've yet to use a tank. In fact, my port tank i...
