Re: 2004 M mast manufacturer

I had checked with Dwyer and they referred me to Blue Water Yachts. Blue Water has provided me with a quote for the OEM mast for my boat. They will predrill, wire and prep the mast for shipment. Cost of shipping to East Coast from Seattle is half the cost of the mast but at least it will be ready to...

2004 M mast manufacturer

I damaged the mast on my 2004 26M yesterday. I've been looking for the manufacturer of the mast but I have been unsuccessful. Does someone know who manufactured the mast for my year/make/model Macgregor? Thanks. Gilbert

Re: Raymarine SPX5 Autopilot /Fluxgate Compass problem

I have recently installed an X-5. It kept failing the "autolearn". Raymarine had me send it in. They upgraded the code and might have repaired something else (document was unclear). I reinstalled and tried "autolearn" - again it failed repeatedly. I hooked up a Garmin handheld GP...
