I use a sail track stop now but have to go forward to take out a couple of slugs to reef. I was going to install a BWY single line reefing kit so that I could reef from the cockpit. The other option would be to leave a couple of slugs out of the track. The mast gates on the youtube videos allow for ...

Yes, That is what I am looking for but BWY mastgate is for 2008 and newer 26M according to their website. My boat is a 2003 26M. I think they must have changed the slot in the mast. I have a very early 26M I think it was the 12 one that Macgregor made.

I was looking at the cost of the ferry and was unsure if the posted price was one way or if I would be charged both ways. I don't have your experience sailing and an experienced friend said he wouldn't take hi...

I am installing a Raymarine evolution wheel pilot on my 26m. Can I power a Garmin 742xs chartplotter from the raymarine seatalk backbone using a seatalk to nmea 2000 adapter or does the chartplotter need its own power supply.

I am installing a Raymarine evolution wheelpilot on my 26M. I am also installing a Garmin 742Xs chart plotter. Can I power the chart plotter off of the seatalk backbone using a seatalk to nmea 2000 adapter or do I have to run a separate power supply to the chart plotter.
