Love it, just when you think you have all the answers someone comes up with a better mouse trap. Thanks again for the info.

Being confined to boating within the shores of a moderately sized lake, I'm drooling at your availabilty of changing scenic waterways. Great photos. But I do have a question, attached to the starboard forward lifeline attachment point is a dohicky to which is attached a line to your bimini. Might I ...

IXNEIGH, Can you suggest where in the Florioda Keys you can launch a MacX as well as leave your car and trailer for a month that is rerasonably safe?

Thank you all for your valuable inputs, this site is awsome.

Ixneigh, Your post is better than a AAA guide book. This is one post I'm going to print. Thank you for your first hand travelogue.

Russ, you hit on something that naver occured to me. I only considered prop walk when trying to dock. I will definetly try adjusting the trim tab to compensate for the turning. I'm smiling again Thanks

Given the lack of wind her in the midwest at this time of year, I'm doing alot of powering with the outboard instead of sailing. The situation is this, I can't seem to find a way of keeping the boat going in a straight line without constant feedback from the wheel. The boat always seems to want to t...

I also purchased the kit to do that, however it requires that I pound the opening almost closed with a hardwood d...

Many thanks for your replies. It's obvious to me now why they refer to the "ART" of mast tuning rather than just the setting up the mast. Time to go sailing with my "good enough" rig. Happy Fourth of July to everyone.

Before obtaing my LOOS guage, if the shrouds felt "good" off I went sailing. Life was good. Now following the suggestions by those more in the know, my life for the past 2 weeks has been hull. First I set the mast rake, then attempt to tighten the shrouds. Except I can't with the 2 tiny sc...

Just so happens I was looking for a mast gate for my X. The video on u-tube is for the the original model. This is the email for the inventor who makes them. They cost about $150 . He is still making them.

Found your previous post after some searching, just what I was looking for. Thanks

Over Easy,
Would you mind posting a wiring diagram, trying to visualize the connections is making my head spin. Is it possible by error that you turn on use as well as charge on the same battery? Therefore my request for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your contribution.

When I looked at the wind chart there has been an eastern component for at least a couple days, my first thought was leave on tues evening when things should be calmed down more. But noon seemed a good compromise. Since there is nothing set in stone, stick your nose into the gulf stream and see if i...

Pardon my ignorance but Really nice graph you have there. How can I get one?
