headstay or sidestays turnbuckles for M

:macm: Which turnbuckle would work for sidestays (shrouds) instead of factory hardware on 26M? Or it's better to add it to the headstay?

Re: How to re-bed the deck cleats?

Noticed both the stbd and port midship deck cleats are a little loose on the :mac19: . It also looks like the PO used red RTV to bed them. How the heck do I get at the bolts on the bottom side to remove, clean and re-bed them?! Looks like the inner hull liner covers them up! I'm confuzzled :| Could...

Transom shower location

Thinking of installing a flush transom shower in this spot on m26. Did anyone do it? Afraid of drilling a huge hole. What's inside?

Re: Raymarine EV 100 Wheel Pilot Noise

Hi everyone! Quick questions for those who had experience with the raymarine evolution 100 wheel. Does the current model still make a loud noise while operating? Well, it depends on your definition of loud. Then, it depends on what's moving the boat. According to my definition of loud: with the mot...

How does autobuddy connects to the ap?

In my opinion, BOAT has one of the most clever AP implementations and one day I plan on using his idea.

Re: Best autopilot for 26M

Thanks, Ray, I did read all of the posts by BOAT. The donut/bagel doesn't bother me as much as the simplicity of operation. I care more about User Experience rather than cosmetics. When I finished reading your post, “Similar Topics” appear under it. Did you read any of those in your research. BOAT a...

Daggerboard silencer

Went overnighting and any wake makes daggerboard bounce inside, making a loud noise all night. Hard to sleep - have to find a solution. Anyone found a way to use some type of inflatable insert or some other way to silence it?
