On my :macx: I installed the Sealand 711, It fits perfect in the enclosure and best of all it uses fresh water from my pressure system, so no holes below the water line. It is setup up with a Y valve and a macerator pump, so we can use a pump out station or pump overboard where permitted, also it is...

I have posted on the mod page pictures and details of my hoist. Sorry couldn't figure out how to make it link here.

Mike, I just posted a picture of my stern rail mount on the Mac Mod Page. It works great. Our first motor weighed only 38 lbs. However our new motor tops the scale at 60lbs, so we added a Garhauer Marine hoist . This makes it much easier for my wife and myself to handle the motor as we remove it on ...

We have spent as long as six weeks on our old Mac 26s in the San Juan and Gulf islands. However we had a head and pressure water. We now have a 26x and this makes it much easier to be able to stand up and cook. We still spend four to five weeks each year in that area. We are planing four weeks this ...

Sounds like a great trip. We have been going there for the last seven years and and staying as long as two months on our Mac. We sling in at Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes. For parking you can use the long term parking at the marine for $3.00 per day or what we do is use Circus Storage (360-299-9168)...

Sorry Chip, but the sidewalls are stamped 2095 @65 lbs psi.
Tread is 2 ply steel + 2ply polyester, sidewall 2 ply polyester.

Chip, Your figures are right for load range C tires. The thing is your have to go to a manfacturer who builds a the tire in a load range D. This took some looking. This manfacturer deals mainly in truck tires and they happen to make 195 R 14 in load range D, which has worked out great.

Dimitri, I purchased the tires form a local tire shop that deals mostly with truck tires. I explained my problem and we went through their catalogs until we found the highest rated 14" tire that would fit my wheels. There wasn't any problem with the tires fitting under the fenders. The brand is...

Last year before we made our annual 1100 mile trip to the San Juans, we changed to 195 R 14, Load Range D Lt truck tire. They are rated at 2095 lbs @ 65 psi. The trailer handled great and the tires never got very hot. However when on long trips we always carry our extra gear in the back of the truck...

Correction to my previous post. It was Roscoe Bay where we swam and cleaned the bottom of the boat.

Duane, A couple of years ago we spent 2 months in the San Juan's and gulf islands on our Mac. With one month in the Desolation Sound area. Favoriates: Tenedos Bay, Refuge Cove, Grace Harbour and Rebecca Spit. We tend to look for places where we can take the dog ashore and go for a hike. We stayed on...
