Re: roller furling qestions
A marina friend built his own furler for his 26D. I can't remember how he did it exactly how. PVC tube and some kind of barrel. It seemed to work well for him. I don't have his contact info or I'd reach out to him. Did you search this forum? http://www.macgregorsailors.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=...

Re: So I just bought a Mac X....
Firstly, you need to check for slop in the steering. It should be easy to check to see how much travel the wheel turns before you see action from the linkage cable. If there is a lot, replace it ASAP. I believe stock steering is rack and pinion which some have found wear that causes slop and possibl...

Re: So I just bought a Mac X....
That much play in the steering is not normal. Could even be dangerous. I would resolve that first. As mentioned, these flat bottom boats will not steer without fins in the water. Especially if you are fighting sideways blade pressure. Well, they will steer under power with some speed. But not tight ...

Re: Unnamed 26X
The boat was being stored in a dirt parking lot owned by Old Man's Marina boat yard, very near Mount Sinai. I'm honestly not all that familiar with Long Island or NYC in general and was just following the GPS. Ahh, close to Port Jeff. We spent much time in Port Jeff. There was a sand hole there tha...

Re: Spotted in OKC: Fire Salvage Tattoo 26
Not a 22. The 22 didn't look like the 26 at all. And they call it a "TAHOE" :D http://tattooyachts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Beam-1024x381.jpg Makes you wonder what the story is on the fire. Always the worst nightmare at sea. The boat doesn't look burned to a crisp as in most fires. Just the in...

Re: New 26X owner, going to need a lot of help!
There is a metal retainer mounted to the floor of the cockpit, right to the starboard side of the helm console. It sticks up a few inches, and is angled forward slightly, and looks to be either a retainer for a tube, or maybe a pass through for controls, is this normal? I have a pass through tube i...

Re: Unnamed 26X
My Unnamed 26X was purchased on Long Island and it was a truly fun adventure, getting to hook up to the unknown trailer with my Z71 Suburban and then proceed to try and follow the previous owner through traffic to get back to his house to retrieve the boom and mainsail. He seriously drove with almo...

Re: Unnamed 26X
While traveling in Long Island, NY, I once was passed by a truck pulling a boat trailer. The name of the boat was MOM’S PIANO. Kind of makes you wonder what the story is behind that name :evil: :D Yes. Boat names and cryptic personalized license plates. I always want to know the back story. I agree...

Re: Road side ballast tank inspection by CO
Well, the INSIDE of the ballast tank has no gelcoat. It's raw glass and resin. Never saw wax like the hull gelcoat that came out of a mold. My experience with a fiberglass hot tub is that chlorine chemically "burns" organic matter. Some kind of chemical reaction with oxygen and the organic matter. I...

Re: What the heck is this MacGregor?
Looks like a 36 that they have measured wrong. And I don't think they made them in 2008.
WAAAAAY too much for that boat. There are a zillion other cats I would buy for that price before that one.

Nch'i-Wana means "The Big River" and is what the natives call the Columbia River. ....... Can anyone recommend a source for decals? If I get them ordered, I'm more likely to get them installed.

Re: Cheap Electronic Water Bladder Level Meter
Very cool. Home automation is addictive. I've done some stuff with Smartthings and WebCore. Since Samsung is getting out of the hub biz, I moved to Hubitat. I also did some toying with Arduino's and Pi's. Just got one of those Litter Robots which is awesome. The thing is smart and connected so I can...
