Thanks, Dave.

Thanks, Bill.

Thanks, Clair.

Leaving lifelines installed.

Intend to install netting to keep dog and kids onboard.

Any suggestions for netting? Type? Source?

Chicken wire is off the list

:?: Hope I am not breaking rules here. If so moderator delete!

Maine Sail has some great info for sailors on his site. I am posting his survey link here in hopes of getting him more data. Hope it works.

"Hi All,

I am working on a few articles for marine publications and would like to gather some ...

Looks good! Congrats!

Are the companion way boards cedar?

FWIW

do you have a bow roller and frame

Javafish,

FWIW...

From what I recall the Honda 9.9 4 stroke weighed 99 lbs from the beginning of production.

Perhaps someone else has more reliable info than my memory. LOL

Thanks ! Seems like every year now the waterline gets a little higher on this 'old boat' and she moves a little slower..I'd give up having birthdays, but I hear the side effects of quitting are drastic..

:wink: LOL... I have been 39 at each birthday for many years and don't intend to get any ...

Here is a method of bedding deck hardware...

:lol: Yes, Outbacker, good story. :lol:

This remedy is strictly for non-smokers.

Wasps, hornets (and rattlers) don't like gasoline fumes.

Toss three or four ounces of gasoline (do not light the gas) into the entrance hole they are using. Depart the area! They will leave and not return. This is ...

Have fun with the Hunter.

We enjoy the wide open cabin of ours.

I do feel the C26 is more stable.

Just my opinion...

Yes, the C26.

Single battery is in cockpit port laz. VHF is in cabin starboard side. All per PO(s).

List does not seem to bother me.

FWIW: Zypher's galley and DC wiring and cb panel are on port side. Shore power entrance, cb and AC wiring are on starboard side. All wiring installed by PO(s).

Be careful, Aerojet777, just like whiskey and women, there are different grades of butyl tape. Mainesail has the best stuff.

FWIW. PO sealed ports with silicone sealant. Looks sorta rough... but none of them leak!

Thanks, CraigWik,

Your trailer sounds identical to mine.

So I am going to assume that my boat and trailer weigh the same as yours weighs.

Don't know what the boat weighs, but I think 7400 pounds is stamped on the TRAILER data plate. Most of the data plate is illegible so I am guessing that is the max gross weight of boat and trailer.

What is the towing capacity of the tow vehicle?

Will you be towing on level roads or hilly terrain ...

Very nice

By the way, I'm replacing those miserable Phillips-head screws on the retaining ring with stainless 1/4-20x1" Allen-head cap screws.

thats what I did after having to use Vise-Grips to remove the originals.

Do you think it might have been for corrosion protection

Matt,

The mushroom bushings should not be fastened to the boat. The bushings on mine just fit in the recess the bottom of the hull and in the recess in the cockpit. It is my guess that they were designed to fit tightly in the recesses and the rudder shaft would rotate in them. Don't know for sure ...

My C26 rudder bearings (top and bottom) are just like yours.

The rubber hose and clamps are the same too.

Recently ordered one bushing from Idarudder.

Top mushroom bushing/bearing was well worn (eroded) from the weight of the rudder/tiller assy.

BTW

:lol: Do you have a good recipe for Zebra ...

Go w/230V AC/DC welder. You will not be happy w/120V.

Add circuit breakers to your service entrance box just as you would for an electric clothes dryer or an electric kitchen range.

I ran wiring to carport and can weld out in the open or under carport if I need shade. :lol:

I think most welders ...

Did not know Idasalor had the bushings.

Just ordered one.

I had been using an aluminum spacer to take up space on the worn bushing.

Thanks EE.

i would be up for a C26 flag....
