Tiller and rudder Q's

Hey all! How is everyone's summer going? Drought here in Florida my new slip in Lake Harris has me turning mud each trip out. This lake sits in the center of the state on the ridge at 300 ft above sea level. We call it the mountains here. Because of this, the wind is great on this lake. Saturday i w...

Well this seems like an easy fix for both items. I have no clue what these items are worth. Pm me with some ideas on prices. I didn't mean for this to be a for sale ad, so i hope I am not breaking any rules. Thanks.

Questions after a few moths of ownership

A few Q's about the boat. My motor mount is dangerously undersized for the 10 hp honda four stroke. I am looking at a model in bass pro rated for a 25hp 2 stoke. The question is does the sailboat have any backing between the hulls like a power boat? There is a slanted piece of wood there now. I gues...

Charts

I found this while googling. It is a downloadable chart site in normal image formats that anyone can see. I made a flawless large format 24x36 print off one for the keys trip and it is just like you would buy in the store. Only the south though. http://xpda.com/nauticalcharts/

Thanks for all the nice compliments. I just wanted to get the pics up so everyone could see them. We went to John Penekamp coral reef state park. We reserved a slip for 3 days at $22 a day. Included water and power. The ramp was fine but the slips have no parallel docks so boarding was from the bow....

Almost ready for the keys.

Got a slip for a few days at John Pennekamp coral reef state park. Been working to get the boat ready. Picked up a cruise air a/c unit off craigs list for the dock. The hatch is bigger than the canvas bag so I has to make a piece out of plywood to cover some of the hatch. I also found a nylon "...

Thanks that makes allot of sense. Yes it is a Conventional spinnaker, I thought it was called symmetrical, sorry. The down haul to keep from lifting is what I am missing I guess. I'll check that site for some vids. Thanks.

Ok where does the ring on the pole hook too? The top of the mast via some non existent line? I guess i could unhook that top line from the boom and use it since the main will hold it up.

The flanges are tracked to be here today. I will leave the hubs off so if the flanges fit I can just weld them up and at least that will be done.

I got the stuff from Northern, then inner bearing on the drums is fine but the outer is way to big. This sucks because I am going to the keys tomorrow. I will tackle this when I get back. I guess our trailers are different. Thanks.

Thanks again Mark for the Pn#'s. I ordered the brakes and drums and found a 1 3/4" brake flange from some online trailer place. The brake parts are shipping for free to my local northern in Orlando. I will keep the board posted with how it turns out after i weld it up. Thnaks again.
