Hmmm, mine doesn't do that, I have a Hyde replacement main that is hooked to the gooseneck with a twist shackle. Mine is loose footed, but does have a slide at the foot of the tack as well as the clew.
Do you have a picture?

Again, stay tuned.... with any luck, the forum may have a new and more enhanced life. That's all I can say for now, b...

Re: '89 26D missing bulkhead
Thank you for the details. I just got the boat last weekend and have still been trying to clear out the wasps that I brought back along with it. I figured perhaps the PO took it out to save weight, possibly for racing, but that's only a guess. I was thinking of using that or a hard foamed PVC board...

Re: Newbie, retrieving a 26x
Ramp angle is key. I typically retrieve without blast since there is a side dock. Liquid rollers on the front v-bumper pull our on til the stern is barely floating to lift the bow and rewinch. Always ebrrake and chock the wheels.

Re: Good Cheap Generators: Harbor Freight & Ramsond Sinemate
I'm really looking for light. My power set up was designed to have the Honda e1000 on board to charge batteries in cloudy weather. Since I don't have it on board right now I've been using the engine but if I could find a generator easy enough to take in and out of the boat I'd use it at least a few...

Re: Chinook's Great Loop
Correct, Metro North is on the East Bank of the Hudson . West Bank is freight. Metro-North has rail service from Grand Central Station in mid-town Manhattan, up the east bank of the Hudson. Trains to Garrison, NY, directly across the river from West Point, take approx 1 hour and 10 minutes and cost ...

Re: Honda BF50 Stalling Under Load Today
Update on an old thread. I was having a similar stalling issue, It would run, (poorly) choked, but off choke it would stall at idle. Ran poorly at 3/4 throttle to limp around. New gas, filters, different tank, inspected lines, checked plugs and wires. Cleaned carbs as best I could on the boat ad in ...
