Re: SE MacGregor Get Together in 2010?

Come on down! As I mentioned we have 1,200 miles of shoreline -- perfect for gunkholing! There is a nice place particularly, Bussey Point WIlderness Area, about 20 miles of trails with a horse trail that circles the peninsula for about 12.5 miles. It's flat to be sure but a nice ride. The water leve...

6amp alternator

bought a 1991 M26c with a 9.9 Honda with a 6amp alt. Still trying to get the paperwork to see what features and all both have. Have had her out for long weekends already, the battery is working fine, I normally just plug in a trickle charger with a 'auto-stop' on it the day before we leave. At what ...

Re: what size drain plug?

the plug I purchased doesn't have that capability of turning to expand for a tighter fit. Will go back and get an adjustable one, also may look at getting a 1.25" plug

thanks

1991 M26s, bought a standard drain plug to replace the old one -- it's just a bit too small? What the heck size works? I thought one size fits all??

keeping pop top up

just bought an 1991 M26s -- no hardware for keeping the pop top up. I had a 1994 for several years and believe it had a thumb screw and some such.

Ideas, suggestions? Called Macgregor and they said they had none, gave me a number to call, didn't work there either.

Thanks
