I have a Yamaha 9.9 hp on my 2000 26X... It works great and is real quiet. Believe it or not, the high thrust 9.9 hp almost puts the 26X on a plane (without the water ballast). I was sailing today, on Lake Superior (Bayfield,WI. )... With the 9.9: the boat sails very well (Ok, boys, I sail this boa...

Now thats cute (the puppys)

Hi Mallardjusted

Could you please tell us about towing the PB, how was it it in choppy water?



Simon

Hello folks

On Monday I will be purchasing a 2004 Yamaha 9.9 with less than 20hrs use for 2000$ CAN.

Can anyone please give me a little feed back on this Yamaha OB?


Many thanks

Simon

Good demo video. Some how I get the feeling that system would work much better on a larger boat.....

But you know i've been thinking.... Maybe a person could build a OB lift divit?

What is the length of shaft on that 6hp o/b?

Thanks

so we added a Garhauer Marine hoist . This makes it much easier for my wife and myself to handle the motor as we remove it on all long passages. Tommy :macx: Thanks for that post. Tommy Looks like a good solution. Would you mind telling us a little about the install of the Garhauer Marine hoist. Do...

I have also been cosidering the C-Dory however the Mac seems to me a better option for me.

I wounder which is is more sea worthy?

S

Thanks Chip for that educated replie.

S

I enjoyed reading that note Chip

Which is better for the Mac?

#1. Replace the original factory axle with a 15" rim 6000# single axle assembly (electric brakes).

#2. Add a second 3500# axle.

Thanks

I have both ....

A 1986 diesel TLC and a 1978 chev propane crewcab

I like the idear of a roll up inflatable, seems this way you can have an 8' dingy (tender) on the Mac.

The main problem next, is the OB.... We need a safe way to load the OB from the Macs transom to the inflatable's transom with out dropping the OB in the water.

Thanks

S

Now I am starting to get it

Thanks for the replies....... And photos..

S

Thanks for great photos! Looks like work

Did you use your OB much on your Dingy? Or was to much of a problem getting it on and off?
