Re: Need Prop Help for 02' Honda 50 on 02' 26X

Do you know that the Michigan prop requires a hub insert to fit the Honda? I have one and will try to find the paper work. Mine is a 11 1/4X10. I don't get 18mph, more like 14-15, but I'm heavy. Ken My michigan prop came with the hub insert permanently mounted inside the prop. you can't remove it.

Re: Need Prop Help for 02' Honda 50 on 02' 26X

Maybe I was overestimating how fast I was going at first because it seems as though 15 knots is as fast as anyone goes on the 26x with the honda 50 OB. Surely someone is going 24mph like Macgregor said it would. What? The boat has to be empty and derigged to do that? Damn, I'll never derig all that ...

Need Prop Help for 02' Honda 50 on 02' 26X

I read a few posts about props and didn't see one that answered my questions. If you have a Mac26x with a Honda 50HP please tell me how fast you are going. We got this boat a month ago, took it out and were surprised at how fast we were going. 30 Seconds later I hit a shallow spot and destroyed the ...

Re: What's the CE classification for a MacGregor 26M sailboat?

Yeah no crap. I'd hate to have government telling me what I can and can't do with my boat. But then again, our government is trying to do that now with every other part of our lives. If the power brokers say the Swine Flu vaccine is mandatory me and the mac 26x will sail as far offshore as needed wi...

Re: Poor Handeling in my X, any ideas?

I believe that problem was rectified by the 2002x because my boat doesn't do that. It will also motor 18mph or faster depending on conditions with the Honda 50 with 10 pitch prop (11x 3/4). I know that there were design changes in the ballast tank from your boat to mine and that could affect the cen...

Ballast not draining completetly under power?

Hey Everyone! I'm a new Macgregor 26 :macx: owner. I sold my fixed keel ericson 29 sloop and found a spotless, loaded with every option 2002 26X with the Honda 50 OB. I just sailed it 45 Miles from Destin FL to Pensacola FL and back and I'm impressed. Question, I don't think the ballast is draining ...
