Emergency motor shut off switch

Would not be able to recut longer later. :| Spreaders are cut and installed. Ordered new tips due to corrosion between stainless screws and aluminum tips. Should b...

Length of spreaders
One of my aluminum spreaders broke at the holder on my 26m. I drilled a new hole and reinstalled but that left the starboard side bar 1 inch shorter than the port side. I ordered some 316 stainless steel for replacements. But could only get 48 inch lengths. This is approximately 4 inches longer than...

Re: Bimini middle bow missing
Jimmt,
Iplan on sailing mostly. So probably try to how low I can get to miss the boom and how much head room that would leave. I usually saol with long sleeves and a uv protection hat so sailing with bimini down is fine. Hope the weather warms up.next week!

It is larger than I expected. Now I need figure out who made it. Easy Peezy ! It mybe taller also. With the ...

The replacement tubes, did the seller make one or happen to be selling the size you needed?

Re: Bimini middle bow missing
Gotta fix the profile. Had an X but had too many issues. Sold it and did not plan on another boat.Then I came across this M so back on the water again. In Mobile, Al. Previous owner doesn't know if the Bimini is original or not. When I found the middle bow missing I was hoping to find an inexpensive...

Re: Anchor locker Motor well drains - freeze proof them?
I put stainless steel mesh sink strainers upside down and mounted with 2 small stainless screws over the drain inlets. Large one for motor well and small one for anchor. This keeps debris out of the drains and helps with free flowing. Just wipe debris out as it buils up around the strainer. Not much...
