Rebuilding Swim Platform
I have a swim ladder with a small platform (15" x 17"). To access the boat from the water you climb the ladder, stand on the platform and step onto the lazarette. The platform consists of 3 layers of dilapidated white plastic cutting boards. Very unsightly. I want to replace with wood. Tea...

Re: Dedicated Battery for Electric Start Outboard
Thanks all. I like the idea of the "combiner" for a future project.
I'm aware of the odd battery post styles on the smaller batteries and I'm searching for a suitable setup... possibly using an adapter of some sort.
I'll repost when I find the solution.

Dedicated Battery for Electric Start Outboard
Looking for advice on a dedicated starter battery for my 9.8 Tohatsu. I currently use a single battery for the "house" and to start the outboard. I would like to buy and install a "smaller" dedicated starter battery. Perhaps an atv battery... Be nice to have smaller footprint and...

Re: Sailboat owner wannabe here.
Not sure about the ballast/keel situation of the 21 but I have a 26d and trailering it out of the water and up the ramp with 1200 lbs of water ballast might be more than the Odyssey can handle. Light enough when empty but no way to empty that tank until you have it out of the water.

Re: Are there Lake Powell People on this Site?
I live a few hours south of Powell and would be interested in participating. My family has done a fair amount of camping and power boating there. Recently acquired an '88 26D and after a hull trip to Lake Pleasant (110 degree Saturday afternoon with dozens of power boaters blasting music on their st...

Motor on bracket while trailering
Hello Everyone. Finished my first sail with my "new" '88 26D yesterday. First time for everything; make-ready lane, launching, sail, loading, etc. I have a 1990 6hp Evinrude (heavy). I transported it lying down in the back of my truck, attached it to the motor bracket in the make ready lan...

'88 26D Rudder Assembley
I need help with the "kickup rudder assembly" on my boat. I've attached a pic showing the 1/4" line setup but I don't think it's correct. I've searched for an illustration showing the correct rigging but can't find anything. Can someone provide a photo for me to mimic? https://i.posti...

Re: Porta Potti Replacement
Thanks everyone. The more I searched the smarter I got. I did find Dometic seems to have several newer potti's that should fit. Oddly enough most are out of stock or backordered or delayed in some manner. I suppose all virus related issues in the factories. I have a "shakedown" cruise sche...

Porta Potti Replacement
Hello Everyone. My name is Steve and I just purchased an '88 26d. One of the many things I want to replace/upgrade is the existing porta potti (bellows has deteriorated and just for GP would like to have a new one to use). The label on the front says "Sani Potti II" and there are side brac...
