Re: A New Journey Begins for OverEasy - 2023/2024

Hi All! The surgery went a bit long and “day surgery “ turned into an “over-nite” sleep over. :( :o And here I didn’t bring PJs! So embarrassing :| ! Apparently the BP tanked post operatively. Apparently that’s not part of the normal script. Doctors appear to not like improv !!! Haha > no… Guess tha...

Re: A New Journey Begins for OverEasy - 2023/2024

Hi All! Finally back on the Over Easy improved driveway and parking project now that the new house heating system is up and running (like a champ!) Dug out what was supposed to be a simple rotten stump…. Things are never as simple as they appear to be it seems. After digging down about 3-to-4 feet I...

Re: A New Journey Begins for OverEasy - 2023/2024

Hi Russ! I like that electronic anode! Didn’t know they were even available. That is a great mod idea! Yes those anodes are often overlooked, and even when they are looked at can be a pain to get them out for replacement as you described. One of the upsides of having a “closed loop” system with the ...

Re: Relocate head compartment

Hi Ixneigh! Personally I’ve like the idea of a ‘balanced’ boat… Not so much emphasis just on sailing aspects but also on usability, survivability, maintainability and livability. Personally we think Rodger did an excellent design with both the Mac26X and Mac26M on all these aspects within the size a...

Re: A New Journey Begins for OverEasy - 2023/2024

Hi Russ! Yes, those Sharkbite Max fittings are fantastic! A real game changer! 8) I’ve been using them professionally and on personal projects since they came out. Industrially there are several types that are also great for the 1/2” and less diameter tubing like those made by SMC but Sharkbite did ...

Hi All! Finally finished the new heating and domestic hot water system! Only thing left is making the vents in the laundry room door so it gets sufficient air & then the cleanup of tools and residual parts that can be returned to the store. First shower with unlimited hot water was fantastic! Gl...

Re: New Macgregor owners wake up on their new project boat

Hi Tuxonpup! Congratulations and Welcome! As others have already mentioned the aft ballast gate is a basic RV waste gate. You can generally take them apart and replace the seals if you have a mind to… but for about the same cost you can replace the entire valve with a nice clean new one…There are ev...

Re: A New Journey Begins for OverEasy - 2023/2024

Hi All! Here are some nearly finished photos of the new hydronic heating system I’ve been working on for house. The system not only provides heat for the house but also the on-demand “tankless” domestic hot water (DHW) through an isolation heat exchanger. Another feature of the system is that it has...

Hi All! Slowly making progress on the ‘Northern To-Do List’… A) It’s nearing the end of October and so far the infamously long over due emptying of the storage lockers has been completed ✔️ ——> Never could have gotten it done without the help of my younger daughter who took time out of her plans for...

Re: Relocate head compartment

Hi Ixneigh! Nice work! Getting something done the first time at all is always a challenge! :) :wink: Finding better/easier is always a 20/20 hindsight by-product of the first time :D :) and sometimes the second time too! :D :) That’s why good a experienced R&D Engineer does prototypes (Alphas an...

Re: Comfort onboard

Hi Herschel! I got it for the Admiral when she is a passenger in the dinghy What a great idea! That has got to be one of the nicest seats I’ve ever seen in a dingy! We haven’t used our dingy much as the seating aspect has been a point of concern for us. (At least tippy canoes generally have firm sea...

Hi Ixneigh! Just think of how using the eraser is gonna buff up your arms! A couple days of that and you’ll be ready for the arm wrestling championship! :D :D (I’d have to suspend it with a spring ‘cause I ain’t gonna even start carrying that thing around, never mind attempting to use it! 8) 8) ) Th...
