Hi Ixneigh! Sounds like a good plan! I’m sure that you’ve considered the all-up finished weight distributions into your plans to avoid making a built-in list to port or starboard. When we made our dual battery mod with both batteries on the port side in the aft galley seat cubbie our weight planning...

Hi All! In contemplating the TDY repairs to get things sufficiently operational I sort came up with either a potential seasonal fix or a brain fart.. :D The way a Teleflex works for (those that might not be familiar) is that the outer sheath has a metal coil tube that needs to stay rigidly static re...

Hi Ixneigh! I believe the galley on the Mac26M was designed to go into the boat after the hull and top deck shells were joined so it should be able to go back out the same way through the companionway. I also believe there were a couple of M galley mods that removed the galley from the boat to do th...

Hi Krum! Good question! Yes one could choose to set both of the switches to “All” while on shore power if one wanted to do that. In our setup that was done as a deliberate option should we ever find ourselves with two partially depleted batteries so that we could possibly get enough current with bot...

Hi LarsH! Like the others have done we modified Over Easy to a dual battery system with a twist. To help make the batteries last longer we have two Perko switches. Both have Off/battery-1/battery-2/All positions to select. Our twist is one Perko is our USE selector and the second is our CHARGE selec...

Hi Russ! Yeah this is a tough one! Sure wish it had shown up during the through pre-launch inspections prior to launching :cry: So yeah it appears to have been under the exterior sheath and wasn’t visible. Fribble! It is what it is and I gotta keep moving forward in my now typical inch-by-inch routi...

Hi All! Well we finally got launched this afternoon! Simple easy process and a great feeling to be out on the water again! We launch from Port Royal them cruised up the Beaufort River past the Beaufort Water Front Park then to Pigeon Point where we met an empty barge pusher coming down river. It was...

It is with a heavy heart that we share our condolences with those that mourn the passing of Pope Francis today. This is not about faith or politics but about appreciation for the life and passing of someone who was caring, kind, humble, courageous, intelligent, dedicated, articulate and compassionat...

Awww… and I wouldabetmoney on it coming from “Castaway” staring Tom Hanks!
(Which is one of my favorite movies… if I got dropped off there now I don’t think I’d leave… except of the self administered dental care )

Does it come with a patch kit (&a ladder) in case the sails get a puncture? :D :D :D :D No seriously… this is a really high tech multi-multi-million-dollar vessel! :o :o Sheeeze! This is really high tech! One of the three ‘crew/staff’ had better be a hands on electrical engineer/tech/mechanic/co...

Hi Larryd97! Sounds like there are a few things “cosmetic” and a few “like to haves” and a few “serious” items on your list. Might I suggest first getting a gallon of elbow grease if you decide to keep her as this makes the process go a lot smoother. Also engagement by your family before making a de...

Just invite a friend along whose full of hot air!
A bit of “huff and puff” and in no time at all those sails will be filled!

Yer not the only one in denial

Hi Rodie! I’m in agreement with Be Free on the interior routing he described. On our 2001 vintage Mac26X there was a removable plastic disc plug on the inside face of the back port side wall in the area aft of the seat that allowed us to access the wires below the stern light. There was some styrofo...

A rotary cutoff wheel tool maybe?
Can you share a picture of what you’re dealing with?
