Didn't Capt. Ron do it?

Went to local RV show yesterday. Arena Yachts displays the Mac there
so always go by to say hello to Jeff. Had not heard or missed the new
aluminum trailer for the M. Great improvement. To costly to convert
for x use.

Hi: I am the guy who lost two masts. Hence the name D'Master. A pretty blue M also lost a mast while at mooring in our bouy field at Zephyr Cove, Lake Tahoe. I would replace the bent mast as that is where both of mine broke leaving the bottom half standing. With genny and main in the water you will ...

I have had good luck with Baer Deck Brightener. It contains Oxalic
Acid. Thins one gallon to five. Put on with stiff deck brush and a little
scrub. Rinse with power washer if you have one.

Well the N. Calif. weather broke today so got to the job of changing the water pump. Problem encounted was the 6 flange bolts on lower unit. Two of the 6 snapped off. Hard to believe this could happen with a quarter inch drive with 8 inch bar. Broke two easy outs off trying to get them out. Any sugg...

I lost my Suzuki owners guide. Dealer replaced with a Johnson guide and as we know it is the same beast. Page 31 says "DO NOt use the flushing port on the starboard side of the gearcase. Using this fllushing port will restrict water supply to the engine, causing damage." There is no furthe...

Prepaired to change water pump on 2000 suzuki. For those of you who have done this or seen it done. What happens to the rod that controls the forward and reverse when the lower case is dropped? Can you drop the case without detaching the rod first? Intend to start project tomorrow when we are suppos...

The sail maker said the sock is not on during sailing, lunch ect.
Sun and luffing combination flex the sail in the vurnerable leach area.

Add the UV strip is my advice. Three years on my jib kept in a sock and
still had the leach fail. Doyle loft repaired and added UV strip for $60.
I think the sail holds a better shape with the three inch trailing edge with
leach line.

Mac replaced my two broken masts but I did have to haul the boat from
Tahoe to the dealer.

Marina Keys Lake Tahoe salvaged an X from under a dock. I saw it there last month when I was storing my X for the week. There was a new M at Zephyr Cove with the mast down in the mooring field. I dont use my bouy there for more than a day as I lost 2 masts on the X and one one my lido. Our rigging d...

I wondered what happened to him. Went on a stink boat trip to Alaska July 1 and when I got back he was gone. Must have been an interesting two weeks.

Sailed a local lake the last two days with 10mph winds. Did not try the new sail first day waiting for a reply on deployment from some of the experts on the board. No responce so we tryed it out yesterday. Man the power! We my helmsman and I have never had experence with balloning sails. Do you fly ...
