Re: Forward Hatch, Gasket, and Latch Repair 26X
Wow. My forward hatch gasket is installed on the hatch and not in the groove for the hatch. The gasket lands on the interior lip. It has been that way since I purchased in in 2003. It should make align easy.

Re: 26M Alcohol Stove Top
Anybody make a replacement gasket for their stove? I was thinking of cutting a circle from an inner tube.
My 96 26X stove gasket was damaged about 10 years ago.

Mercury 60 HP impeller kit
2015 Mercury 60 ELPT: (s/n1C220792) Where do you purchase your water pump impeller kit from in the USA? Tried Mecury's site for the part numbers but could only find parts list for a jet drive not prop.(?)

Re: Glue for 26X head door edging
I was thinking of using Gorilla glue. I can attest to its holding power. I had to glue the heel back onto my dress shoes a few years ago when I was out of town on business. Purchase it from home depot and went back to the hotel. I lathered it onto the the rubber heel and used a hotel chair to hold i...

Re: Glue for 26X head door edging
Yup, that is what mine does. I usually shove it back into the slot and close the door too.

Re: 4 stroke Engine oil

New Loose foot mainsail
I have a 95 26X with the original rope foot mainsail which I intend to replace. Apparently Loose foot is the way to go but I am not sure how the loose foot mainsail tack attaches. My boom has a plain aluminum rod from inside the boom that connects to the mast with the inverted J bolt used for reefin...
