Hello everyone. My name is robert and my wife and I have an '04 M "R Island ", we live in Neptune Bch and would be interested in joining. My brother in law also sails a Mac and is the owner of the new bar across the street from the fort. I am interested in any info. Thanks Robert

Well I used the manual release to lower the motor and get the boat home from her slip and found a rusty tilt/trim motor with a nice hole in the back side. The yamaha part is well over $300.00 so I will be buying an aftermarket motor from Arco for around $189.00. Hopefully I will be fixed and sailing...

I had not thought of it that way at the time but I guess it makes sense. When my wife and I ordered the boat from a dealer near Atlanta, Ga we had never purchased a boat before let alone over the phone. My Brother in law had purchased a 2002 mac x from this dealer and said it was great, we did not h...

We ordered the white but they sent a blue and we did not want to wait for the white to arrive. for the record our blue M is faster than my brother in laws white X.

I did check The travel support they are up.

Thank you I will check these out.

Good evening all. I have a problem and could use some advice if anyone can help. I have a 2003 Yamaha T60 4stroke that is stuck in the raised position. I keep the boat in the water and have not used it for several months. When I try to lower the motor I hear a clicking sound but no movement up or do...

I live in Neptune Beach outside of jacksonville and launch out of the Jax beach boat ramp. There is a marine patrol station at the ramp where I have frequently seen the officers power loading.

Hello, I have some video of a lightning bolt that was near my brother in laws boat. We were sailing off of Jax beach. I did not know I got ituntill i was watching the video at hom. It is posted on my photobucket page under rislandsail.

:macm: Good Morning we have an '04 mac that we purchased from Boating Atlanta. The experience was not very good. My wife and i live in Jacksonville Fl and decided to go there instead of Miami to save the shipping cost. I should mention that neither of us had any sailing experience. We mentioned this...

with a yamaha 60hp

I had the same problem and contacted the company. They told me the M works better with a 1/2" diameter slide instead of th 3/8". Which one do you have?

:macm: I appreciate your input. I am a new to sailing and my wife and I are still trying to find the best way to do things without making to many mistakes. This forum has been the best help we could ask for. I think I am going to get the Kicker since we do a fair share of motoring. We keep R ISLAND ...

Has anyone installed on on an M

Thank you for your response. This is the tone we are hearing. More info-- We have a four stroke 60 hp Yamaha. It's the first day back in the water (our boat slip) since all of our Florida hurricanes. The engine totally cut out when the rudder rope wrapped around the prop to lower unit connect area-w...
