Yes, I can scan it and post a link to the PDF.

Thanks,

Hi all,

I have an original MacGregor 26X pamphlet with information about the boat, factory, etc. Many nice color pictures and specs on the boat.

First person to PM me with their address, will get it.

The Classified Ads menu doesn't show up for me in Firefox (latest version). It does appear in Internet Explorer, however. It appears that the menu is implemented as a PNG image file with an HTML image map to the different links (i.e., View Ads, Post Ad, etc). My initial thought is that you might hav...

Great post, Barnacle Jim. Although I recently sold my MacGregor 26X to a guy up in Calgary, I thoroughly enjoyed owning "Baja Riha" from the start. I first heard of MacGregor sailboats in an issue of SAIL Magazine (which is not necessarily "friendly" to these boats) and had the o...

I didn't want to steal another guys thread about buying a new MacGregor 26X but he mentioned that it was a pain to search Craigslist for boats. Here's a way to search all of the Craigslist sites for MacGregors or anything, for that matter, using Google. Just put in your search term and follow it by ...

I also purchased my 2000 26X in 2003 from Barry at H&S Yacht Sales in Newport Beach. He told me to go on over to the factory to get a tour. I think I just showed up unannounced and Bill was gracious enough to give me a tour of the factory. I remember seeing the 65 plug on the roof of a building ...

Well, taking the Garmin 18 (non HD) radar as an example: The manual states that it consumes 33.5W of power with an input voltage ranging between 10.5-35V. So, taking 12V as the nominal input voltage says that it will draw 2.8A of current. Let's say that the system is on for 12 hours at night. If you...

That looks like just the radome for the Humminbird unit. Then you need the mount, head unit, special Ethernet switch and cables... all that will put you well over $3,000...

What you need is a tablet, laptop or monitor with one of these sunlight readable displays: http://www.pixelqi.com/products The 10" version is already available for a reasonable price and can be fitted into select laptops. They are supposedly developing a 7" version. They talk about tablets...

I've done some cursory searches on Google for the same problem you're facing and it seems like other DF-50 owners have similar problems with their engines. Based on my experience where the high pressure fuel pump did stop working on me after sitting for about one year, I'd say that is your problem. ...

Doing what Catigale suggests might be a good test to perform prior to ripping apart your engine. The parts diagram shows the high pressure fuel pump as part of the fuel vapor separator and there is a power/control connector but I can't remember if it's easily accessible or how many wires go to it. Y...

I had the exact same symptoms on my 2000 Suzuki DF-50 engine. After a long period of sitting, the gas had turned bad and the engine would not run. After making sure I had spark and fuel flow through the low pressure fuel pump, I focused on the high pressure pump. Long story short, the high pressure ...

Here's one for $7,200: http://sailingtexas.com/201101/smacgregor19109.html

It's not my boat, btw. I'm not trying to plug my ad!

I had to use a puller when I replaced the original rack and pinion steering with the Uflex planetary gear system. I also had to use a hack saw to get the old system out of the pedestal.
