Foredeck COMPLETED! =D
Well, Been working my brains out to get our baby ready for our trip... I'm now having to wake up early to get on board to get as much work done as possible before the temps get up to 100! Finally completed our new foredeck arrangement (I'll let photos speak for themselves: Photo bucket link: http://...

It's been raining here and the deck was wet this weekend so I opted to wait until next weekend to raise the mast (slippery/safety). I did drill and install a masthead block for an adjustable topping lift (I want to make sure the boom doesn't scratch our Bimini mounted flex-solar panels.) Found our W...

Lessons learned... and PATIENCE! ;)
Well, I FINALLY got everything hooked up! (Kind of) (After two minor meltdowns and small fires... really...) The two wires that I and the previous owner thought were positive, turned out to be negative... I spent about 8 hours researching how to hook up a battery selector switch (VERY DIFFERENT when...

DC Electrical nightmare! =O
Hello all, Continuing to refit our C26 for an upcoming month long cruise in the San Juan Islands. I installed a nice 120v system (double pole circuit breaker with GFCI outlet leading to two cabin receptacles.) I started on our 12v system and found a nightmare of wires (Taped up and unrecognizable le...

Excellent! Thank you! I decided NOT to cut my cabin sole as I can reach from behind to cut through bulkhead there and insert pump... Now I know what's waiting for me there. Any idea what brand/MODEL pump was used? Or dimensions (width) there? My bilge had never been wet and we're installing the manu...

Hi Guys, It's taking all I've got to post right now (I didn't want anyone thinking I wasn't appreciative. I've been sick (first cold, then stomach flu and now a bed sore that turned into an abscess (Been in bed for over two weeks.) The cold is subsiding, the stomach issue may have also been the pass...

Thanks Scott, It would be fabulous to make arrangements to meet you up there! If you'd like you can PM me with your contact info and/or I can PM you when we get closer and have our dates finalized.

Thank you for the details. Actually I have a rigid/plastic tank (beveled underneath to follow the hull). I might be able to move it back a little to allow the bilge pump to fit just in front of it, but I'm really going to have to wait until I can get up there and inspect more closely. (I don't remem...

Thank you! I went back there last week, but didn't think about bilge pumps at the time. We have a water tank that takes up that area under the rear berth... I'll have to go back up and check the area out more thoroughly. Almost certain there's no room under the tank... I thought about reaching forwa...

Hi Scott, We'd love to meet you! We'll have some questions for you (thinking you're familiar with the islands): We're hoping to arrive second week in July and stay through the second week in August. as we get closer, maybe we can exchange phone numbers and I can pick your brain? I cruised the island...

Bilge access on a '79 26'?
Hello all... It's been a while for us, but we are back to working on our boat. Setting it up for more serious cruising... Just got back from Portland and purchased a 25# Mantus (Yes, a little bit of an over-kill, but although we're trailering, we will be "out there". Also new anchor line a...

I probably have no reason to complain as rogue valley Oregon is considered mild by most winterized people maybe a few inches of snow a few days out of the winter... But for me, my childhood was spent in the Florida Keys and up until 14 years ago, I lived in southern California and could sail year ro...

Hi John, I will be getting the transmission cooler installed before our next towing trip. I checked my notes when I was trying to determine if our truck could tow our boat. It did come with the lower differential gears (checked with the factory using VIM and Production #s... It also does have the op...
