you can unscrew the center bolt

quick fix for me was to pull the boat and epoxy..

Looking for the Rods that came with my boat and were tossed. Still have the hardware mounted and would like to use the same (OEM??)

The "Blisters" are not raised, just a wet white puss emitting through the bottom paint. Like a zit.

Closer look at the oozing brown stuff.

I was thinking of splashing my boat this weekend but after further examination, I see some items that need attention (or not). WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Are these actually blisters? Looks like boat acne:) https://goo.gl/photos/2Bytj5TyVW3PWZVN8 And of course the much discussed Mast Step problem with radiat...

Fixed the BAD links:)

Additional update, any reason this wouldn't work? $4 fix.

Just to update, here's the offending part. Now where can I get one of these!!!!!

EE, That would have been the the obvious solution, I instead created a makeshift spreader with a notched 2" X 4" and wedged it between the mast and the center shroud which restored the lost tension. Thinking I'll just pull the boat and use the mast crane to inspect and repair with the mast down. ERR...

jeremyh,

The spreaders are much different on the 26 vs 22.On the 26, the for and aft shrouds attach to the spreader base. On the 22 those shrouds are directly attached to the mast.

It appears that the spreaders are pinned to a post that goes through the mast. Need to fab a new one and need the specs. Any suggestions on doing this without dropping the mast would be helpful. Thinking a tall ladder would not be stable after loosening the shrouds. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com...

Need a mainsail for my C26. My original is blown, Looking for new or used.

Thanks

So the ring with the three set screws should slide off the rudder post and drop my rudder? Seems to be quite stuck. Might need a bigger hammer.

or am I missing something?

Thinking that I will go with the single hole at this point. Not sure of the condition of the bushing as I have not taken off the assembly yet and fear that I might not be able to cut out a hole that's not precise enough/sloppy. I am wondering about how the single hole method should be installed. Wha...

Any suggestions on how I might straighten out that bent cheek plate?

Not hollow, just full of rotten wood. https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/108859878263715224900/albums/5897560273356746209 Old rudder has 7 bolts and a fist size hole in the center. The new rudder only appears to utilize a single center bolt. Bent one of the cheek plates. Will need to get that bent b...

ordered new rudder. 5-7 days shipping.

Rivercruiser, Thanks for the link. Pictures should now be viewable.

Steve.

My C26 was backed into some shallow water and the rudder snapped.

Looking for advice for repair/replacement.

Thanks in advance

I ordered my motor with electric Trim. I can stop raise lower at any point.

Mine tilts up enough to get the prop out of the water on my C26. I just added a 3\4 spacer board on the outside of the mount.

Just ordered the same. Some have added backing, extending the motor outward. Hoping that will work with this motor on my 26.

I have a Sailor 250 that I never got to run. Decided it was time to upgrade and start having FUN.

Anyone care to comment on cable lenght needed for a C26, connected to the OEM controls. Just bought a new Tohotsu and need to get the cables ordered. Here is a pic of my controls from when I bought the boat. I also have an old Chrysler control box that I could use for parts/fabrication? Looks like a...

Mail sail cover (sock) for my C26, Looking for new/used/source.

Thanks

I have a sailor 250 that will not run. I would pay what I paid for my current 250. which is $250.

So I buy the 9.8 Tohatsu. What would be the quickest way to adapt my OE motor mount to handle this motor and tilt function.

Looking to get a "NEW" motor. Any recommendation for my C26? Currently have a Sailor 250 without spark and a Force 5 that won't start without a hit of ether. Would like to get a motor that will rest on the OE mount but I read that 4 strokes will not fit/tilt. I know I know "fix the Chrysler" will be...
