Re: Keel replacement on Cape Cod Mercury, fin keel

Yes, they have just about every other part listed except the keel. The office is closed for the virus, I left a message. I'll pull it off and weigh it, see how much is gone in the meantime.

Re: Are all 2 stroke outboards unreliable or is it just mine?

It's the "finest outboard for the world" and I have a 1977 converted to 25:1 that starts by the second pull everytime. It's such a simple design..if you can't get a Seagull to run, you probably just...

Re: Removing antenna from mast, good move?

Thanks for all the info and opinions sailors, it's really helped me sort out a strategy as I complete this re fit. Once the mast is down I can decide if the top of the mast is an option, if not,...

Re: Removing antenna from mast, good move?

Yep, that's my panel, except mine is not attach to the bulkhead currently. I have a circuit marked bow light I haven't tracked down. I thought I might change to circuit breakers..

Re: Removing antenna from mast, good move?

Ya, that's been my approach so far. I pulled out the head, filled those holes and have a porti-potty for now. I kept the same fixtures but converted to led. I have the same panel as you do in this...

Re: Removing antenna from mast, good move?

It certainly could've been modified. Is that light marked "bow light" on the panel?

Re: Removing antenna from mast, good move?

The thing I don't like is on the inside. ..comes out of the ceiling in the head and stapled down the wall. Easy to remove, pain to replace.

Re: Removing antenna from mast, good move?

"Higher is always better.."

That was my assumption as well but given Fine Tolerance's experience, I'm not so sure. It really is about a third of the cable to go to the tower.

Re: Removing antenna from mast, good move?

Ya, begs the question why put it there in the first place? I assumed it was factory but I could be wrong. The coax going thru the cabin top looks factory and old.

Re: Removing antenna from mast, good move?

Wow..that is interesting. Aesthetics aren't a first priority but I was trying to stay away from a 15' fiberglass whip with tennis balls on it, lol.

Re: Removing antenna from mast, good move?

We are getting ready to change the rigging so I could put the antenna on top of the mast but its factory plate is about halfway up. The difference between the top of the tower and the top of the...

Re: Removing antenna from mast, good move?

Thanks..I was reading up on gain. Sounds like a 4' ss 3dB is going to be a good choice. Trying to simplify where I can and maybe get rid of one ugly wire.

Re: Removing antenna from mast, good move?

Thanks Brian, that's great info! The mast antenna looks to be a stainless 18" variety. There's room for a larger one on the tower, is there a type that would help me gain back some of that loss? ...

Re: What do you think this boat is worth$

Looks like a rich man's project. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean rich in a disparaging way, I just mean there are so many unknown variables that you will need real deep pockets to make this size...
