re: Topping Lift

No reason you couldn't adjust and cleat at the mast, but you may want to duplicate the tackle at the mast or it may be difficult to lift the boom. The only issue I can see with what you propose is...

Re: Lehr 5hp Outboard - Quality Issues

I was an early adopter too. I bought my 5hp the first month it was out. There were a few minor issues. I had to return the first one due to shipping damage - not Lehr's fault and really a...

Re: Barrier Coat Question

DaBod - I feel your pain and anxiety. I'm at the exact stage you are, only on a 41 footer. I'm definitely ready to put my resperator and sanders away for a while. And like Happymdsailor said, now...

Re: Running the Honda's

I don't think the Scott Mini-SA uses a time-weighted average like marine-rated CO detectors. If it doesn't you'll get lots of false alarms. It's the buildup of CO that you have to worry about, not...

Re: cleaning stainless steel standing rigging

Citric acid works well and won't damage the metal. As neilpride said, it will clean and passivate the surface. Rinse well with fresh water after a 15 to 30 minute soak. Rinse and repeat if...

Re: USCG Legal Search Question?

Re: OMG. What's the point?

Re: Mast noise from wiring--loose PVC
