Hi Chuck- I think I have the drain fitting so it is not leaking. It would be really nice when I want to do an oil change if I could hook up a vacuum pump to the brass fitting on the end of the hose to pump the oil out. Have you seen anything that will do that? My pump has nylon tubing and no

I was struck by the fact that with the chute up, the bobstay was constantly throwing up spray which to me means it is like adding a brake to the bow. Probably not a big issue on a boat of this size, but on a dinghy it would be slow. On another boat, the entire crew was standing near the trans

Having raced for the past five years on a J-80 and on a Melges 24, having the crew in back is to get the bow up and help the boat onto a plane. If you sit in the middle, it just wants to be a very fast and wet displacement boat. You move back and the bow comes up, you pop onto a plane, and you g

On a leading or trailing edge of a keel you need high strength material. A lightweight fairing compound won't work. I did some minor keel repair on Touche' a few years back. Just squaring off the trailing edge. I used epoxy thickened with colloidal silica. Microfiber thickener would have worked

David I do exactly that on my M4-30. I use a small impeller drill pump. First I take the cap off the drain hose and feed the hose down lower towards the base of the oil sump and then forward as far as it will reach to where I attach the inlet hose to the drill pump directly to that drain hose, a s

It sure did look like fun, but my son told me I had no business on a Melges 24 when I talked about getting one for racing, so I'm guessing he wouldn't approve trading in my old 30-1 for one of these.Besides, it might cut into my retirement funds too deeply too late in life.  Maybe later on the u
