Stus-List Martec Folding Prop

Dave, Had my Martec rebuilt last year before we headed to the Bahamas. Folks at Martec were easy to deal with. Had/have the only one blade deploying issue primarily when I failed to stop/slow sufficiently before putting in forward (ie sailing @ under 3 knots = time for iron genny) Couldn't kick it

Stus-List Old Boat Leaks

Steve, FWIW I am constantly amazed how much water comes down inside the mast. My mast boot is fine. On my boat there is plastic tubing that drains the mast step into a container (bottom of cut off plastic jug - like the large gal container for 2 cycle oil) that fits nicely between the stringers a

Joel Helm seat is out on my boat. Can't imagine having it in as it is so tight behind wheel. Have a huge (44"?) wheel that allows easy steering from the sides (though is a PIA to get around). So I will either stand behind wheel or sit on either coaming feet on seats. You can sit/lean behind the

I have had both. FWIW I would never go back to Outboard. My Catalina 27 had a 15hp and was pretty well designed for it. Transom had a cut out in the middle and the motor simply tilted up into this cut out- no bracket. There was room on either side for a 5 gal gas can. There was enough power(note th

Tim I would go with the remanufactured 3gmf30. This assumes you are comfortable with the vendor. The 3gmxxx seems to be about right for the boat and it should be a drop in replacement. That is what is in my 35-3. I believe the new yanmars flipped sides for everything so oil filter, exhaust etc is

David Agreed you are entitled to room- at least enough for a seamanlike rounding - Another way to look at it is that you had an overlap - probably well outside of the zone. Draw a line perpendicular across his stern and your whole boat was likely in front because of the very different angles hi
