Anyone from the list ever taken their Monty to the Islands? I am planning a vaca there this summer. We will be staying on Madeline Island and day tripping out to the islands. Any helpful hints or experiences to pass along before I go? Thanks Doug __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

sink drain aluminum tubing
by htmills＠bright.net 12 May '04

12 May '04

I thought these two photos might be of interest to those of you with embedded aluminum tubing thru-hulls. This is my sink drain. The aluminum seems to be in fine shape. http://www.bright.net/~htmills/Msinkdrainthruhull.jpg This is the upper end where it connects to the bottom of the molded-in fiberglass sink. The aluminum tube here was in awful shape. What you are seeing inside the rubber hose (which seems to be in excellent shape) is the remains of the end of the aluminum tube. What is left on the bottom of the sink is a very jagged and perforated tube. I'm surprised at the difference between the two, but I suppose it is because the upper tube is immersed with a much greater frequency than the lower (which probably spends its time mostly immersed) and thus probably lives in a sea of ions that are waiting to catch some cute aluminum ion. http://www.bright.net/~htmills/Msinkdrain.jpg Tod

Hi Bill, After examining the nice photo of Storm Petrel I have some questions: 1. What are those half round items on your cockpit coaming? Anti-PWC missile launchers? 2. That boarding ladder looks neat. Make and model if you please. 3. You have a bow pulpit; I don't on LEPPO. Do you find it useful? Would you recommend I consider getting one? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had the boat cover off last week when I showed my M15 to Rick Langer, but here in Connecticut - as usual - early May is still not pleasant sailing time. The macho sailing fiends are in the water by May 1st, jeering at the rest of us that think Memorial Day is just fine for the start of the season, and making us jealous while we are working on boats and they are out sailing. Have a great season in Storm Petrel. Connie

Hi Bill, Thanks for your answers to my questions. Now, as I just told Craig to do - I'll have to contemplate my navel about installing the bow pulpit. Have a great sailing summer and a great sail on the Chesapeake, and give the whole gang my best regards. Connie

wiring diagram
by htmills＠bright.net 11 May '04

11 May '04

Here's my start on Busca's wiring diagram. Unfortunately, it isn't the most readable. I'm putting together a bill of materials now. http://www.bright.net/~htmills/BuscaWiringDiagram.jpg and a close-up of the panel: http://www.bright.net/~htmills/BuscaPanel.jpg It doesn't have all that much, a masthead light a floodlight on the deck (built in with the masthead light) a bicolor bow light a stern light a cabin light a cabin plug a cockpit plug a fishfinder The diagram is supposed to be pretty representative of how the wires will actually be on the boat (I show the mast and compression post. Doing it that way (instead of strictly abstractly) allowed me to reduce the number of wires. For instance, I was going to have three switches alongside the companionway, on for deck nav lights, one for masthead light, and one for floodlight. But when I saw all the extra wiring needed (not to mention mounting the switches) I scrapped that for this simpler arrangement. I figure if I need an anchor light (something I've never felt the need for yet) I can plug a light into the cockpit receptacle. Wiring a battery charger in would be nice but....

wet locker drains
by Honshells 11 May '04

11 May '04

Because my boat is over 200 miles away right now . . . What is the diameter of the vertical holes, I guess you could call them "drains", that allow water to pass from the M17 cockpit to the wet locker, and vise versa? The actual drains (to thru-hulls) are in the wet-locker itself, so I'm not sure what I should call the holes from the locker to the cockpit. My M17 is an '84, and I don't know whether the holes would be different on post-'80's models. My deck is Jerry's redesign, with the wider transom and no outboard cut-out. Thanks!
