CDI Roller furling
by Nebwest2＠aol.com 14 Sep '06

Tim Daulntless had a CDI Roller furler when we purchased her and like you we decided to remove. The great thing about CDI's is that no modifications to the forestay need to be made to install them. To remove it just remove the turnbuckle and slide the drum and foil right off. Re-assemble the turnbuckle and you are ready to go. There were two screws on a U-shaped bracket on the bottom of the drum that I had to remove and other than that , that was about it as far as I remember. The next good thing is that there is market for used CDI's. If you don't want it, put it on EBAY. I sold mine for $200 plus shipping and used that money to send my genoa to Ullman Sails and have hanks replaced on the luff. Good luck, Sean

Gary, Good point about closing valves, and it does make it easier when we have a single cylinder Yamaha 4! Bones

M17 - #643 - SEABISCUIT

HI GANG: I AM ABOUT TO TAKE DELIVERY OF MY NEW M17 ON OR ABOUT SEPTEMBER 25 (2006). I LIVE IN OHIO AND POSSIBLY WILL DRIVE TO CALIFORNIA TO PICK HER UP. I AM THINKING OF ADDING A ELECTRICAL AUTO PILOT TO THE BOAT FOR USE ESPECIALLY WHEN MOTORING. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL AUTOHELM TYPES 4000 AND 7000 AND THE WORKED GREAT AFTER MANY YEARS OF SERVICE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A TILLER TYPE AND WANTED TO KNOW THE THINKING OF THE BEST ONE TO PURCHASE AND THE CORRECT SIZE. I WILL PURCHASE A NEW HONDA 5hp BUT AM NOT THINKING OF GETTING THE ALTERNATOR OPTION. I AM PURCHASING THE ELECTRICAL PACKAGE FROM MONTGOMERY WHICH INCLUDES THE BATTERY CHARGER. ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IS HOW LONG WILL THE AUTO PILOT LAST ON A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY? ANY OTHER COMMENTS WOULD ALSO BE APPRECIATED. THANKS AND GOOD SAILING JOHN RUPP CORTLAND, OHIO _TERMEQUIP(a)AOL.COM_ (mailto:TERMEQUIP@AOL.COM)

Hey John, Congratulations on your new Monty. I'm sure you will love it. I'm going to throw my two cents in the hat for what its worth. When we purchased our boat it came with an outboard with an alternator. Didn't seem like a big deal. But, after taking our first trip top the coast and using the autopilot for the first time, I was really glad we had it. Although on that trip we didn't have to do much motoring, it's nice to know that if you have a 5 or 6 hour motor trip ahead of you that you don't have to worry about power consumption of the autopilot. Just set it and go. When you get where you are going your battery is full to the top and ready for the next leg of the trip. Make sure to send Bill at the MSOG Photo site pics of your new baby!!!

by Steve R. 13 Sep '06

Hey Tim: Nice looking craft! Could you tell me about the antenna mount? Is that a single mount or did you assemble components to get the ability to adjust it in two directions? Thanks, steve Steve R.

Frank's M15
by Rick Langer 12 Sep '06

Hey Frank, Does that boat still float? How's the bulkhead work going? (For those who don't know, Frank's new boat came without any bulkheads or flotation under the cockpit so he's planning to add those features.)
