M-15
by jerry montgomery 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

I just returned from the Sac State Aquatioc Center, where I looked at an early M-15. It was donated to them and is a steal at 2,500. incl trailer. We tapped it down for dry-rot (none) and played with the cb, which operated slicker than snot on a hot doorknob. It's sunburned but a day's work with a good buffer would do wonders. If interested email Gary Cook at gcook(a)saclink.csus.edu I don't think it will stick around long- if I didn't have a Sage I'd grab it. jerry -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.

I've had very good luck with good old WD40 . My luck is enhance by the fact that there's a can living in my tool bag.

You can find it in any auto supply store. It can be used on fiberglass and I found that it didn't harm the gelcoat. It comes in a 4oz spray bottle. Spray it on and leave it on for a minute or two and wipe off with a very very soggy-wet terry cloth and then hose down well. Have some premixed Boat wash in a bucket to folllow up to remove any of the residue from the Super Clean. It was also the fastest thing I've used to remove the sticky adhesive left when taping off the boat for painting.

Haven't had much crud on the rode where I sail. Sometimes the anchor will bring up a scoop of mud but that comes off with a few dunks over the side.

My bow pulpit has a loop on each side for lifeline attachment. I hang the snatch block on the port side. Provides a straight line from there to the winch and also holds the chain away from the hull if you need to motor a little ways before bringing it the rest of the way in. This method also works great if you need to relocate your anchor. Just bring it up to the snatch block, position the boat, and let her back down. Regarding stress on the bow pulpit, I don't leave the line up there when anchored, only when raising the anchor. I installed that bow pulpit myself and I know how solid it is. There is enough give with the bow able to sink a ways if the load gets too heavy. Use reasonable caution, of course.

Hiya Larry, I liked your input on anchoring Looks like I'll be buying a snatch block for my M17...... I can also testify that outboard motors with alternators will only supply ample current when they are running at higher RPM. The output voltage is also unregulated.
