Re: M_Boats: Outhaul and reef point boom hardware
by csugg 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

I just finished building a boom for M17 #347. I ordered boom and all fittings from Dyer. They recommended and supplied SS rivets for fittings. Worked well. Chesley Sugg M17 #347

Outhaul and reef point boom hardware
by Tyler Backman 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

I am planning to add an outhaul and second reef point hardware to my M15, and have some questions: -What is the recommended way to mount hardware to the boom? I don't want to have stainless rivets fail from galvanic corrosion. I've thought about using plastic shoulder bushings and bolts, but that wouldn't let the hardware mount perfectly flush. -Does anyone have hardware recommendations for the reef point and outhaul? -Is an internal outhaul worthwhile? Sincerely, Tyler Davis, CA M15 #157 "Defiant"

Mustang Survival PFD recall
by Dave Scobie 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

I received the following notice from BoatUS – *Mustang Survival has announced it is voluntarily recalling two selected models of inflatable personal flotation devices (PFDs) manufactured in Canada between September 2014 and September 2015. The recall is being issued for the reinforcement of a portion of the bladder assembly that may tear when the bladder lobes are flexed apart while fully inflated.* *Read BoatUS’s complete notice:* *http://www.boatus.com/pressroom/release.asp?ID=1150#.ViJypysmjBw <http://www.boatus.com/pressroom/release.asp?ID=1150#.ViJypysmjBw>* Here is the link to Mustang Survival’s recall announcements: http://www.mustangsurvival.com/advisories? As readers know I advocate wearing a PFD all the time <https://sagemarineblog.wordpress.com/2015/05/01/more-comments-on-pfds/> … now it is time to confirm your PFD is safe to use. -- :: Dave Scobie :: former M15 owner - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com

Interesting comment regarding cockpit draining through slot. I too have wished for a way to quiet the CB - mine bangs a bit regardless of whether up or down. Usually not an issue unless mooring is a bit 'lively' due to wind/waves or other passing craft. a On Mon, Oct 12, 2015 at 2:00 PM, < montgomery_boats-request(a)mailman.xmission.com> wrote: > Send montgomery_boats mailing list submissions to > montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > > https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > montgomery_boats-request(a)mailman.xmission.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > montgomery_boats-owner(a)mailman.xmission.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of montgomery_boats digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

The M15 cockpit drain empties into the centerboard trunk. A gasket might slow the drain or stop it as well as trapping any grit or debris next to the centerboard where it could cause other problems.
