Good design with the lower unit support arm to prevent bouncing loads on the clamp! GO In a message dated 2/11/2017 11:29:03 A.M. US Mountain Standard Time, scoobscobie(a)gmail.com writes: http://www.sagemarine.us/motor_mount.html

Traveling w/outboards

For those of you that do not have external brackets on your trailers, where do you stow the motor when travelling? On the cabin floor? Cockpit sole? In the vehicle? On the transom (heaven forbid!) Henry Sent from my Windows 10 phone

Drying out legs
by Wilson Frye 11 Feb '17

11 Feb '17

All, As a matter of course, sailing along the Intracoastal Gulf in the Monty 17 brings you to many fine beaches that are simply a wade away. Don’t need a dinghy for such places. Sometimes, however, the swing on the hook and the falling tide can lead to the stub keel grounding, and when you wake from your nap and shift your weight, the boat rolls to one side or the other. Then you wait for the tide to bring you afloat again so you can get underweigh. Has anyone added drying out legs to allow sitting on an even keel in such, or similar circumstances? I envision beefing up the hull in the area of attachment with a half inch thick garolite plate both inboard and outboard, and a couple of ash or oak two by twos with a swiveling square foot of epoxy-drenched three quarter inch ply on the foot of the legs…held upright each side by tag lines to the after cleats and to a purpose-built strong point on the sheer forward, with the hull similarly strengthened there. Where, longitudinally, do you think the best position for the legs would be…about even with the mainsheet traveler? Thanks for any experience and advice. Will

Henry, I tow with a truck - so the OB goes in the bed of the truck. I have carried OB on cabin sole with very heavy and large bathmat as a protective pad - worked fine. GO.

Spare parts
by David Rifkind 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

I have some random parts that I don't need and want to bring to the Ran-Tan to trade or sell or just give away. One item I'll bring only if someone actually wants it--a 12' piece of 3"x3" square 11ga galvanized steel tubing, suitable for a trailer tongue extension. This isn't telescoping tubing, just the same stuff a trailer frame might be made of. Cost $100. (They would only sell it as a 24' piece for $200, and I used the other half.)

Great shots Tom! Thank you sir. Larry, have you done any scupper mods to Corndog? I remember looking at the great mods BEAR performed on his M17 when we were together at Havasu a few years ago. He had installed a thruhull shut off valve in that tiny space..... I have pictures somewhere.

Craig Smith I just looked at the photos of MM and am a little confused. It indicates that you are located in NorCal yet in the write up you are talking about NWI and lakes that I am familiar with. Where are you located now? If you are in the NWI area maybe we can get together sometime this season.
