Outboard motor noise
by Jon Barber 14 Sep '22

14 Sep '22

I use earplugs when running the Honda 2. I use it very little. The old 2's were small enough to rotate in the notch making reverse possible. It is also full power reverse as its not a prop running backward. I can effectively park my boat using motor thrust and tiller for direction. Another plus I discovered when the shear pin sheared. In the notch I can remove the motor for service! Shear pin replaced in 10 minutes while underway. Great simple motor.

Outboards

Dear Fellow Montgomery Owners, I have a 2 hp Johnson Sea Horse outboard on my 1983 Montgomery 15. I am ready to purchase a brand new outboard because I need peace of mind for going across the Catalina Channel. I have the old style motor mount that is not adjustable. I am asking for any advice about engines from anyone who is willing to share their experience and opinions so that I can make the wisest choice when I shop for an engine. I am also willing to make adjustments to my existing motor mount if it is necessary. Your input is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Paul Baker (Los Angeles)

Sage15’s
by Rusty Knorr 30 Aug '22

30 Aug '22

It has been suggested by far smarter people than me that I should be trying to find a Sage15 or SageCat. I know there is someone on this list who is thinking about selling their boat, not using enough to justify it, etc. I’m just putting it out there, I’m looking for my “forever” boat, as this will be my last cruising boat before swallowing the hook. There has to be someone out there who has one, or knows someone who does, that is looking to, or even thinking about selling their Sage. PLEASE contact me directly off list if you can help me out! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Rusty Knorr rustyknorr(a)gmail.com 206-719-3209 www.rustyknorr.weebly.com

Boat moving
by Rusty Knorr 30 Aug '22

Is it feasible to move an M15 around on the trailer by hand? I live in a townhouse, and need to store a boat in the garage. It needs to go in nose first, meaning rolling by hand on the jack (whatever boat I finally get will have the jack upgraded first thing.) The driveway is flat, but I’m wondering how easy it is to roll these boats on the trailer by hand, they’re small but it’s still a lot of weight for one guy! 🥵 Thanks all, Rusty Oh, and find me a nice M15 or Sage15 to buy!!! Please!!! 🙏🙏🙏😜 www.rustyknorr.weebly.com

MSOG.ORG shutting down
by Douglas King 20 Aug '22

20 Aug '22

Well, after 20 years of existence, it's time to close the MSOG.ORG website down. Although pretty good in its (my) heyday, I find I can no longer maintain it as it should be maintained. Over the past several years, age and infirmity have gotten the best of me. I retired early about 14 years ago and no longer even remember how to program the site. It's not in very good shape anymore and needs to go. It will probably remain online for another month or so but I've decided not to make the $80 payment due in October (other half in April). So if there's any info you want from it, better get it while you can. Doug King msog(a)msog.org

List server NOT related to MSOG.ORG

Correct John, MSOG.ORG website is NOT related to this listserv, which started well before the website. MSOG.ORG just provides info on subscribing, unsubscribing, and sending messages via the listserver, on MSOG.ORG, just for users' convenience.
