NEW TAX THAT OBAMA AND HIS THIEVES SAID WOULD NOT COME, AND YET HERE IT IS. WONDER WHAT THEY WILL DO TO CABELLA'S FOR SHOWING IT ON THE RECEIPTS THEY HAND TO THEIR CUSTOMERS The 2.3% Medical Excise Tax that began on January 1st is supposed to be “hidden” from the consumer, but it's been brought to the public’s attention by hunting and fishing store Cabela’s who have refused to hide it and are showing it as a separate line item tax on their receipts. The 2.3% Medical Excise Tax that began on January 1st is supposed to be ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…â€œhiddenÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚ from the consumer, but it's been brought to the publicÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s attention by hunting and fishing store CabelaÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s who have refused to hide it and are showing it as a separate line item tax on their receipts. Anyone still believe Obama didn't raise taxes on the middle class? Anyone still believe Obama didn't raise taxes on the middle class? Bruce King

I certainly hope so. We have folks on all sides of the aisle. Would prefer to keep this to boat talk.

M-15 cabin port
by stevetrapp 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Tom, I think this photo of the rectangular shape port (hinged window with screen - opens inward for ventilation) on my M-15 shows it better than words of description. Took the photo of my M-15 on Laike Couer D' Alene in North Idaho, but my boat and I are now on Sound Puget Sound.

Montgomery 15 Rudder
by David Grah 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

The discussion about rudders prompts me to comment. I admit I only really know our boat, which I believe uses a stock rudder, but I can't imagine any way to improve it. On our boat the rudder is raised and lowered by applying an up-and-down motion to the tiller. It is easy to quickly put the rudder up or down or even put it halfway if you hold the tiller right. If we hit rocks or the bottom the rudder kicks up on its own so it doesn't tear itself out of the boat. As far as I know, the rudder has never come near our propeller. It sounds like the Ida rudder setup would be similar but slower to get up or down. I would think a rudder that retracts straight up wouldn't allow protection from running into things. Anyway, my thoughts. I like the stock rudder. David Grah Montgomery 15 Bishop California

Montgomery 17 steel ballast replacement.
by Thomas Buzzi 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

Anybody figure out how to replace the steel stampings with lead in the centerboard trunk once the steel has expanded from corrosion and pinched the centerboard tight? Were the steel pellets bedded with anything or just dumped into the cavity? Thanks for any ideas about this. Tom Buzzi M17, 258,"Social Security"

Anchor Pulpit...
by Lou 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

I haven't checked my E-mail for a few days, but it looks as though some of you were able to access the photos I posted of my bow pulpit. I'm glad you like it as it was quite a project. It is made from 2 pieces of 1" teak that I glued and pegged to make for a 2" thick platform, that was the easy part. I decided that a solid platform might catch a wave, so I would need some holes in it, that was the challenge! I knew that round holes wouldn't look right, so I had to make square holes. I tried on my own, but finally got someone with a computer driven router to make the square holes. I was able to do the shaping and the roller installation and then I attached it to the deck with stainless nuts and bolts. I have some more detailed pictures if you would like to E-mail me. I wouldn't attempt to make a kit for this as one time was enough, but I do think it looks sharp on the boat and it functions well. Still The One... Lou

Bow pulpit...
by Lou 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

I have been meaning to post this for awhile and I wasn't quite sure about how to do it. I hope this will work as I would like to share this project with others on the site. It was allot of work to make this however it does dress up the boat nicely and allows launching the anchor from the cockpit. Missing from this picture is one more roller that is mounted to the stansion that holds the top of the anchor up so it self deploys under its own weight.

Strange problem with SeaDog panel
by Tom Smith 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

Has anyone on the list encountered this problem: I have a SeaDog 6 gang switch panel (Model 422110) installed on my M17 (I don't know if this panel is original equipment on a '92 M17 or not, but the 422110 is a common panel). The thing doesn't seem to like 1 1/4 inch fuses, which is about the only size I can find. Measuring the existing fuse (original equipment I assume) I come up with approximately 1 3/16 inches. Although the 1 1/4 inch fuse will fit in the fuse holder, the larger fuse won't work. I've tried both sizes in the same And get this, a SeaDog tech I've been emailing tried a 1 1/4 in a 422110 and it worked for him. Any ideas? t
