Rudder Question
by Jon Barber 18 Dec '19

18 Dec '19

My Monty 17, #44 was equipped with the 2 pintle gudgeon set up, making approaches to shore and shallow water very interesting. When the rudder hits bottom, your first reaction is to go to the transom, putting extra weight on the stuck rudder. You can try to pull the pins and unship the whole affair or jump into the water and deal with the predicament you now find yourself in. A ruddercraft rudder/ mast raising system became available at a reasonable price and resides on my transom permanently. No more shipping and unshipping at every launch/retrival. No more looking for somewhere to put the 6' mahogany plank in my truck. Life got easier. Anything you eliminate at launch/retrival gets you in the water and sailing sooner and with less effort. I'm there to sail, not mess around with gear. How many flush deck 17's were built. I found the sales brochure on Shorty Pen and fell in love all over again. What a beautiful boat!

Salish 100
by Henry Rodriguez 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

FWIW I counted ten M17s, three M15s, and 2 M16s signed up for the Salish 100 this summer. No Sages. I only recognize a few of the names. Any on this list? For comparison, out of 135 entries, the next largest group/type is the Scamp with ten registered. There are six Potters and five Pelicans. All of the other boat types are represented by only one or two entries. https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/file/SALISH%20100%20FINAL%20LIST%2C%20revised.p… I plan on bringing Monita out from Minneapolis, barring unforeseen circumstances. We might only be able to do part of the cruise, launching in Gig Harbor, because tight scheduling with an out of town commitment the weekend before. Henry M17 #310 Monita -- Sent from Gmail Mobile

Rudder Question
by David Bailey 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

So,,,, every picture I’ve seen of the stock rudders has the 3 pintle strap configuration. My stern is set up for 2. The stock rudder I bought also has three. Now I’m asking myself, should I relocate two on my rudder, or modify my stern for 3. I have to assume that if my M17 is original, there is a reason for having 3 on the newer generation?

My M-15 Vanilla is listed on the Salish 100 page but is for sale, I will be taking my new SCAMP instead. (It fits in my tiny garage, the M15 doesn’t!) Make that 2 M15s and 11 SCAMPS! www.rustyknorr.weebly.com > On Dec 17, 2019, at 11:00 AM, 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.

David, The oldest models had 2, Jerry improved the mounting by adding the 3rd. If it was my boat, I would.

aluminum framed replacement windows
by Dave Scobie 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Mboaters: reading the latest issue of SAIL magazine there is an interesting article about replacing out-of-production aluminum framed windows - 'Windows on the water', SAIL Nov/Dec '19 pages 50&51. the article describes how a company will make replacement frames and windows that will fit the existing opening. the company is Bomon in Laval,Quebec, Canada - bomon.com Thought this would be of use for owners of the classic M17s with aluminum cabin windows. :: Dave Scobie :: SV SWALLOW - https://sv-swallow.com :: Montgomery 6'8" #650 :: Truck camper - https://truckpopupcamper.wordpress.com/ :: Ramblings - https://scoobsramblings.wordpress.com/ :: former M17 owner #375 SWEET PEA - https://m17-375.com/ <http://www.m17-375.webs.com/> FOR SALE! :: former M15 owner #288 - http://www.freewebs.com/m15-name-scred
