Tom Makes sense will peruse this avenue of Installation. Do you have a model # for the Inspection port?

An inspection port on the aft wall of the cockpit is very handy. I cut mine in with a sabersaw. It is about 7inches x12 inches actual opening. Through it I plan to be able to through bolt my boarding ladder, install another gudgeon for the rudder and inspect the aft cockpit drain,hose and thru hull. All are handy to this area and do not involve child labor. On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 10:47 AM, Larry Pegg <larrypegg@aol.com> wrote:
I have "paddled" Pilgrim about two miles back to the dock when the wind completely died and I had no motor. I have also paddled in an out of our slip just to see if I could.

Howzit from Kaneohe Bay?
I'm dangerously close to splashing my restored '91 M17 and have options for AUX power; but must wonder if anyone has thought to / or successfully applied oars & locks to the cockpit combings. Or even a transom sweep??? Just checking! We just need to clear our lee shore reef, before we can sail to weather and beyond.
Best ideas will be rewarded with an invitation to come over and crew!
