Pete - Bought a 2.3 for my M17 and found that it is not only light but can push Sick Chicken along nicely. Do recommend using ethanol free gas. It uses so little fuel and has such a small carburetor that it is an inexpensive add-on. John

Hi Dave,
My apologies to everyone for not responding. If you need access, send another email. Lost track in the business of life.

Gerry!
Good to hear from you!! I've sent email messages but not heard back so sending you this note via the listproc.
I've had a couple of folks contact me trying to get accounts on the MSOGphotosite stating they never received a response after sending an email.

Hi Tim,
Why don’t you use the MSOG photo site. I run the site, but haven’t seen a lot of activity recently. Part of the problem is my failure to check the site email! I’ll be better about that!

Thank you Bob.
I am planning on pursuing an approach Dave Scoobie recommended. I am going to create resin lead bricks from the lead shot and epoxy them to the shoal keel and then layup the outer skin of my shoal keel to the lead bricks. I like this idea as the entire shoal keel should have a degree of structural integrity.
Guess I am planning on hitting the bottom a couple of time here in the Salish Sea and inland lakes. 😊

Ballast is 600 pounds total. Counting the centerboard. Use lead shot in 25 pound bags. Fix the hull. Pour in the shot from above. Bob

Tim,
I would love pictures of what you had to do to retrieve all those steel punchings out of the hull. Sounds like quite a job. Depending on where you are located, I may have lead for you. Laying beneath my Monty is the ballast from my old Sea Sprite 23, about 1400 pounds worth of lead that has stubbornly refused to be easily cut up into smaller chunks.

Gentlemen,
1. I have started the repair process of my cracked shoal keel by removing the steel punchings. 2. Dave Scoobie visited the other night and suggested I ask Jerry for the weight of ballast to purchase.
a. Hull # MMP 173320981.
3. So far I have pulled out most of the steel punchings.
a. Just shy of 300 lbs. b. There is a lot steel punchings that just went everywhere, not sure if was 10% of what I have removed everywhere though. c. The remainder in the keel will probably take a week or more to chase out. The solidified oxidized stuff just doesn't want to leave the boat.
4. I have the day off Friday and a local source of reclaimed range lead shot #7 to #9 that will provide me the weight I need (500 lbs is possible).
a. If possible would like to purchase all the lead I need. b. No worries, if I don't hear from anyone prior to Friday, between excavating the stubborn steel ballast pockets and figuring out how to cast resin lead bricks, I'll have opportunities to purchase additional lead in the future.
Thank you,
Tim de Lacy

Hi Gerry,
I will submit photos of my shoal keel repair when complete and share what I have learned with the community.
Presently I am in the midst of deconstruction soon to transition to reconstruction.
As the story is not complete, not sure how many chapters will be thrown out.
The photos will tell only what worked for me not what did not.
I have sincerely appreciated the site and have gleaned quite a bit of information. Thank you for your efforts in maintaining the site.

Hi folks: I’ve been sailing the San Juans for a few years and have a Mercury 4-stroke, 4 hp, that has served me well in getting around the islands on those windless days. However, I’ve been hearing more and more about not leaving the motor on the transom when traveling. I always have. But I’m getting a little worried about it. It weighs 75 pounds. It’s a real pain to put on and off the boat. So, I’m thinking of the 2.3 honda as an alternative and at much less the weight. Have you guys had good luck with that motor? And, is it enough power to push through the currents of the islands. Thanks, Pete WinterSky (Zimowsky)
