I'm sailing an M15 (#366). I don't remember if the M17 bilge is the same configuration as the M15, but you should be able to squeeze your head and shoulders around the pennant tube to look into the area, either directly or with a mirror and light. You might be amazed at the lost treasures you find down there. Hopefully you won't strike oil, like I did. Bill bownez@juno.com wrote:
HI Bill,
Say, are you sailing a M15 or an M17? I have never tried to inspect the aft keel (bilge) area on my M17, but I plan to now. Can anyone offer any insight on the best way to do this?
Thanks,
Bones
