We towed our M17 with a V6 Honda Pilot from California where we bought it to Tucson with no problem but there are no big grades on that stretch of I-10. We launched with a V6 Rav4 but the trailer hitch is much too low for long distance towing. Road trips are fun - go for it if you have the time.

Hi Ted,
I bought a Ruddercraft Unifoil kickup rudder for my M17 this spring, and so far have nothing but good to say about it. ?It's solidly built and easy to raise and lower. ?The hydraulic spring piston holds it down, and, after hitting an obstruction (like the bottom), it returns to vertical by itself. ?It replaced an older manual IdaSailer rudder, and there's no comparison. ?Ruddercraft is also a good company to do business with. ?Are you putting it on an M17?

I am considering buying an IDA rudder. ?Is it worth it? ?I feel like my rudder assembly is weak and bends and twists, doesn't feel very strong. ?Would you consider the IDA (ruddercraft) rudder to be better?

One mile is pretty much no different than the rest. Just more of them in a row. We used to tow our Rhodes 22, 4700 lb tow weight, with a Chevy S-10. Towed it to Kentucky lake and back twice, 875 miles one way and never had a problem. An R-22 weighs almost twice what an M-17 weighs. I'd just hook it up and go.

Tim,
I have an M17 (Hull 626, 2004), but I imagine the opening for a porta potti is the same on both our models.? My Thetford Model TC 26104 Porta Pot just fits, although I don't know if it is still made.? It is 15" front to back, 12.5" wide, and 12" high (must be 2.5 gallons).? Thetford and SeaLand both make units of about that size, so I think you should measure your spot just to make sure 1/2" or so difference is not that critical. You might also look into the waste absorbent packs that were in vogue awhile back, if they are still available.???We can also hope Dave Scobie is not on a cruise, 'cause he knows about all this stuff.
