Thanx Dave. You just saved us a bunch of money. We have a fairly new 2 HP 4 stroke long shaft motor. We were thinking to purchase a larger motor. I think I'll try to straighten the bend first on the mast support. Thanx for the help. sal M15 '86 #361 "Justus" In a message dated 10/3/2009 11:46:28 P.M.

Hi all,

We had a little snow storm last week (10") so I threw a tarp over our M15 to keep the snow off. Unfortunately the wind was stronger than expected. The wind grabbed the tarp and the mast and bent the support 90 degrees. I believe I can straighten it, but i don't think I can get the kink out. Is there a source or supplier to get a new one? Our boat is an '86, will a new one fit? Any help would be appreciated.

We have an inboard electric motor on our boat, but it was suggested that we also carry an outboard for longer windless runs that sometimes occur in these "gatherings" like the Havasu event. So I'm going to mount a rack (folding) for a motor. Is there an optimum depth for the prop? How much power will I need to push the M15 "properly"? Any suggestions are appreciated.
