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?

Bones, Perhaps your 17 is constructed a little differently, but with Busca's, I just get on my knees on the cabin sole facing aft and reach around/stick my head down behind the c/b pendant tube and there it is in all its glory. While I don't keep my anchor chain down there, I have found a bottle or two of wine there in the course of a cruise. :o) Tod (who does NOT keep tongue wrapped in newspaper in his bilge) -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+htmills=bright.net@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+htmills=bright.net@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of bownez@juno.com Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 11:04 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: M_Boats: The black hole...

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 Wayne.. Yes the 17 has a bilge, just behind the ballast dam in the aft section of the keel.. I don't know about the 76 model. How is your new trailer working out? Fair winds Bob Wayne Yeargain wrote:
