If there is any standing water, you will certainly develop algae. Do you have anything heavy up in the bow - big batteries, always full water tank, holding tank, anchors, extra gas tank ? ? Think of the boat like a tetter totter. If you move heavy gear from the bow to the stern, you will change the fore/aft trim and allow the cockpit to drain properly. The boat is fastest with a slightly bow down trim. Bow down trim maximizes the water line length and minimizes the drag from the aft section of the hull. Also, the unloaded hull trims slightly bow down to allow for the additional weight of crew in the cockpit when sailing. Is there anything heavy you could store in the lazarette compartment and then move to the V-berth when sailing? Keeping the water tank and holding tank empty when not sailing will help.

I need it to get out of the bay and back to the dock, and occasionally to come back 3 miles or so if the wind dies or has died down & it?s almost dinnertime. Rarely gets below 75% charge. So easy to use at a moment?s notice, just twist the throttle, like when needing to go directly upwind between 2 points entering a bay, or on the leeward side of a point or island when guests want to get a look at houses. I keep an extra battery on board so my wife won?t be nervous, but never need it. I use it on rowboats in both places too. Also keeps me from having to winterize and maintain 2 outboards.

First, I want to say that when I pulled my old wires out of the mast I found that the zip-ties I used when I installed them to try to eliminate slapping were obviously too small and flimsy to do the job. I took one look at them, shook my head, and said to myself ?what was I thinking??. Based on this finding, and reports from other boat owners, I?m perfectly willing to believe that the zip-tie solution to the wire slapping problem can work if properly implemented. But, by the time of this discovery I was already committed to the the pipe insulation approach. To start at the beginning, when I arrived at the pipe insulation section of my local Home Depot, I found that it comes in two sizes: 1/2? and 3/4?. I chose 1/2?, which turned out to be correct. It just fit into the channel in the IMF mast. Four 3? sections come in a package, so 2 packages is about the perfect amount for the job. I ended up using 12? of insulation above the spreaders, and about 11? 4? below. After getting the mast set up on a couple of saw-horses I did some disassembling. I removed the top plate, and the assembly that houses the sheaves for the halyards. I also removed the spreader bases, and the through-bolt that attaches them to the mast. And I removed any other hardware that had screws or bolts that projected into the mast?s wire channel. Next, I laid out the wire along side the mast, and made marks on the wire to help in positioning the insulation. The main focus here was that I wanted to leave a gap in the insulation at the spreaders so that it wouldn?t be in the way when it came time to reinsert the through-bolt. The installation approach was to insert at the bottom, and pull toward the top. Sections of insulation would be zip-tied around the wire before insertion. After a test run with one piece of insulation, it became clear that the biggest challenge was going to be keeping the insulation in a fixed position on the wire. The technique that ended up meeting the challenge had multiple steps: 1) select a spot on the wire about 6? below where the top end of the insulation section will be 2) take 6 - 8 wraps of electrical tape around the wire at this point, creating a ?bump? 3) place a small zip-tie around the wire _above_ the electrical tape; pull tight, clip off excess (this creates another ?bump?) 4) position insulation section around wire 5) place a zip-tie around the insulation so that it is just _above_ the inner zip-tie and tape 6) place a second outer zip-tie 4-6? from the bottom of the section of insulation 7) pull both outer zip-ties as tight as you can (use pliers for a better grip); trim off excess 8) from the top of the mast, pull 3? of wire and insulation into the mast 9) repeat Note that ??top? and ?above? means closer to the top of the mast. Once I had the technique down, things went pretty quickly. Now I just have to put the mast back together.

It is virtually impossible to remove silicone residue and nothing will stick to that residue - including silicone. 4200 is acceptable but don't use 5200 - it is permanent.

I wasn?t sure that I had anything useful to say, but then a thought occurred to me. If your boat is wired like mine, there is a 2-conductor wire that runs from the breaker panel down along the hull behind where the ice-box was (or maybe still is), then forward under the cabinet base, then under the head floor, and finally up a wire chase along side the compression post to a through-deck fitting at the base of the mast. Your plan calls for 4 conductors going up the mast (3 lights with a common ground). Getting 2 more conductors from the base of the mast all the way back to the breaker panel would be a PITA. You?ll also need 3 switches to control the three lights. You?re already using one in the breaker panel (I?ll assume this is labeled ?Anchor?), but you probably don?t have two unused switches available there. My suggestion is to re-label the ?Anchor? breaker panel switch as ?Mast Lights?. Install 3 switches somewhere near the top of the compression post, and label these ?Anchor?, ?Steaming?, and ?Deck?. Use the existing wire from the breaker panel as a common power source and common ground for these 3 circuits. One other thing I can say from recent personal experience is that making the wiring connections to the through-deck fitting was also a PITA. I was using three 18 AWG wires. Connecting 4 wires will be even more challenging. Best of luck. Let us know how the project unfolds, even if you don?t follow any of my suggestions. :^) Peter Nyberg Coventry, CT s/v Silverheels (1988/2016) [ Sent From rhodes22.net ] > On 2024-05-05, at 14:21:38 EDT, DAVID BERG wrote: > > I?m about to attempt to service and upgrade the masthead light situation on my > 1996/200?

But, as I recall, the OEM roller furler had an extra hole in the furling drum. The line for tensioning the genoa luff was fed thru this hole and a stopper knot was tied on the bottom of the drum. The rest of the line was fed thru a grommet on the tack of the genoa. The genoa luff was tensioned by tying a power cinch hitch. Normally, the luff tensioning line is left tied off to the roller furling drum when the sail is removed. However, your inexperienced "helpers" may not have known this and removed it. As I recall, the line was 1/4" OD double braid, about 2' long. By the way, who is my "uncle Bob"?
