John, Thank you for your great reply. I did not realize the pitch was a 13. I did not get the paint off of the prop to take a look. I thought the 3.22 was a...
I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Dave. I appreciate his friendship, through this wonderful website, and the wonderful sharing of his knowledge...
YANMAR Transmission Ratios: Your are right the 3.22 is a very high reduction gear. This means the prop turns the RPM of the engine divided by 3.22. Thus the...
I have not fully inspected "down below", but bringing my Watkins27 into slip under power yesterday I had the sickening experience of the transmission cable...
Check where it connects to the control handle just in the starboard locker, well, at least that is where my tiller boat does. Mine came loose there. I guess...

John, I will start making calls to a few of the Prop shops on my list. Do you know what the shaft diameter is on our boats? Regards, Matt Moriah W25 1987 In a...
Well, we still have the MLB. I am moving to a new dock tomorrow as I want to be able to sail all winter, or until we sell the boat. We have 8 feet under the...
When Lake Lanier made the 5 O'clock news a few weeks ago, showing grass growing between the docks, I was wondering how the low water affected you? Has your...
I now have a new dock at c22. It is really nice and has 40' of water. I can sail, but you have to be very careful. The electronics on the boat really help,...
Back to your "move" question: My original slip had 24 feet of water below the keel this June. I have 4 feet under her now, and am moving to the new slip...

I have just been informed that there are 4 rams at Lake Lanier where MLB can be hauled out by a trailer. So that is an option. So those folks interested in...
4 ramps. The stray cat just pooped and peed in my 1972 914, and I am livid! Going cat hunting, as it is open season. Paul, want to go? I know you are still...
Hum, let me know about the land situation. That is pretty close to Urbana and Irvington, and a days sail to Jim and Terry. C ... Lord knows you need all the...
