    Need help dating old sunfish

    I haven't tried there yet. Do you think the metal plate is simply missing as in it fell off? I thought they were riveted on or something. I see why you say it has to be no later than '69 because that's when AMF bought Alcort. So that's pretty good in narrowing it down. Can't be younger than 1971...

    Need help dating old sunfish

    Aquired this sunfish, can't figure out the age. Read the pages on yahoo group but some things just don't add up. I know it's in the 60's but want more specific info. Has no metal plate with serial number and of course nothing on the transom. What do you guys thinkg based on the pictures?

    Installing tiller extension

    It did come with the plastic saddle but no screws or bolts for attachment. I like the idea of bolting it through and recessing the heads from underneath.

    Installing tiller extension

    I just bought a Ronstan Battlestick telescoping tiller extension and it didn't come with any hardware or instructions for installation. Is it supposed to come with the hardware? DO I use screws to go into the tiller or nuts and bolts? What size, diameter? Thanks Janina

    Replace mainsheet cam cleat with hexaratchet?

    I've used the spring before when I had a laser. It works ok but as others have said, sometimes the mainsheet gets stuck on it. MY understanding is that the rubber boot acts like a spring. We'll see when I get it :) I'm hoping that the eyestrap will work for mine because frankly I was just too...

    Replace mainsheet cam cleat with hexaratchet?

    I knew you removed the swivel base. I was just wondering what size eyestrap you got that allowed you to use the existing holes in the deck from the swivel base. I just placed the order and I got the Harken H281 Micro eyestrap. I also ordered the medium standup boot from APS and the carbo...

    Replace mainsheet cam cleat with hexaratchet?

    I'm assuming you used the medium "boot" from APS instead of the spring?

    Rigging a Super Porpoise and getting parts

    I just aquired a 1973 super porpoise. I have no idea how to get this thing rigged up and the previous owner was not a sailor and didn't really know what they were talking about. The boat pretty much needs all new lines, cleats? etc. It's also missing the drain plug, rudder pin and the mast has...
