    The Case of the Teeny Outboard

    Second Installment - Hokay ... after looking over both the motor and the transom of my Capri Omega 14, I decided to use a jackplate outboard bracket that the previous owner had given me when I purchased the boat. BTW ... this is a nice, 6 lb. cast aluminum two-piece bracket (one piece bolts...

    Outboard - what do I need?

    Nissan 3.5 Hiya Art ! Say ... I'm thinking about purchasing the same Nissan 3.5 hp two-stroke that you have. Did you get the 20" (long) shaft? Do you mount yours on the transom, or on a jack plate/kicker bracket? And can you tilt the motor out of the way once you are under sail ...

    The Case of the Teeny Outboard

    Ok ... after being stuck in the middle of a large Texas inland lake for the umpteenth time with no wind whatsoever, I began my search for auxillary power (sculling with the rudder is not a viable option - been there, done that). Weighing the pros and cons (and reading about them in this...

    First Time Setting up the Rigging = Miserable Failure

    Re: Easy trick for stepping the mast All - I rig & sail my Capri Omega 14 single-handed, and I've developed a neat trick to step the mast (I'm sure I'm not the first to figure this out ;) ) ... 1) Keep boat on trailer. 2) Attach shrouds to chainplates on either side. 3) Seat mast...
