    Wax recommendations?

    Thanks! Thanks to all of you who posted to this thread. It's great to be able to come this forum and have others share their experiences with those of us who are not as experienced in the "care and feeding" of the C-14.2! I would have never, ever thought that waxing the hull would induce drag :o

    Wax recommendations?

    I Still Learn Something New Every Day! QUOTE: "Whatever you do, don't bother waxing your boat's wetted surfaces. You won't see them when it's in the water, and wax induces drag." I would never suggest that someone might be trying to blow a little smoke up my skirt :D, but I really would like...

    Mast support while trailering boat

    Stowing the Boom Chris, I use the bolt thru the tabernacle and run it thru the hole in the goose neck. I rest the other end of the boom on the tie down strap and loosely tie a short rope around the boom and strap for a little additional security. Some folks rest the back end of the boom on the...

    Topping Lift, No! Boom Kicker, Si! Hello Drew! What you are talking about is called a topping lift. This is a small rope line that is attached to the top of the mast and goes through a cheek block mounted to one side (aft) of the boom and then cleated about midway down the boom. It works ok...

    How Funny! Oh well, maybe the dealer has learned not to overfill the crankcase in the future. I think you will be very pleased with the Honda 2hp now! Best regards and send some of that rain to North East Texas. The lake levels are getting low around here! chris...

    I Think Your Dealer is Incompetent, but Right! Hey Chris! Sorry you are having problems with the OB. Your quote: "According to the dealer it is possible that they put too much oil in it, but I don't buy that excuse -- I can see an air bubble way up towards the top of the gauge, I think the oil...

    Batten Storage

    I like to remove the battens from the main before folding the sail and stuffing it and the battens in the sail bag. Being an orderly kind of guy I have been keeping them together with a rubber band which get misplaced almost every time I remove it to reinsert the battens. While doing some...
