Had no idea that was a drain plug! Man I feel dumb.....but disaster averted, I got the water out though the deck plug. How would I go about an air test? But a deepwell 36mm then hey? Mystery solved, thanks everyone that's why I love this board!

I tried a 1 1/8" that was too small and 1" 7/16 was too big so im guessing it's a inch and 5/16 but thats not right either so I tried metric and that didn't work. The hex head isn't damaged or stripped, it's in perfect shape so I am at a loss here.

So I discovered yesterday that my hull has a fair amount of water in it, big problem but even bigger with the freezing Michigan winter coming fast. The only place I would guess it came in at is though the base o-ring of the old metal bailer. I was in the middle of trying to replace the bailer...

Sweet video dude! I'm a big boy too and it sure can be helpful at times on a fish lol

I finally had wind to work with today, nearly identical conditions to when I made the original post. I ended up in a similar spot once but I remembered what was said here and got out of it no problem, a little advice goes a long ways :). Thanks for the tips everyone! But as has been said I think...

One thing I think that hurts me a bit in a sunfish is all my prior experience with sailing is on a Hobie 16 and all the verbal advice, tips and tricks I know (outside what I've read on here) is from my dad who is a seasoned H16/H14 sailor. I am trying to run courses on a Sunfish like I'm on a...

Sounds like I was on the right track by grabbing the boom And pushing into the wind past the center line, I didn't hold it there real long because the boat didn't seem to react much. After seeing all the replies, what may have doomed that attempt was while I had my rudder turned the right way...

I took my fish out for the third time ever two days ago and I had the most frustrating experience I've ever had on the water. I'll do my best to describe what was going on so a maybe a more experienced fish sailor can tell me what went wrong so I can not have this happen again. So at the lake...

Wow wouldn't have guessed it was that old, thanks everyone! Now question is is this in the Pre HIN era? I had a old Jon boat from the 50s that was not issued on so the good ole Michigan SS cut me a break and issued me tags without one. Granted that boat had MC numbers from back in the day still...

Serial number is 63182

It has the newer style rudder I was told by someone who would know

Hi all, Been using as many of the resources on here but I'm stumped once more. I can't find the HIN on my boat. It's not on the transom and I can find no other tag besides the one by the splash guard or obvious remnants of where one was. I need the HIN for registration purposes as it has never...

This is what I have, I am having second thoughts on replacing it, at least right now. What am I lacking? I think just the plug itself

O-rings ok on the ball assembly? Just run a bead around the edge of the bailer housing in the bottom of the boat?

Hi all, My on going craigslist project is moving forward, now I need to replace the bailer. I picked up a full kit plastic one today and I just wanted some input on it. I think I understand how to get the old metal one off but what I am wondering is when putting the new one on is there any...

What great info here by all of you! Thank you all very much! Sounds like I have the block for the job just need a few other parts but I have the part numbers now so this should be no sweat. I think I'll try the hook alone first, just to see what that's like since the upgrade doesn't sound like...

Anyone got a photo of this set up rigged and ready to sail?

I'm thinking its a Harken 019

For a size reference

Thanks for the replies! What a relief I didn't have a odd ball! I did some digging though my the surplus sailing stuff in the shed and found a Harken ratchet block, have a look. It has a selector to go from ratchet to free spin, guessing its left over from my dads Lightning. Would need the...
