Hi all,
I was interested in the times posted re: setting up your M15. I haven't really
timed myself . When does the timing start? From the moment you park in the
lot at the launch ramp? Because at that point you are disconnecting the
trailer lights, removing all tie downs from boat to trailer. Setting motor on
the motor mount and stowing all the gear that needs to be moved to the boat
from the vehicle. Or do you start timing from the moment you board the boat
and begin raising the mast, and attaching the rigging? I would think that
acurate timing would mean from time you arrive at the ramp til you actually
launch into the water. I never leave my main attached to the boom, with it
being loose footed, it doesn't seem to save much time. I also am unable to get
the boom into the cabin so I stow it on top of the mast secured with bunge's,
it rides well there, rode from GA to Utah with no problems.
Thanks to Steve for the metal to metal information. All new to me but very
valuable. And thanks to those who have responded regarding the set up of the
jiffy reefing. I have all the parts on order and will be making that install
very soon. West Marine has an anti seizing product, but it is not the one you
guys recommended. Where do you get the Permatec product?
Time for a cool change!
