Any suggestion about repairing small but deep gashes in the hull. Also what to
do about chipping on the edge or lip of the deck just above the hull . Just
took my boat out of the water for the winter. Doing some of the repairs I've
read about here.

I found pretty simple and satisfactory solutions to both these problems. I
take a small strip of rag about an inch wide and four inches long, wrap it
a couple of times around the centerboard rope and push it tight against the
blowhole. I get a bit of hissing but no water. Of course by the end of the
season the piece of rag could be mistaken for a biology experiment, but
rags are cheap.
For the stern drains I simply bought a couple of 85-cent corks at the
hardware store and stick them in before I leave the mooring. In the event I
take on serious water (has happened a couple of times) I can just kick them
out with my toe and things drain.

We came up with a pretty simple plug for the "blowhole" effect in the M17
by slicing a piece of 2 inch long rubber tubing (something like the black
rubber automotive fuel line tubing) which had an ID that was a tight fit
around the line used to draw up the keel and had an OD that was a snug fit
into the "blowhole". Actually, I trimmed a section of a piece of tubing
that was too large to fit in the hole down a bit so that it would not get
permanently stuck down in the hole. So all in all, it makes for a nice
gasket to keep the water out of the cockpit.
Having said all that, we still get water in the cockpit because even in a
mild chop water seems to flow in through the stern cockpit drain holes.
They have backflow prevention devices inline, but for some reason a trickle
will still flow through and after awhile there is around a half inch of
water sloshing around in the aft section of the cockpit. It does get above
this amount because then it starts draining back out. I was considering
installing some sort of ball valve shutoff for the two drain lines, but it
would be bad to forget to open them up and then get a serious amount of
water suddenly in the cockpit. :-(
Maybe the solution is to always wear heavy rubber boots...

As a M-15 (1981 vintage) owner who plans to place a mooring buoy this
spring, I've decided to mount a permanent boarding step/ladder. Any
recommendations, re product line(s), best model(s)? Thanks in
advance for whatever guidance folks might provide!

Steve,
Randy Graves has a nice ladder on his M17 that would be good on your 15,
too. Here's a copy of his message to someone else that was looking for a
ladder.
>Windline makes a 4-step folding ladder that was my choice for our M17.
See http://tinyurl.com/fvow7 for pictures. This ladder is used on the
Potter 19, and last I checked was only available for purchase through
International Marine. Here is the ladder listed for $160 on their web
site http://www.westwightpotter.com/content/MiniShopProduct.phtml?0/0/177
.
I have a similar Windline model from West Marine, but it only has 3
steps.
Larry

My ladder choice just arrived yesterday. Ebay has Windline TT-3X 3 step
ladders for $89.00 plus UPS of $16.00 CA to MI.
This is a "Buy it Now, multiple auction directly through the manufacturer.
They had six to sell of this model when I ordered mine last week, but I bet
they know how to get more.

There is already a yellow hulled Montgomery 15 in Port Townsend Wa. sporting
the name of Buttercup. I know there are lots of boats with the same name but
just thought I'd chime in on the chance that you might want to know.
