If it were my boat, I would not hang it from the rails. They aren’t designed to hold equipment. I would mount it to the transom. Plenty of strength, even if it filled with water.

Maybe the alternator is not self-exciting until it reaches a higher rpm?

My IG 32 has an Autohelm 6000 hydraulic ram system attached to the rudder shaft. It works flawlessly.

That’s not cooler. That nuckin futz!

Where can you even find a used Sailrite machine?

My Mazda with a 2.0 skyactive gasoline engine has a 14.0:1 compression ratio.

That electric thing is a drill motor.

The Wyze cameras are 5vdc, which can adapt to 12vcd or 110ac.

Coincidence? I have read that the Covid-19 originated in Wuhan, China, where the only level 5 laboratory just happens to be. Coincidence?

Exhaust elbow?

On my IG 32, a valve knee high on the console is for the windshield washer.

They are salvageable My four 31M-AGM 100ah batteries were deeply drained (less than 2vdc)when I left her in Pensacola last summer. I put them on a slow charge as recommended by Interstate Batteries. They are fully functional with minimal damage.

It appears that the self-exciting alternator didn’t excite. If you rev up that engine, say up to 1600rpm, does that get the voltage meter increasing? Is there a wire to the alternator for exciting? Maybe connected to an oil pressure switch?

I have a Raymarine RD218 radar unit that was damaged by Hurricane Irma. It appears that a power surge or lightning strike blew out the starting capacitors. They are damaged too much to determine was size that they were. My options are, 1. Replace capacitors, hoping that nothing downstream is...

When is your departure date? I have a trawler @ GTB and live in St Louis. I may be able to get fuel to you when you reach St Louis. Let me know.

I agree. Keep it simple S.......

I am currently winterizing my IG32 at Green Turtle Bay. Since Seasoned was in the Everglades for the past 2 or more decades, she doesn’t like the “pink stuff.” The Marina is now blowing out the dock water lines. Welcome to Winter❄️

Since Irma blewout all of the electronics on my new boat, I utilized my iPad running Navionics with Raymarine WiFi chartplotter/sonar to overlay sonar and depth for a 1400 trek from Goodland FL to Green Turtle Bay. They worked flawlessly.

During a haulout for bottom job, thru-hull valves and ither items, I had the cutlass bearing replaced. It was not necessary to pull the shaft nor drop the rudder. 1/2” was cut from the log, a setup made to pull the old bearing. Easy Peasy. I’ll try to post a photo of the setup

Trip down the Tenn-Tom Congratulations, Vadim, on your new acquisition. I, too, bought an IG this year, an 1984 IG32 with a single SP135. Picked it up in the Everglades taking it to Pensacola for a haul-out during July. Then brought it up the Tenn-Tom mid-August to GTB. I may have passed you...

I’m preparing to do a haul out on a newly purchased IG 32 #45 for a bottom job and thru hulls. How are the valves attached to the hull? Are they threaded since these aren’t bolted in place? I need to remove these to rebuild them as they do not close. Also, is there but one cutlass bearing on the...

I have great confidence and success with Navionics HD. I used it to transit from Marco Island to Pensacola. It performed flawlessly and the Raymarine Dragonfly WiFi sonar overlayed so they were displayed.
