Hi Y'all,
With the boat on the hard and the mast down (Thanks for encouraging me on
the mast un-stepping, it was a quick and easy deal). I found a few
skeletons in the closet..
The easy one
The LED anchor light is shot, I'll replace it with a nice Tricolor, here's
what I have in mind: http://www.transmarinestore.com/product_p/sm001.htm
It's a bit pricey but it looks top notch and would save the batteries when
sailing in the dark. I'm thinking about getting the 2 wires unit with the
reversing switch. Any reason I should rewire for 3 wires?
The potentially expensive one..
The boat currently has a MkII unit 1 that has seen better days, one of the
foils is shot (Twist and rip) some prior owner probably did the ol' halyard
wrap trick. A couple others are bent in an "S" shape.. (Probably a
spinnaker boom hit) and the torque tube is shot.
So now I am looking for a used Harken MkIII Unit 1 Reefer or parts for my
MKII Unit 1
The parts I need are:
Torque Tube (Must Have)
Hub assembly (Nice to have)
2-3 sections of foil (Must Have)
Otherwise I would just buy a complete used MKIII unit 1 kit in good
condition.
If anyone can give me some leads as to where to find that it would be much
appreciated. I've already done an email blast to the consignment usual
suspects and I have called Harken in hopes of finding some re-man stuff but
the guy is out today.
Spending $2,500.00 + on a new unit is out of the question for this year
as I am already spending kilobucks on the bottom job, electronics, running
rigging, etc, etc.
I need this in the next couple weeks while she's still on the hard..
Thanks in advance.
