John ES I sent you a PM about parts. Ricardo.

We use the Aluminum pins also, we remove them every year and then white grease them every spring and good for the summer. Same for the cams grease ev...

Great stuff now I know what to call everything. Adjuster VS rake eye bolt. Thanks again, Ricardo.

KLOZ you are close, it not how many dogs on the porch it is how many under the porch. Porch is for whitling and old sofas. Cheers Ricardo.

Anyone have a big diagram of what everything is and where it goes so I know what I am missing? Thanks in advance, Richard.

Smoking deal, wish it was closer, Ricardo.

The older rudders do not use the cam mechanism and are hard to lock down and harder to get up. They have a metal sort of cam and they just do not wor...

No and not sure. Any 86 and up boat will have that set up, so if you can find it used it should cost less. HTH, Richard.

Thanks John, I may contact you as I am peiceing the thing together. I have a hooter on the boat now and no issues with the rudders except the pivmati...

I got most of the parts from a 2000 Nacra 570 (I think). Sorry for the terminology mix up, I was more concerned about making it clear old vs new. I ...

If I remember correctly that is a yellow prism pattern. I have the blue prism on my 18. I do not know of any for sale but check ebay they show up n...

We would all like to see the box, anyone have pix? Richard.

Does anyone think this would work on a 5.5? the stock rudder system on a Nacra sucks, I know some love it but after 20 years on Hobie rudders this ol...

Dave thanks for the reply. What you say makes a lot of sense. I think next real step is to get a day where there is light wind and set everything up...

Wolfman, I may have an explanation. The water is too HARD there most of the year (LOL). Do you get a lot of ice boats? Cheers Ricardo.

I built my own double stack trailer in 1992. The frame of the trailer has to be strong enough for both boats, as do the axles and tires. Sorry no pi...

Removing a hooter and replaceing it with a soft spin. There is a reason, I find the hooter not to be as good as a spinnaker. Not getting rid of it u...

Great advice, keep it coming. I guess I am going to have to get the spinnaker out and put it on a pole and see what the triangles look like. Any n...

I have not decided anything on the hooter yet, I need to see what the kite works like first. Ricardo.

We have used Sno Bowl for years to take scum off. It is a mild acid so be careful. We clean the boat and then if we can power wash it to rinse it. ...

It is one of the things to do before you kick the bucket. Which means before you die you want to do a list of things. Hence bucket list. HTH, Ricar...
