Ron,

If you're referring to the throttle arm I had the same problem.  I tried
tightening it several times but it kept coming loose.  I eventually just
tied a line around it.  Doesn't look too good but it works.  I tied the
motor to the boat which looks even worse.  I can't imagine the motor falling
off and if it did I'm not sure the line would help that much.

As for doing stupid things on boats I could write a book.  Once I thought my
mainsail furler was broken until I discovered I was standing on the outhaul
line.

When I first got my boat I thought sailing it was much easier and less scary
than trying to get the thing in and out of its slip.  The bigger the boat
the worse it is.  It's fun to watch some of the yachts at my marina try to
get their tankers back into their slips.  You don't see them doing it
singlehandedly.

I recommend drinking more.  The more you drink the more mistakes you'll make
and the more you'll learn from your mistakes.

Good luck!

I understand this to be correct, now.  I will take care of the situation
when I visit Ozone next time.  I'm glad no one was there to watch.  I felt
real stupid.  I guess I won't be the last guy to run aground.  I did had the
marina move me to a slip that is not so tight in which to maneuver.  Very
little room for Ozone to get in.  The folks in the marina are some of the
nicest I have every met.  The managers and staff are fantastic.  Best
customer service I have seen in a long time.

I posted some photos of the launch day on Flicker.  I really had a good time
out on the lake.  My family really loves Ozone.  My daughter has downs
syndrome and she simply loves being out on the boat.  Our standard poodle
really seemed relaxed as well. Her first time on a boat.

1) One more thing to add. You said "Slow".  You must have some speed
to manuever a sailboat and have it turn on that dime.  Water has to be
flowing past the rudder.  (I heard this in class but didn't learn it
'til later when I tried docking too slow).  You may need to come into
the slip with little more speed than you would like.  Have a helper
ready to jump over and get a line around a cleat to stop you...
2) Or hit the motor into reverse when you need to slow/stop.  All of
our lifts and motors are a little different but maybe you can raise
the motor substantially and get the handle clear but still have enough
prop in the water for docking (and in for the impeller to pick up
cooling water).
3) Be ready to toss an anchor if you are drifting to rocks, although
in this case you probably didn't have the time or distance to set it.

Practice....

John,

Pretty impressive--especially for the price.

I like Stan's bimini which is very similar to yours but I rarely use it for
my daysailing needs unless my wife is with me.  I like to stand while I'm
sailing and I think it would have been better for me had I installed it more
forward so that it would cover the crew and not me.

For the scorching days adrift without wind I think an adjustable umbrella
would have been fine:

Lee,

You'd be amazed but the rope on my motor held it sideways as it was falling 
off the motor mount and gave me a little more time for rescue. (Of course, 
it was still runnning sideways ! - it's the upright position that seems to 
impair it).

One other item you might want to consider is a different prop for your 
engine....

I have to do a 180 from the creek in tight quarters to get into my dock.?

I first head straight for the seawall, all of 15 yards away...I then turn 
?to head straight for the dock between the pilings, and then turn sharply to 
be parallel to the dock....I changed my prop to a high thrust prop...it 
enables me to carry a bit of speed while heading into the basin, and then 
bites hard when I need to make my turns...at the last few seconds I shift 
into neutral, coast in, make my last 90 deg turn to end up parallel to the 
dock, shift for a sec into reverse to stop. It does give my BF heart failure 
everytime I do this...he's convinced I'm going to hit the dock & he gets all 
bent trying to fend...which messes up the balance & my carefully calculated 
approach....;^)

?I still have my bow pulpit...so I guess the high thrust prop was the right 
thing to do.


Previous to replacing the prop i had to go much slower....so I could stop in 
time...but found that I then didn't carry enough speed to make my final turn 
& was hung halfway into the slip....between pilings.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list]  Launched Ozone Ouch!


Well we finally got Ozone launched this Sunday.? The weather up at Sandusky
BAy on Lake Erie was very nice.? I got the mast up with the help of Stan's
wonderful mast crane.? Quality equipment, BTW! I'm am not sure if I have the
shrouds tightened correctly or not.? At least the mast is straight with no
bends.

Motoring from the ramp to the marina took about 30 minutes.? The tiller felt
like I was handling a semi-truck; took much effort to steer, not sure why.
It wasn't hanging up on anything.? Bilges dry. No problems there.

The really disappointing part was getting her into her slip.? She didn't
respond to the tiller very well and I ended up on the rocks.? Fortunately,
the bilges are still dry.? The rudder has portions of paint missing, but
other than that I see no damage to it.? The diamond board hit the rocks,
too, but still functions ok.? I was going very slow, BTW.? I guess I just
need to get used to the boat and practice, practice and practice some more.
I had the marina move me to a slip away from the rocks and more room to
maneuver.? I feel very foolish and could kick myself for blemishing my sweet
girl.

Part of my problem was trying to move the motor and tiller in the same
direction to make sharp turns.? The motor handle is blocked by the motor
mount.? I tried making turns without moving the motor but the turns were not
sharp enough to get into the slip with the space I had.? I don't know if you
could give me suggestions.

If there are any Rhodies in the area of Sandusky Ohio, I would like to ask
if someone could take a look at my mast rigging to see if I did it right.

I will learn, I just hope not to do it at the expense of my sweet girl.? I
looked real foolish in the marina; not on the lake where I did just fine of
course.

I agree with Stan in his owner's manual - his method and equipment is idiot
proof, the boat that is not necessarily the person at the helm.

I'm in agreement with Lee.  We all could write books about the stupid things 
we've done.  And drinking definitely helps.  You either make more mistakes 
that you learn from or you forget about them and move on. It does sound like 
rudder position might be an issue here.  If the rudder is not locked down 
fully forward your steering will be compromised. - rob

I do believe it was the rudder.  I know that I did not do anything but drop
it down into the water.  I will fix this when I visit Ozone next time.

butterchurn ,
    Here are some pictures of the "bimini room I made for "Cruzan The
Rhodes". I used rip stop nylon and it just goes over the bimini top, It's
quick and east to put up and take done.

Well we finally got Ozone launched this Sunday.  The weather up at Sandusky
BAy on Lake Erie was very nice.  I got the mast up with the help of Stan's
wonderful mast crane.  Quality equipment, BTW! I'm am not sure if I have the
shrouds tightened correctly or not.  At least the mast is straight with no
bends.

Motoring from the ramp to the marina took about 30 minutes.  The tiller felt
like I was handling a semi-truck; took much effort to steer, not sure why.
It wasn't hanging up on anything.  Bilges dry. No problems there.

The really disappointing part was getting her into her slip.  She didn't
respond to the tiller very well and I ended up on the rocks.  Fortunately,
the bilges are still dry.  The rudder has portions of paint missing, but
other than that I see no damage to it.  The diamond board hit the rocks,
too, but still functions ok.  I was going very slow, BTW.  I guess I just
need to get used to the boat and practice, practice and practice some more.
I had the marina move me to a slip away from the rocks and more room to
maneuver.  I feel very foolish and could kick myself for blemishing my sweet
girl.

Part of my problem was trying to move the motor and tiller in the same
direction to make sharp turns.  The motor handle is blocked by the motor
mount.  I tried making turns without moving the motor but the turns were not
sharp enough to get into the slip with the space I had.  I don't know if you
could give me suggestions.

If there are any Rhodies in the area of Sandusky Ohio, I would like to ask
if someone could take a look at my mast rigging to see if I did it right.

I will learn, I just hope not to do it at the expense of my sweet girl.  I
looked real foolish in the marina; not on the lake where I did just fine of
course.

I agree with Stan in his owner's manual - his method and equipment is idiot
proof, the boat that is not necessarily the person at the helm.

Ron,

With the IMF, you just need to hand tighten the shrouds.  An extension for
your motor tiller will help you maneuver the boat in the marina.

The odd behavior of the boat is just that, odd.  Did you have the Rudder all
the way down (vertical) and secured with the line so it would not work its
way up?  The boat should turn on a dime even using only the rudder.
Curious.

Make sure the rudder is down as far as it goes, it is even a little bit
forward. It wilhandle like a sports car. Elton pointed that out to me years
ago. I will turn on a dime.

I agree with Chris...I doubt the rudder blade was completely down.

Hey guy,

Everyone has some rocky days.  I have sometimes found motor and rudder at
cross-purposes, especially if I want to be in a hurry.  Just work at being
slow and deliberate, always watching for the potential "escape" from danger.

The labored rudder control has me stumped.  Be mindful of the position of
the rudder blade.  If not vertical and fully down it will become tough.  If
you let it be in the near-horizontal position, steerage will be nearly
impossible.  This may have been the issue.  Of course, if the blade is not
fully down, it will compete with the prop, and it will lose the contest...

If you send a picture of the transom from in back, I may be able to suggest
a simple rudder to motor linkage.  The sailing season is young!

Best to you,

Art

Have a nice day!

The rudder responds best when deployed fully down to the point where the
rudder blade is partially forward of the pivot point for the rudder.

Let's try this again,

Hello all here is my humble solution to the Bimini. Materials include a
8'X10' tarp 5 1/2" PVC poles 10' long 6 90* Ells 12 45* Ells 4 1/4 X 2"
eyehooks and a dozen bungie cords. Place 3 PVC poles in 8' pickup bed and
leave in sun for a week. Loops for tarp can be made on a standard sewing
machine. Assemble according to picts provided and you'll figure it out. The
overhang is good for rainy nights. This Idea could also work with a 10' X

I had a similar problem when I took Second Wind out for the first time
solo. I have the attachment connecting the tiller to the motor. My
problem was that the motor handle in the down position was blocked by
the motor mount (as you pointed out). I raised the motor handle to a
straight upright position and that solved the problem. It did take a
while to figure out what was limiting the tiller. Had there been rocks,
I would have been on them. I now check to see if the motor arm is up
before I back out of the slip. I hope your solution is this simple. Joe

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Launched Ozone Ouch!


Well we finally got Ozone launched this Sunday. The weather up at
Sandusky
BAy on Lake Erie was very nice. I got the mast up with the help of
Stan's
wonderful mast crane. Quality equipment, BTW! I'm am not sure if I have
the
shrouds tightened correctly or not. At least the mast is straight with
no
bends.

Motoring from the ramp to the marina took about 30 minutes. The tiller
felt
like I was handling a semi-truck; took much effort to steer, not sure
why.
It wasn't hanging up on anything. Bilges dry. No problems there.

The really disappointing part was getting her into her slip. She didn't
respond to the tiller very well and I ended up on the rocks.
Fortunately,
the bilges are still dry. The rudder has portions of paint missing, but
other than that I see no damage to it. The diamond board hit the rocks,
too, but still functions ok. I was going very slow, BTW. I guess I just
need to get used to the boat and practice, practice and practice some
more.
I had the marina move me to a slip away from the rocks and more room to
maneuver. I feel very foolish and could kick myself for blemishing my
sweet
girl.

Part of my problem was trying to move the motor and tiller in the same
direction to make sharp turns. The motor handle is blocked by the motor
mount. I tried making turns without moving the motor but the turns were
not
sharp enough to get into the slip with the space I had. I don't know if
you
could give me suggestions.

If there are any Rhodies in the area of Sandusky Ohio, I would like to
ask
if someone could take a look at my mast rigging to see if I did it
right.

I will learn, I just hope not to do it at the expense of my sweet girl.
I
looked real foolish in the marina; not on the lake where I did just
fine of
course.

I agree with Stan in his owner's manual - his method and equipment is
idiot
proof, the boat that is not necessarily the person at the helm.

Let's try this again,

Hello all here is my humble solution to the Bimini. Materials include a
8'X10' tarp 5 1/2" PVC poles 10' long 6 90* Ells 12 45* Ells 4 1/4 X 2"
eyehooks and a dozen bungie cords. Place 3 PVC poles in 8' pickup bed and
leave in sun for a week. Loops for tarp can be made on a standard sewing
machine. Assemble according to picts provided and you'll figure it out. The
overhang is good for rainy nights. This Idea could also work with a 10' X
10' kitchen fly to cover the whole cockpit and provide insect cover.

I understand this to be correct, now.  I will take care of the situation
when I visit Ozone next time.  I'm glad no one was there to watch.  I felt
real stupid.  I guess I won't be the last guy to run aground.  I did had the
marina move me to a slip that is not so tight in which to maneuver.  Very
little room for Ozone to get in.  The folks in the marina are some of the
nicest I have every met.  The managers and staff are fantastic.  Best
customer service I have seen in a long time.

I posted some photos of the launch day on Flicker.  I really had a good time
out on the lake.  My family really loves Ozone.  My daughter has downs
syndrome and she simply loves being out on the boat.  Our standard poodle
really seemed relaxed as well. Her first time on a boat.

charset="us-ascii" The odd behavior of the boat is just that, odd. Did you 
have the Rudder all the way down (vertical) and secured with the line so it 
would not work its way up? The boat should turn on a dime even using only 
the rudder. Curious. Chris G -----Original Message----- !

charset=us-ascii Hey guy, Everyone has some rocky days. I have sometimes 
found motor and rudder at cross-purposes,
especially if I want to be in a hurry. Just work at being slow !
and deliberate, always watching for the potential "escape" from danger. The 
labored rudder control has me stumped. Be mindful of the position of the 
rudder blade. If not vertical and fully down it will become tough. If you 
let it be in the near-horizontal position, steerage will be nearly 
impossible. This may have been the issue. Of course, if the blade is not 
fully down, it will compete with the prop, and it will lose the contest... 
If you send a picture of the transom from in back, I may be able to suggest 
a simple rudder to motor linkage. The sailing season is young! Best to you, 
Art Have a nice day! On Apr 30, 2012, at 5:21 PM, butterchurn

Let's try this again, Hello all here is my humble solution to the!
  Bimini. Materials include a 8'X10' tarp 5 1/2" PVC poles 10' long 6 90* 
Ells 12 45* Ells 4 1/4 X 2" eyehooks and a dozen bungie cords. Place 3 PVC 
poles in 8' pickup bed and leave in sun for a week. Loops for tarp can be 
made on a standard sewing machine. Assemble according to picts provided and 
you'll figure it out. The overhang is good for rainy nights. This Idea could 
also work with a 10' X 10' kitchen fly to cover the whole cockpit and 
provide insect cover. http://old.nabble.com/file/p33763326/DSC_0013.jpeg

raised the motor hand!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I understand this to be correct, 
now. I will take care of the situation when I visit Ozone next time. I'm 
glad no one was there to watch. I felt real stupid. I guess I won't be the 
last guy to run aground. I did had the marina move me to a slip that is not 
so tight in which to maneuver. Very little room for Ozone to get in. The 
folks in the marina are some of the nicest I have every met. The managers 
and staff are fantastic. Best customer service I have seen in a long time. I 
posted some photos of the launch day on Flicker. I really had a good time 
out on the lake. My family really loves Ozone. My daughter has downs 
syndrome and she simply loves being out on the !
boat. Our standard poodle really seemed relaxed as well. Her first time on a 
boat. Ron -- View this message in context:
