I used a PH8A on my old LM318. Prowlerfish is right, the PH8 is longer than the PH43. They both can be used, though if you can fit the PH8 I'd choose that one

I can e-mail you a copy of the wiring diagrams for an F-26 (1975 Model year) It shows how the wires were run through the boat and also a diagram of the fuse panel. If you'd like them, shoot me a PM with your e-mail and I'll send them to you

I've had my F-26 in 4-6' seas that were about 3-5 seconds apart. It was an extremely wet ride to say the least, had to go about 30 miles. The boat handled it OK, no major problems. In a following sea though it definitely kept me on my toes! Not something I want to experience too many more times. Tho...

I had some black specs in my non-skid on the foredeck. I used tide with bleach (Powdered) with a stiff scrub brush. It took care of it and made the non-skid look great. Beware though it will remove wax. I learned this through a conversation with a boat detailer at the Norwalk boat show.

Welcom Neal,
You might want to give Marine Tech a call: (717) 684-4145. They might be able to assist. I can try and take photos and measurments off of mine when I can get to the boat. Probably won't be until this Sat. Good luck,
Matt

Thats a pretty good story behind the name. Your canvas guy did do a nice job on your aft curtain. I agree with you that it's difficult coming up with a name for the boat, and yep they do have their "own" personality. It took me 2 yrs to come up with a name for my boat, and it pretty much f...

I do think Prowlerfish and Randy are correct about the 1:1 Almost looks identical to my old setup which was a 1:1 Chuck, I hope everything turned out OK with your surgery and wish you a speedy recovery

I've seen this boat on Boat Trader, it was owned by a marine mechanic and supposedly is in good condition. It doesn't deserve a chain saw :(
