New Garelick 71057 Motor Bracket

A few things accomplished over the last few weeks:

1. Purchased new jib sheets from Milwaukee Rigging (30ft lengths 5/16 Sta-Set)


2. Removed chainplates and prepped for epoxy.


3. Removed old shrouds and stays from mast.


4. Installed new motor bracket.

Some specs from Garelick's website:

71057: H.P. Rating: Over 7 1/2 to 20 Motor Weight Not to Exceed: 115 lbs. Vertical Travel*: 11 1/4” (29cm) Mtg. Pad: Poly Mounting Board Dimensions W x H x T: 11 1/2” x 10 3/4” x 2” (29 x 27 x 5cm) Mounting Brkt Dimensions W x H: 5 1/4” x 9” (13 x 23cm)

The goal is to have it moored by the end of the month so I have some busy weekends ahead. As the days pass I am really getting excited, bring on some sailing!
