Macgregorsailors.org » MacGregorSailors.com • View topic - Stern Seats Macgregorsailors.org AWKIII wrote:We have been selling stern rail seats for the 26M for about 8 years now. The package is on sale right now for just $395.00. I have the standard 8 gal fuel tanks on my 2002 26X. I don't like fighting with them to get them in and out under the seats (especially when they are full).
I would like to pose a question to the forum. (and hopefully some of the Macgregor family might weigh in). If one were to design the perfect hybrid powersailor boat unconstrained by market affordability cost concerns, what would it look like.
Totally new to trailering but not new to sailing. I recently purchased a 26M. The trailer that it came with is not in good shape.
One of the lug nuts is missing. Is this something I can find at an auto parts store? Also, the lug bolt is stripped, would I able to force a nut thru the bad thread? There is significant rust on the wheels. Is this something I should sand and repaint or should I get new wheels and tires? The current tires look like 15' - 5 bolt pattern bias tires.
Should I replace with radial or bias tires? If I replace the wheels, would it be worth it to get aluminum to prevent future corrosion? There was rust near the tongue of the trailer as well. The rust may be 1/8th to 1/16th inch thick on the bottom of the tongue. Is that something that I can sand off and repaint?
I have an Acura MDX which is rated to tow 5000 pounds with a 3500 lbs rated hitch. Is the hitch adequate?

Check all the rest of your lugs carefully. If the wheel came loose, then they could all be chewed up.
It would be a good idea to wirebrush, sand, and repaint the wheels. I think I would use Rust-oleum of similar. Get the tires off and check the inside of the wheels. I just did mine and was surprised at how little rust there was. I replaced my tires (tyres here in the UK) with radial trailer tires rated to the load I am carrying. Rust is a big problem on trailers. I don't know how to check this on yours, as I have an aluminum trailer.
Check it carefully before you tow though.others on here will know how. Congrats on the purchase. I hope you love your as much as I love mine!!!

Rust can be a major problem on older steel trailers, especially on the tongue. There have been problems with older trailers that have been immersed in salt water. Also, be certain to get tires that are designed for trailers. You can check the age of the tires to see if they should be replaced.

Bluewater Yachts (BWY) sells both studs and nuts for the OEM trailer, just so you know. They're the main go-to source for all things MacGregor, and an advertiser here, by the way.

I would NOT, however, attempt to just force a nut onto that damaged stud. That's a big load on a 5 on 4-1/2 pattern (5 lugs on a 4-1/2' circle) - anything more goes to a 6-bolt or a larger circle. You need all five of those studs working. You can get nuts at any auto parts or trailer store, but the studs may be a little odd (or so I've heard). It's easiest to drive the old out and the new in using a shop press - others can comment as to the practicality of using a hammer, as I've never tried that.
