Recently bought a ‘05 26M. Looking for help in initially setting up & running lines on boat. Previous owner health issues couldn’t help. I want to make sure boat is proper before hitting the water.....
I’m in the Auburn area... Thanks

Going to try a few local, mellow lakes. Rollins Lake and Scott’s Flat Lake.
I would appreciate your help in correctly rigging and setting up boat....

I’m a new member here, restricting PM for 24 hrs. You can send your contact info of choice to me: marcdenzin@gmail.com
My days off from work are Sun-Mon...
I am flexible those days to meet. Boat currently on trailer here. I’ve got mast raised. I’ve attached boom, but never raised main sail. Self furling jib unfurled a bit, I’ve got it bungeed to headstay. Haven’t ran motor yet (it has 78 hrs and clean bill of health from outboard mechanic) or electronic chart (Lowrance Elite 9)
I’ve got small solar charger on batteries, they always have 12.5 when I check battery switch. I can send you photos of anything you want to give you clear picture of boat and current situation. Thanks again for your help

12.5 volts seems kind of low for a fully topped off battery. It should be between 13.2 and 13.4 without a load and fully charged.
