Yam 25 Mk II Boom

[Syntonos]

Numbers !

Wow, you've got the numbers down and did some serious digging for the bilge pump parts. You can thank BOB at Yamahasailboats.org. for the wealth of knowledge we Yamaha owners have now. back in 2005 there was nothing on the internet about Yamaha sailboats. His site used this forum to compare notes, and we've covered a lot of territory over the years.

I use to have a 130/50 (don't really remember) on the boat and it defiantly overpowered the boat and produced a lot of weather helm also. One day I took it in to repair the UV strip. By chance I asked about a headsail and they had a brand new 110% sail that a customer backed out of with the perfect luff for my boat for cost. Even though it wasn't cut for the boat it was a BIG improvement. That 's what prompted me to go for the new sails designed for the boat. It was clear the main was way past it's prime and needed to catch up to the headsails performance. Sometimes less is more.

Remember to look at your rig dimensions and tension also, it all adds up. There are lots of furlers out there - you'll love the convenience

cheers

I will post pics of my bilge pump once it is installed. I have decided to get some ailt time in this Saturday sine we have had some unseasonably warm weather. On Sunday, I will remove my boom and have it cut during the week besides doing a whole bunch of other things, like tightening my stays.

My mast height is in line with the Yam 25 specs but the measurement to top boom edge makes it accommodate a Mk II sail.

I looked up the boomkicker and the model you have. I'm sold, man. Looks like I could install it myself too, without any major issues. Am looking up the furler.

YEs, the Yamahasailboats.org site has a lot of information and this owners forum is a godsend. From time to time I drool for the 36' or even the 33", but I will maximize this boat and keep it for my kids.
