Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

Toddedger's choice may suit you well. My LED bow lights that replaced the original Perko lights (shown in photo) were made by Whitside Lights (UK),- flush mount # S-918 LED, but I can't find them...

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

Joe, I recently replaced the entire "tear-drop" shaped running light fixtures that contained very bright LEDs and perfectly matched the original Perko lights. I'll need to look at my log to find the...

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

It's true that the Morgan Out Islands were designed with the charter trade in mind,- specifically the Caribbean and the Bahamas; however, these charter companies did not keep any of their fleet in...

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

You'll be able to track down your Hull Identification Number that begins with MRY.... if you know your year and hull number which are numbers included within the HIN. You'll likely find the Hull...

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

You're likely right in thinking that the line could chafe and eventually need replacing; however, the steel cable could "saw" it's way into a softer metal at the through-hull fittings. 'maybe bronze...

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

Now, with a clear picture of the centerboard, I would not go to the trouble of changing the line as the board seems relatively light compared to lead centerboards. If a change in the line is needed,...

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

'always great to hear of innovation! I'll look forward to seeing this photo. Maybe I'll see you and your boat sometime in New Bern. Did you keep the name "Times Square"?

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

Interesting,- If this has been done, then it must have been done to jwcolby's boat. I doubt if it's been done twice! I can imagine how the idea could evolve from looking at the Dutch boats with the...

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

I have another clue! The 7'1" number on the Coast Guard's "Science & Technology" site is for the hull depth. This does not represent the draft of the vessel, but instead it's the distance from the...

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

The black cleat at the companionway and the wood block in front of the flywheel in the engine room look like "aftermarket" additions from a previous owner. That's definitly a centerboard in your...

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

I'm just not understanding the "tiny little string". If you have a centerboard, then it's likely heavily weighted to drop when the lifting cable is slackened and then raised with this same cable on...

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

I don't recall the hull number for my Out Island 33', but the 1973 and maybe '74 Morgans had the hull number stamped on the plate at the aft end of the boom and the number is also incorporated within...

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

Ideally, and by design with the perfect rig tuning, the mast would come right down to the step without touching anything; however, some movement is expected. Traditionally people used wooden wedges...

Re: Morgan 33 Out Island Owners?

My wife and I moved from our first liveaboard sailboat to a Morgan Out Island 33 in 1973 and cruised it until 1985. Our children were then 7 & 9 years old so we moved to our current 1973 Morgan OI...
