The forums and mailing lists are a separate issue. Most members just use the
mailing list as it the least bandwidth when you are at remote location and
actually have to pay for each word on the internet:)
You can search the mailing lists by visiting the mailing list tab on the main
site. The search only gives you a synopsys of the results. When you click on
individual msgs you will need to provide your mailing
list credentials which you can request/reset through the mailling list as
well. There is a lin on that page as well that allows your to reset your pwd:

Hello all,
For some reason I am having issues with the scoaa net site. I can’t seem to
find the forums and I can’t seem to find the old posts.
Anyway I have a 1997 Seawind 1000 with the original motors. I am needing to
replace them and was hoping I could find information but I don’t seem able. I
am in the USA and recall that perhaps we have different options than what is
available in Australia. I am assuming the Yamaha model is the T9.9. I had also
saved a post about a member who re-powered with Honda 20’s. I was wondering
what others may have done and their thoughts on the matter. My reading tells me
that my original yamaha’s had a gearing such as to make them more powerful. I
am planning on taking my Seawind from the San Francisco Bay Area around to
Florida and I like the thought of the gas sipping 9.9’s. My reservation is that
I bought the boat used in 2009 and always had problems with these engines and
my local repair guy here in Florida (where I have a small sloop with a 5 hp
Honda) tells me Honda’s are superior (granted he sells Honda’s).
Since I have your attention, I was also thinking of adding a second auto pilot
for redundancy, replacing parts of the rigging that are older, and maybe
upgrading the electronics as I think I have all original components.
I imagine the boat should be out of the water for the outboard install, is this
true? Any other upgrades I should be considering with a boat of this vintage? I
recently replaced the windows (wish I would of read the posts [that I can no
longer find] on the forum before I did this] and may need to redo at least the
front ones), tramps and lifelines replaced, new throttle cables and probably a
few other things I can’t recall now.
I am not sure when I will be bringing the boat over and most likely will need
to do it in stages so really only the motors need to be done now and the other
items I can stagger.
Thanks for your attention,
Eduardo
