I did take the hose off of the water outlet of the manifold and ran it into a bucket. Had about 2 gallons in a minute or so of running at 1,000 rpm. I don't think there is any way for me to get to the side plate off without pulling the galley sink and cabinets off. I will try that drain...

1. I have not tried that plug but that sounds like a good place to start. 2. I removed a couple of the hoses and they looked good but I plan on checking them all. I did have a steady stream out of the manifold when I pulled that one so I thought that would mean the rest must be good. 3. The...

Hello, Looking for a used or good deal on a new standpipe exhaust for my atomic 4.

Just when I had my A4 running like a top she has blessed me with another mystery problem. Here is the rundown: Last week I was heading out for a quick little ride. On my way out of the harbor my boat started acting strange and engine speed started fluctuating (around 1500-1700rpm.) All of a...

Are there really no options out there? I can't be the first guy thats needed to replace a rub rail on one of these boats but the lack of response has me worried.

Hello. My boat was sitting at the dock when someone came by at high speed and the wake rocked my boat pretty good and broke off a chunk of my rub rail and the end cap. I realize that factory replacements are unavailable but does anyone have a good aftermarket source? I can't seem to find one...

Beautiful Ludington, MI!

Thanks Loren, I've been searching multiple sources. This boat must have rig dimensions that aren't quite as standard as some of the others. Unfortunately I saw some posted on here a day or two after they sold. I'll have to be more diligent about checking back.

Bump.... :)

Bump. Still looking.

I am looking for a 120-130% genoa for my 1971 E32. Would prefer that it is already seat up for a furler, #6. Please let me know what you have.

I would be way more concerned about something letting loose on a hang glider than I would be on my standing rigging.

Well it looks like today is the day. I will make the 4 hour trip to where I store it. I will winterize it this weekend and it will be hauled out on Monday.

I don't cover mine. It is a boat after all and is designed to be out in the elements. I do go out in the spring and try to knock as much of the snow and ice off as I can when it starts to melt. I thought about a custom cover but they are about $2,500.

Well us freshwater folks have a little problem we call ice. The ice in the harbor where I am freezes solid up to a couple feet thick.
