What a boat... Always wanted a 39B, but the stars are lining up worth a damn. Good luck

Maybe a couple of square feet right in front of the companionway. Probably the most trafficked spot on the boat. The only hardware involved is the fuel fill cap. That fitting is the whole reason I have the problem but what can a guy do?

John McVie of Fleetwood Mac was into sailing. He has been quoted talking about making several trips to Hawaii. Google turns that stuff up pretty easy. I've heard that Lorne Green used to sail in the San Francisco Bay Area, but have been unable to find any evidence.

I have a spongy deck in the cockpit right around the fuel fill. I'm thinking about pulling the engine and get started on the repair job from underneath. I've never even seen work like this done and I'm hoping all of you here can help me avoid mistakes. Thanks,

Here is the Exact Quote From the Fox News Interview: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,242826,00.html VAN SUSTEREN: Ken, what was — I mean, what was it like? I mean, I assume that you were hoping that someone was going to show up and take — you know, and rescue you. But at this point...

Hey, props to the guy for trying, I mean that. I'm not much of an off-shore sailor at this point but as a blue water navy man for a decade, I know the value of securing for sea. I think that a man should exhaust all his options before pulling the rip-cord and it sounded like he probably could...

Fox News (Greta) has Ken Interview Ken tells us: (paraphrased) One bank of batteries was in the sink, and one was shorting out. I was not interested in starting the engine because I didn't know if the motor mounts were in good shape, or the shaft and didn't want to start any more leaks...

Yes, that's me. I'm the freak doing woodwork in October/November. :egrin: I'll stop by sometime for sure. Rumor has it, it's going to rain this weekend, making me sad cause I can't add some more coats. Oh well - Maybe I'll have a few beers instead!

G Kiba, I'm in Antioch also. We've probably passed each other on the docks. :egrin:

Hello all, I'm new here but have lurked for a few weeks. Bought my first sailboat a little over 2 years ago and as luck would have it, she's an Ericson. Looking forward to getting to know & and learn from you all. Cya!
