Good and bad ending The final tally was this: Insurance company totaled the boat I Bought it back for short $'s Started looking for a used mast. A fellow EYO member had a mast for an E-28 and initially offered to sell it to me He changed his mind and offered to buy my boat as...

All is lost................ 3 good friends saw it in the past 2 days - all sailors - all gave it a thumbs down. But I will still go Joe

mast quote Kenyon/Rigrite is the source $13,000 for mast/ boom/ shipping, all new standing rigging, new furler, labor, When you add in the stanchion, tow rail repairs and the Sea tow bill, it came to more than the insured value. PS It was insured for what I paid for it

This is a real long shot but what the heck... I was out sailing the last real nice day in early/mid October. (hey this is New England and an 80 degree day then is rare as hens teeth. Sailing along, reefed main and partially furled genny in about 12 - 15 knots (it was 15-20 when I left...

This is for the E-28 owners. I have a 1987 E-28 owned for 4 years now. I do almost all of the maintenance myself. This has me stumped. The boat has the 2 standard electric bilge pumps in the normal place - one in the regular shallow bilge and one in the shower sump area. It also has the factory...

overheat probably not the thermstat. When I replaced all my hoses on my E28 ,had same problem. It's most probably some air in the hoses preventing a good circulation of coolant. Some of your hoses may be a little high for the water pump to properly get primed. I found a good link on a...

same boat, same motor - same issue My 1987 E-28 does the same thing. 4 years now. It used to bother me but it always fires up on the first.(most of the time) second, third, or fourth push on the start button. It is an electrical issue and probably not a flywheel issue. See link below...

think about hoses too 2 winters ago, I pulled my HE out (1987 E 28) and for short money had the local radiator shop dip and clean it. I replaced the zinc and end plate gasket. It was working fine before - just some PM on my part. Just a suggestion - while you have the HE out, think about...
