discovered my shroud base was leaking too on the starboard side as well. Wasn't, then suddenly was. Same deal. Pry up the plate and seal that puppy up...problem solved. One of many problems...but at least a solved one.

Pulling it Monday The whole time I hadn't been able to reach Joel as he had been out of town working on another project. I was finally able to speak directly with him on Thursday and he got things rolling very quickly. I had been waiting for the shipping label for a week and decided to try to...

solution at hand The good folks at Idasailor are sending me a shipping label so that I can send it back to them for fixing. They are wanting to only pay for the first haul out to get the keel off, but I think I can get them to pay for the haul out to put the keel on too with a little more...

the total shipping weight of the keel was 33 pounds I assumed after talking to them before they made the keel that they had researched it and knew how to make a much lighter keel that would still "get the job done". I have not heard back from them yet and they seem to be really good, honest...

still so pissed, but they dont get in office till Monday As far as the "float" test goes, I would have to haul out the damn boat again and remove it and I need to save a few bux. Stinkin keel cost me 984 with shipping...I shouldn't have to drill a damn thing on it...lol...anyway..off to work to...

I have spent a very large portion of my day removing the old pieces that were lodged in my keel box from the former keel which had broken off. Removed the pin, spent 3 hours cleaning out the oyster shells that had attached themselves. Didn't take too long to get the new keel connected and the...

Sleeping on the boat and such Mother in Law is awesome. We just have a small house and her being here is rather necessary due to some medical issues we are dealing with. It definately is stealing from my sail time, but it will be worth the cost in the end. I'd appreciate if everyone here would...

replacing the kkeel and sailing the boat without if you need to replace the line due to no tension; my guess is the same as roscoe. Either a diver goes under and finds your pendant line in tact with block and all and runs the new line you have dropped down through the block and somehow back up...

Regarding centerboard installation Chris: Thanks for sending me the plans and I still have your envelope so that I can send you some loot for your efforts. Sorry for the delay. In the end I felt that the actual centerboard fabrication was a tad out of my league so I saved the money on an...

I will be installing my new keel in the coming week and amd wondering if anyone is interested in pictures of the process. I can post pics with progress along the way. Lemme know if anyone is interested..

I have a 17 inch magna propane grill that I have decided is just too big for my E-25. I am interested in trading someone outright for their 14 inch grill. I could sell the thing but feel like offering it here is just the right thing to do. We could just trade outright and pay our own shipping...

I am installing my new keel next week and am interested in the pendant line setup. Since my keel fell off, I lost the cable and block assembly. Does anyone know exactly what I should be looking for as far as purchasing the right hardware to make a new pendant line and block assembly? Thanks in...

So I am ready to pull the boat and install the new keel next week. Since I lost my keel I also lost the pendant cable and block. Does anyone have any advice as to how to contruct a new pendant line and which size it would be and what sized block I would use? I have seen pics but they are just...

Can anyone show pictures of their dropleaf table or have plans on how to construct a new one? I simply do not have a table on the interior of my boat and would like to have one of the fold up types. Would it be fairly easy to construct one?

I truly appreciate all of the replies and many offers of help. With Chris's help with outlines and such, I would also ask that if possible, someone could take a whole bunch of very detailed pictures of their keel. Every aspect being photographed would be a tremendous help. I am ready to get...
