Thanks. I did see a black wire connected to the chain plate on port side above the cabinet. The hull is painted and if there is a grounding bolt on the outside hull it is under the paint.

I’m only aware of the previous 2 owners kept the boat in Rhode Island until I moved it a couple of states south to New York 5 years ago. Unlikely a small boat like this made the trip from out west so you’re probably correct that it was an eastern equipped boat. Thanks for the links I didn’t...

Maybe. If there is I think it’s covered over because I’m not aware of any. I’ll check again. And yes it’s the bottom of the boat. Might be integrated in the keel maybe? This area is in the passage midway between the toilet on starboard and port lights on both side of the boat. The v berths...

I’ve got a a 1974 E25 and I’m planning on doing some simple wiring upgrade. While removing the forward bilge cover I noticed some electrical wires screwed into the hull. I was wondering if this is where some of the wiring from the mast light runs through? If anyone has any experience with...

I’ve got a E25 and I used to clean my track with a rag impregnated with dishwashing soap Using the halyard to bring the rag up and pulling it down with a cord attached to the rag. Same as previous poster. This year began my solo adventures with my boat and after a couple of outings...

Rub rail destroyed when my E25 attempts freedom break. Im just following up to see if this rail fits. My E25 got loose from my mooring when the rope broke and my boat got beat up against the dock the wind pushed it into. I'll need to replace both track and insert on one side. Any...

Thanks Glyn for the info on the gusher and handle. I'll check into it this off season.

Thanks Hi Glyn and Roscoe. Thanks for for your quick responses. I picked up the ladder yesterday and will probably put it in after haul out in a couple of weeks. I'll post some pics. Glyn, I haven't gotten that up close and personal with my boat's back end yet. I do have a manual bilge...

Question about transom Hi Roscoe, I'm a new owner of an E25 but it's a fixed keel model so my tiller remains stationary. I I found your blog when I did my first Ericsson search and have been a fan since. Im currently getting ready to install a fold up ladder on the transom and considering...
