opening

I have a question about the "swing up" windows on the 32-200. Not the right name I'm sure. Looking at them it would seem you could remove them from the boat...LENS ONLY, take off the hardware and then get Tap Plastic or someone if Lewmar doesn't sell them to cut a new "plastic, acrylic"...

I Just bought an E26-2. We have to dock the boat 'stern first' for at least this summer. I know stepping over the transom railing will become a pain especially for members of the family and friends who were not born yesterday. I need recommendations on options to cut the rail and replace it with...

The Corinthian Sailing Assoc on the northshore of Lake Pontchartrain kicks of the 2009 season with our first race for the Winter series on Saturday the 24th. If your in the neighborhood, and want to come on out, get back to me. Brian

One of my opening ports will no longer stay open except in the full open position. Any suggestions and are replacement hinges available. Thank for the input. Bob Cole E-34 Sundance

I have gone through all of the threads I can find on the Lewmar Opening Ports....... I followed the advice on one to call Catalina Direct for the Lenses and Gaskets, which I did, and ordered one gasket and one lense to make sure that they will work. I copied the article from Yachtworld and...

I though some EYO members might be interested in this source. I found replacement acrylic (the "glass") for the opening Lewmar ports for my '88 E-32-200 at http://www.catalinadirect.com/ for $32 each - $10 cheaper than Select Plastics. The part is called "Opening Port Replacement Lens" #Z2384...

So, anyone else planning on hitting opening day of Rockfish season via their Ericson this year? http://www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries/regulations/sbrecseasons/sbregmap03.html Current plans are to head out Friday so we can have an early easy wake-up on the water for Saturday's fun.

Where can I buy a smoked Lexan sheet big enough to cut out a companionway door? I currently have the three board "set" that is in very nice shape but I'd like to have the option of a one piece Lexan that would allow some light to come in and also be easier to put in and take out for when we are...

Any of you guys who have replaced your portlights willing to send me one of your old ones? I will pay shipping. I would like to experiment on replacing the acrylic and fabricating a screen system. I would rather experiment on one that someone can live without before tearing into mine which...

I have aluminum opening portlights on my 1981 Ericson 38. Several are leaking so I am interested in pulling and resealing them. Has anyone undertaken this process? If so, how did you remove the opening port? Tom

Has anyone resealed the opening port windows on an ericson 38. Ours has the older style before ericson went to Lewmar. Any thoughts. They leak when it rains

After much searching, I've found the brand and model of the opening ports used on my 1985 E35-3. I needed this info in order to find screens for these ports. The ports are Bomar Extruded Portlights 3000 Series, Model N3410. There are parts, screens, and complete replacement ports available from...

I need to purchase screens for the opening ports for my 1985 E35-3. Have others found what the replacement part brand and model might be? Thanks. Laura Bertran 1985 E35-3, Footloose Annapolis, MD

Hi, all, congratulations to everyone on the East Coast with surviving the Isabel. One more newbie question... I finally had time to investigate my portlight leak, and found beyond any doubt that it actually leaks between the frame and the fiberglass. So, next step is to rebed it. But...

I really like the new pictures added on the opening page Sean. Are they new or am I just starting to appreciate them now? That is those nice shiny boats and all.

My '84 E-28 has three small opening portlights, one over the hanging locker, one in the head, and one in the quarterberth. On two out of the three of them I am either missing the rubber gasket seal or the P.O. replaced it with pieces of rubber foam. The other portlight has a nice (I...

May 4-5, Opening Day, Sloop Tavern Yacht Club is sponsoring a single/double handed race to Port Townsend. Tentative plans, as we are still in the planning stages, call for the race to be to Port Townsend on May 4, overnight in Port Townsend, and then race back to Shilshole on May 5 with awards...
