All - I just got the email below from a yard guy named Tyler who's working on someone's E27. Could you please take a look and see if you can respond (here and/or directly to him)? Thanks, //sse

What type of wood is the dining table in the E30+ made of? There is solid wood edging around all four sides of a larger center piece. Is the center piece solid or plywood? I need to re-attach the mounting plate and will have to drill out and plug the old screw holes first.

Hello Vikings! We ( my wonderful sailing girlfriend and I) are looking into buying a laptop that will one day be used on the boat. This will be used for internet access, weather, chart plotting, blogging, etc, etc. Make & model would be nice. System capacities would be great as well. Opinions...

The Lavac Popular model seems like the way to go for a durable, low-maintenance head replacement. My current sanitation system is in need of overhaul, but I hate it and have wanted to replace it since I got the boat. Actually, it's just the toilet I hate. The sanitation system is fine. The...

Hello All: This may seem like a dumb question, but I'm not sure what type of engine we have. The mechanical survey we had done when we purchased the boat a few months ago indicated we had a 32hp, 4 cylinder Universal 5432. Someone recently suggested that Ericson in the mid/late 1980's...

I tried "stick on numbers" for my inflatable and they keep coming off. So I believe it is time to paint the numbers on the dingy. I thought there would be a special kind of paint for the rubber type material the boat is made of. So off the the paint store I go. I ask about the marine...

I am looking at the list of things to do over the winter and one of them is new bottom paint. In the past I have used a single season hard ablative but likely the boat will be in the water for the following winter so I am looking at multi-season paint. IIRC the Interlux Micron is a good...

Have a 86 E32 with a 24 hp diesel and a Hurth transmission. I'm having trouble obtaining the Type A fluid required. I have found only one reference on the internet suggesting a replacement of Dextron II/Merc. Can anyone suggest where to obtain Type A or if a reliable subst is being used.

As many are aware, the E-27, and some of it's close cousins (I think we're talking 25/26/28/29 here) have a very deep sump in the aft portion of the keel. This has been a topic of much speculation as a failure/worry item. Quite honestly, I think this has been hyped out of proportion with no...

I have a E 32, 1971 and would like to install 2 self-tail winches near to the helm. All I currently have are 2 Barient 22's (not self-tailing) which are far from the helm. I am wondering if anyone knows the correct size of self-tailers and where they should be positioned. I am aware that the...

What is it? Does anyone know what type of sailing dinghy this is? I know it's not a Ericson for sure, ha ha, and it is only 10 feet long with a 4' 3" beam, so it's not a Laser. The guy who sold it to me (only a 100 bucks) said he was told it was a Hobie Holder. I can't find any info on a...
