    Midship cleat or eye on Ericson 27

    Back ballast hatch? I agree about the hatch. But the Companionway hatch is super solid! Only the underside plywood rotted so I've dug it out and will hopefully be able to repair so it can last another 30 + years. It is very heavy however... Maybe that was a factor with the less sturdy forward...

    What is this and do I want to replace / use it?

    Swim Ladder in the PacNW? Thanks for the identification! Wow, I was sure those mounts were for some kind of canopy system...they are on both starboard and port side so I guess the ladder could be used either side if you couldn't figure out leeward or windward in a figure 8 MOB rescue?? Did the...

    Midship cleat or eye on Ericson 27

    Midship cleat jealousy plus extra hatch I love the cleat ! How do you open the companionway hatch with the main salon hatch in front of the mast? I have just the one hatch (straddles the head, in front of the mast) but want to get the same double as your E27... My companionway hatch (original)...

    What is this and do I want to replace / use it?

    Hi All, It looks to me like a bimini or tent pole awning system...yes, there are two on the other side....is this original to an E27? I recall in my youth a pole system you could bend that had a shank button. You'd put the button in the large hole and slide the neck/shank down to the small end...

    Lazarette use

    I have one port side in the cockpit of my E27. I have emptied out the PO debris, going to wash off grime and potentially use this hatched storage area. Problem is...my arms are fairly short! the lazarette goes all the way, way down to where I removed the (decrepit) Atomic 4....how do you keep...

    The cabin table need parts....looks original from the 1970's

    Flip up table on E27 Hi All, My table has hinges that flip the whole shootin' match to the bulkhead but no way to keep it secured. Pretty sure I have holes for the type of brackets that were shown in pictures in the first post to this thread. I followed the link to Amazon where the brackets...

    "official" Ericson logo vinyl decals

    Thanks for logo and eBay tips! Appreciate the quick responses and the graphic file! Used a plastic rice paddle to take off letters, first fiberglass boats so extra paranoid about gel coat. Now have to sand down original gel coat letter ghosts to match the more worn gel coat...
