Oil Leak I had the same issue develop on my E-38 last summer. Glued a hose barb into the air filter cover and ran the breather tube to it. Oil splatter disappeared. I have a cousin who is a diesel mechanic he told me the oil vapor builds up in the breather tube until there is enough oil residue...

Raft Up Have not heard anything. If you want to organize Pat and I are in:egrin:

I had a new fuel tank made for my 38 by a guy in Costa Mesa, Ca. He made the original tanks for Ericson and is still in busness. I'll look up the info when I get home after the weekend and post.

Thanks Folks! I will check them out. I had stock that was under water for years finaly pay off:egrin: I now have a boat painting fund:egrin::egrin:

I'm planing on paint the deck house and decks of our E-38 with Imeron. Anyone out there have a recommendation for marinas in the Balto/Annapolis area?

Old Sailers heavy weather trick In rough heavy seas a quick method to calm the boat is a warp. I used a once in a good blow in the middle of the night when we were coastal sailing on the west coast. I kept my old 1/2" main sail halyard 130' feet or so tie off each end on your aft port and...

I feel your pain. I didn't check the Noaa bouy or bother to look at the trees Sunday thinking it will be ok out on the Bay. Nad, ziltch, zip, nothing and I can't blow hard enough to move the 38. Came back in and watched football.

It's a SAILING BOARD ROOM!

Interesting been down 2 years now and still looks great where you can see it. Holding up well in main bilge???? I did two heavy coats.

Like Loren I also recently replaced the cabin sol in my E-38. I cleaned, scrubbed and wire brushed every surface I could get to. The build up of black gook was pretty severe. I then painted everything with Interlux bilge paint (grey), talk about a contact high even with a resporator. Yeah it was...

Frank, Finding a radaitor shop that actualy cleans and repairs radiators is getting harder and harder, most shop today just replace the radiator and charge and arm and a leg. Boling a radaitor is actually imerrsing it in a WEAK acid bath and heating to break up deposits. If your exchanger...

FYI just order hats this weekend from Morgan.

Rob, Thanks for the info the installtion looks great! Like you my engine did not have a "filter element" which allways bugged me. I ordered the K&N this AM.

Thank you gentlemen, great stuff. Now that i think about it does make more sense to return it ot the intake and burn it off rather than collect it ( my original solution)then trying to get rid of waste oil.

My M-40 has started to spurt a small amount of oil out the breaker tube:confused:. It has never done this in the past, changed the oil this spring it is at the proper level. Engine seems to run fine but now i need clean up a small (about the size of a quarter) puddle on the deck behind the...
