Hi Loren how did you add the extra bracing?

Thanks Mark, that's what I did also, it works fine! Thanks for the help!

Hi Paul, you're in the Bay Area right? Who made your dodger? It looks fantastic! I like the horizontal handle on the corners.

Thanks a lot Jerry! That's very good information, appreciate it. Do you know if the E27 and E32 use the same 4107 model?

Thanks G Kiba! That's a quick fix!

I have a 1975 E27 and I wonder how to restore the dried white rub rail around the hull. It's chalky and releases a white powder. Is there any way to restore it? thanks Ignacio Barreto

Thank you Mark! That is a fantastic information haha! I noticed that in some spots the headliner is tight against the top deck so I thought that all of it should be the same but it makes sense, it looks like a big piece of fiberglass that was screwed in place.

Thanks a lot @Milagros and @JPS27 ! Mine is like Milagros' : 2 TH on the port side with the drains sharing the sink one. Since I don't have an inboard engine, I will send the 4 cockpit drains to the exhaust port on the transom. I'll get rid of the raw water TH on the port side and the starboard...

Thanks @dofthesea ! I mounted the OB on a bracket on the transom. Mine is the wheel version with 2 cockpits. Can I ask how you set up the cockpit drains? On my boat the port ones go to the sink drain and the starboard ones have a dedicated below the water seacock. I don't think this is ideal...

Hi guys, I just bought a 1975 E27 and I plan to use only an outboard motor (9HP) instead of the inboard. Does anyone here do the same? Also how did you deal with the bilge pump? Did you place it all the way on the bottom of the deep bilge? Thanks for the help!
