Dickinson Heater I live here in beautiful Port Angeles and would absolutely love to have that heater for my e29 "Pegasus". Tell me what parts you have and I would like to talk to you about it. I can come over and pick it up so let me know what is going on. If you would rather write me directly...

E29 Hatch John, I bought my boat 2 years ago, E-29, and tried to save the existing hatch. The previous owner had purchased a new one but then did not take care of it and it started to delaminate. I sanded it down and varnished it but the hatch was just too far gone. It has gotten soft in...

Roller Furling I own an E-29 here in Puget Sound, Port Angeles, and last year installed a roller furling system on my boat and have been extremely happy with it. I really looked around before I purchased my unit. The system that I finally bought is an Alado system, made in Brazil. It is very...

Backing e29 I also own an e29 and found that if you can push the boat in the opposite direction, after the boat has started moving, it will start answering the helm. Bob e29 "Pegasus" Port Angeles, WA.

Thanks Found it, thanks a bunch, Bob E-29, "Pegasus" Port Angeles, WA.

Hey Guys, I seem to remember a thread by someone who replaced his leaking portlights with either smoked safety glass or lexan. The portlight above the galley is ill fitting and although I have taken it out and resealed it the small leak continues. I thought that I might replace all of them the...

2gm20 Glyn, Thanks for the advice, I looked it up and indeed the manufacturer recommends a higher rpm. At my 50 hour service I had my mechanic check out my prop to engine match and he said that it was about as good as it was going to get. The engine max's out at 3,600 rpm but I can only get it...

Repowering Arthur, In July of 2005 I purchased an E-29 in Port Angeles, WA., one of the first things that I did was to repower with a 2GM20 Yanmar. (Not sure if they make that motor any longer) It is a 16 hp diesel and powers my 29' with no problem, I did put a 3 blade prop on it after I...

Modifications On my E-29 I also had little room in the galley, I also had an old pressure alcohol stove, 2 burner, that leaked and flared up at every possible point. I replaced the stove with a new, 2 burner, Origo non pressurized stove. I kept the old cutting board, the new stove came with...

Sorry I didn't mean to lie. I was in such a hurry when I responded that I wasn't really thinking about the name of the foam that I used. The real name is memory foam and is readily available from Overstock.com and a few others, as I said the prices have really come down and they are now very...

Good Idea This is probably an idea that I will use as I already have purchased a 3" matress topper. I bought one of the new closed cell foam units from Overstock.com, the prices have come down to a realistic price and I thought that I would give it a try. I am very happy with it and now will...

Recovery tank Is there any way that you can just add a recovery tank? Once you accomplish that then the rest is easy. Bob "Pegasus" e29 Port Angeles

I also had the horror of changing my engine oil, so when I repowered my e29' "Pegasus" I had my mechanic drill and tap the oil pan and install a wire reinforced tube with a shut off valve at the end. Now to change my oil I simply warm the engine up, put a gallon container in the bilge, put the...

Loren, I also looked at the Spin-Tech system and it sounded really good, but I downloaded the installation manual and found that you have to ascend the mast to disconnect the headstay at the masthead. Then you have to assemble the system on a flat surface, glueing the pieces together and...

Thanks for the info on these units, ordered one this morning. $735.00 including shipping is really quite the deal. See you all at the rendezvous, I'm in slip CD-1, sounds like I'm in charge of the music. Bob e29 "Pegasus"
