Yes, Thanks LorenReplacement of Cabin Sole [Master Thread]
Unfortunately, my boat is one of the models where Ericson glued down the teak and holly sole. Has anyone ever removed it on a similar boat and how big of a job is it?ericsonyachts.org
There are several related links within this great thread.
Pour yourself a cup of coffee and read thru it.
Also, would you like the title of this thread changed to reflect the part of the boat being asked about? "Floors" are the structure beneath the cabin sole.
Regards,
Loren
Thanks Taph20On my daughters 36c the screws are ornamental and it is 1/4” glued down and it is delaminating.
The ugly spot beside the hole is where I chiseled the 1/4” up now left with replacing the whole faux sole and maybe cutting the plastic out from underneath to gain access to hoses and wiring and get some extra storage space.
GOOD LUCK
Thanks John, after reading the posted info i'm not even going to try. I do think its a shame the areas are not accessable, but I guess we can't have everything!I installed a new teak an holly sole in our 34-2 and had the same problem after removing the screws. After a lot of cutting and prying I discovered that the boards were glued in place with clear silicone.
Chance are you won't get the piece up without damaging it.
