    top side reconditioning

    I have a 1980 e-35. when I bought the boat the top side looked in good shape and was shiney. Over the last two years a majority of the topside has gotten a powdery supstance on it. I have been told and I do not believe its oxidation. I have tried to buff it out, sand it, used some chemicals...

    Cockpit Wheel Top Dead Center Marking

    Hi all, I want to renew my weaved line on my cockpit wheel that marks top dead center for the rudder (probably not the right term--but I'm hopeful that you know what I mean). The old marker was probably original with the boat--and appears to have been "woven" directly onto the wheel. Anyone...

    Mainsheet on the Cabin Top

    As a way of making the boat a bit more family friendly, I am considering relocating the mainsheet on my '78 E34t to the cabintop using a bridle system (2 mainsheets in a triangular configuration attached to fixed points on the cabin top) to save on the expense of installing a traveller. I plan...

    Stainless coach top hand rails

    Has anyone with a mid eighties boat replaced the teak hand rails with stainless rails? I have removed the rails on my 1987 E-34 so I can refinish them, and have been wondering if I should replace them with stainless elliptical tubing to save having to do this again in the future. It is very...

    My old HP Pavilion xh485 is just not up to the task of running the newest version of Nobeltec, it only has 4meg of video ram.
