One that doesn't exist.

I believe that removal of the anchor well pan is the only access for the bow cleats.

On my previous 1980 28+ the shaft was offset from centerline so the shaft could be pulled with the rudder in place. On the 28/2 the rudder has to be dropped in order to remove the shaft. Unless you want to raise the engine and pull it that way. (:

Can't think of any way that this could be done in the water. On my 1987 E-28/2 there is barely enough shaft log to accommodate two clamps. When, I rebuilt the M-12 I replaced the original stuffing box, which turned out to be much longer than the original. There was not even close to the...

If you're in the market for a spare, let me know.

My late father's 93-year-old wife recently had to be moved to an assisted care living facility. She was 17 years younger than dad. She was an opera singer and always had her personal grand piano when she performed solo. Tomorrow a crew is coming to disassemble and remove it from the second...

Interesting. On my 1987, E28-2 the cockpit drains exit directly to the fittings on the bottom of the boat. No sea cocks at all. Sink drain has its own dedicated sea cock.

How many operational hours on that pump?

I have the above I harvested out of an 86' E-28/2 that was being crushed by my marina. I bid on a number of things and won. I already have a spare and don't need this. Looking to get $350.00 plus shipping. I also have two mixing elbows that I will post soon. A Westerbeke and a Yanmar.

Did you retorque the head after the first extended use?

Foss was able to supply me with a new rudder for my 87' 28/2 about 4 years ago. For what I believed was a very reasonable price.

There was no lead shot in the 81', 28+ keel. The foamed space between the solid lead and frp was between 1/4" and 3/8". Also there were no keel bolts. It was the first 28+ made according to this site. Maybe by that time someone got the idea loose lead shot was not such a great idea...

When dismantling my 81' E-28+ I found sprayed in foam between the lead and frp encapsulation. Perhaps a couple of well-placed holes to inject foam would work.
