got a 1990 32 200 at grand marina

put nme down for 2 also..white on blue sounds good also

You refer to the MIND SET of many concerning stating on BOTH....The original factory instructions on the 2-200 specofically mention TWICE to ALWAYS start on both. I think that is where the MIND SET is coming from.

Thanks youi all going to the boat this weekend and will take along the PIURES...Thanks SO much....little "thwarts" like this drive me nuts. Thansk again for the pics...never saw the plastic stuff under the drawer...I'll try again.

[How do you remove the drawers from the galley in a 32-200. I've been trying for 3 years...no luick

Brush and roller cleaner from ACE..use a LOT of product...not a DAMP CLOTH...WET CLOTH Not as sticky that way. It's the DAMP CLOTH that makes themso sticky...rinse well with water..fresh...than quick coat of wax. Next time is is REALLY easy as now the wax helps you as it is removed. Got the...

Or take up swimming off the boat. NOT a safety mob feature... afun feature

Boat name 2 cents With an Ericson and t's unique stern PLUS in most cases a boarding ladder I just don't think the stern works for most people.

Another question is why the mildew. I have found it invariably is because we all have a tendency wrap those sail so tight not a breathe of air gets in there. Sails need to be kept dry...but they need air too. Leaving a bottom snap on thesail cover open is not going to cause the end of the...

Remember folks...the oder is DRASTICALLY reduced if you do two things. Get rid of old fashioned smell retaining hoses, and most of all. FLUSH WITH FRESH WATER. Half of what you smell is "stuff" in the sea water. Shore lines don't always smell great for a reason. Rigging a "Y" valve system off of...

Doe anyone know where I could find..1-Painting, 2-Picture, 3-half model 4-model of a Herreschoff Badger. My 82 yr old sailing partner learned in one of these back in the 50s, and I would like to get it as a surprise. Any ideas? i thought i saw one once on a magazine cover. Same thing for...

Anyone here ever tried to clean the engine and the surrounding area with a STEAM CLEANER??? I used to clean the engine on my sports cars all the time at the car wash after the usual precautions. At least STEAM (187 degrees) doesn't have the pressure that the car wash had and would maybe do a...

strainer on bilge pump Well I looked at i again and the water enters the hose...goes thru the filter and through the pump and out the boat. I guess it's to protect the pump from the junk.

clogged strainer Similar problem was found to be a clogged strainer. Bilge water goes through a strainer on the firewall near the engine and the strainer was completely clogged...pumping happened...but no water got through. cleaned the screen...worked like a charm. Possibe in you case?

crazed windows I'm in the process of replacing the"plastic" in the 7 opening portlights on our 1990 32-200.I will remove the "flip up" window from the boat...leaving the hinge still attached to the boat. I will then take the "locks" off the windows and put them on a new piece of gray toned...
