Yes of course. My query was really due to curiosity as to what lies beneath the pvc. And perhaps a quick cosmetic fix while I contemplate SS vs Dyneema.
I do not know how old mine are as the PO is deceased, but I am guessing "old enough" - hence my project to replace them.
Hey JSM -
I'm considering replacing the pvc coated lifelines on my Ericson 25 with Dyneema but saw your post about stripping off the pvc on yours and now I'm curious about the shape of mine. So wanted to ask how did you strip off the pvc coating?
Thanks
Hey thanks Christian / that would not only be an easy solution but I like the idea of leaving the chain plate "in the open" / there is a suspect screw in it.
Huh. I like the idea of making a mold from one (had actually considered this while buying supplies at a TAP Plastics recently and eyeing the vertical mold making kits). But the boat salvage angle seems easier ;) will let you know how it goes. Thanks
Hello everyone - my new to me 1979 Ericson 25 is missing the bow end cap - not sure that's what it's called, see photo - which I'd like to replace so the hull/deck joint isn't exposed. Any ideas?
many thanks
