Parting out or selling my Ericson 27'. Located in St Clair Shores MI Jefferson beach marina. 2500 for whole thing or negotiate parts. Has a garmin nav system with depth and wind. Many sails including a newish 140 jib. newish furling system as well. The Atomic 4 likely doesn't run (why I am...

Upon further research I am also considering the Alado furler. I am trying to sort out the required sail tape size for both CDI and Alado. My sails currently have size 5 so I am hoping one or both systems are compatible. Harken I know is size 5 but I have decided that Harken is just to far out of...

I am giving up on my seaflex furler that came with my boat and buying a new furler. (long story) I am considering the CDI flex furler but was wondering if anyone has any experience/opinions on them. My largest concern is the internal halyard and what to do with it once the sail is raised. My...

I would seem that you did all three quite well. If you were in Michigan I would hire you to do the electrical on my boat

Thanks for all the advice Thanks Toddster, The exciter leg is connected to the coil like the original and new alternator. I was just wondering if anyone had heard of a reason for the other wires (Radio and Autopilot power) to be connected to it. As I thought there doesn't seem to be any good...

Thanks John Thats perfect. You painted a great picture. I will let you know how it goes. Chris

Hello all I am getting ready to run some new wire (wind sensor) through my mast and repair/replace some old wiring for lighting. My question and hang up are getting the wire through the mast step and to the bottom of the boat to then run aft. The old wiring seams to run this way but a new wire...

Thanks for all the advice There are plenty of parts for the furler so I will probably rebuild it. No way really to know how old it is. I believe I will take the general advice and have the sail looked at, at a local loft.

Last year I bought an Ericson 27. Sailed it for the summer and have a list of parts to buy and things to fix (which I expected for the price). On the top of the list is the Genoa 150 and a Seaflex furler for said Genoa. The Genoa has a tear along and close to the foot of the sail. I wanted to...

Spinnaker Pole I have a spinnaker pole from an E27 sitting in my garage if you are interested. Chris

I Did buy Half Life. Good Guys

My boat needs a bit of work and I also want to update it to make it easier to single hand sail. Was wondering where you guys and gals buy your equipment. I will be looking for rope clutches, self tailing winch, and a lazy jack system. Thanks for the help Chris
