Understood. When it comes to boats, I’m a little over cautious but I’m also learning more each year.

Thanks for the schematic and all the information l. This is very helpful. I will likely try and tackle this issue the next two me I pull the boat out. Very much appreciated.

I have a 1987 E28+ and my scuppers drain to the sink outfall line. If I shut the seacock that the sink drains out of it does not allow the cockpit to drain. For example, if the seacock is shut and we get a big rain storm my cockpit begins to fill with water. Worse yet, the sink is lower than the...

Makes sense. Thanks.

I will definitely give that a try before taking the starter/solenoid out. Did you just clean the terminals on the push button or did you do more extensive cleaning?

Thanks Frank I’ll give that a look.

I have an E28 with a universal M12. Sometimes I have to push the start button multiple times before the engine turns over. I push the button and nothing happens. I checked connections around the switch and everything looks good. Could the switch need replacing or am I missing something else...

I've had my E28 for less than a year and I'm trying to figure out how to reef it correctly. The instructions I have are attached. Is this the correct method? It does not seem to work well when I try it. Any help would be appreciated. Geoff E28 Katia Christina

I have a 28-2 and love the boat. It's a perfect size. My boat has a Universal 10 hp diesel engine with about 2,500 hours. Seems to run fine but I do wish I had a little more power. I've used both tiller and wheel and both are about the same to me. One advantage to a tiller is the use of a tiller...

Good advice! What model of Facet pump would work? I'm going to remove the nut at the bottom and see if there is any junk to clean out. Maybe that will quiet it down a bit. Thanks.

The fuel pump supplier is still in business but I've had a horrible time trying to get their contact information. Their web site is in need of a lot of repairs. I'm going to try and call them tomorrow to see if they can help me but so far, I'm not impressed.

Thanks for the explanation Frank. You are correct, the E28+ does not have a cockpit pocket.

Thank you for the tips. I'm not sure I know what a cockpit "pocket" in the coaming is. Do you have a picture?

That makes sense. Thanks for the follow-up on this. I'll do a good investigation.
