Christian is correct. I have a lot of fun with my E27 but I've spent way too much on for it not being my forever boat. I'll sail it for another couple of years and then move up in size.

I should have noted I have the bottom cleaned every 60 days by a diver.

I have a E27 that had the inboard removed years ago and I replaced it with a Nissan 9.8 extra long shaft w/four blade prop (with no transom cutout). I have had the boat up to 6-7 knots routinely.

If look closely I drilled a small hole through the transom so the remote control cables would work more freely without having to bend over the transom.

On my E27 (with Tiller) I have a extra long shaft 9.9 Nissan outboard with remote control (Throttle and F/R) mounted on a retractable bracket. The Nissan remote control console is mounted near my legs where the original inboard engine controls were. I leave the outboard in a fixed position...

Ok, I will be the first to ask. How much do you estimate your price to make one? Very nice work.

When you take the end cap off the boom you should see a cotter pin through the gooseneck fitting if I remember correctly.

Yes

You have to take the end cap off the boom and I believe the pin on the goose neck has to be drilled and a s/s cotter pin goes in. Pull the end cap off the boom and you should see how it works.

Had the same thing happed 2 years ago. Brought it over to a local machinist who made a new one out of titanium.

I use the main halyard and tie a bowline (do not use the shackle), then I use another halyard for a safety back up. You will have to have a able body seamen to help winch you up. Anytime you can relief you weight by placing your foot on the spreaders or holding to the standing rigging do so.

I use a rope tied to the rail and once I am up on the second rung I can grab the top rail and safely board unassisted.
