Hi all, Nunki's (E26) single lever port side cockpit control has given up the ghost. The button to engage/disengage the transmission has stopped working. My guess is that something inside the unit has broken. My questions are: - is it fixable, can the unit be opened to see if the mechanism...

Sails I would be very interested in the jib. Michael

I noticed that there is a grease nipple on the stern side of my rudder post just above the cockpit sole level. Seems timely to add some grease but how much is enough? Can I expect it to ooze out somewhere obvious or is it just a matter of a few pumps of the grease gun every few months? Thanks...

Dent repair Hi all and thank you for your replies. I was a bit concerned about what adding heat (iron) to a wet cloth over the dent might do to the surrounding area as it is all varnished. So I thought I'd try the moisture without the heat. Using an eye dropper I have been putting enough water...

The floor of our E26 is in perfect condition except for one small dent (the result of something falling). I would like to repair this ding which is about a 1/4" square and maybe 1/16 to 1/8 deep. Is there a good alternative to cutting it out and inserting a small patch of teak. I am wondering...

E26 Hi John and Gyn, Firstly I too have the four bolts in the base of the bulkhead that is part of the head. I may be mistaken but my understanding is the wood on the floor is an inset upon the fiberglass liner. If you were to pull out the wood there would be fiberglass below it, That being...

E-26 bilge pump Hi there, I am sure you will enjoy your E-26 as much as we enjoy Nunki. Our 26 has a manual bilge pump (WhaleGusher) which is worked from the aft starboard side of the cockpit. It runs through the centre of the cabin under the wood floor with the input in the forward most...

E25 owner's manual Hi Don, Thanks for your note. My boat is also a 1985 vintage. I think I have the documents you mention with the exception of the equipment list. If you could send that along it would be much appreciated. I am hoping to find a 'manual' similar to the ones for the 25 and 27foot...

E26 Manual Thanks for your suggestions. I have looked at the E25 and E27 sections and they do have the 'manual'. Still hope someone has the E26 one. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Michael

I have just purchased an E26 and a owner's manual would be most useful. Does anyone have one they could share. Michael "Nunki" - West Vancouver
