    Thanks! I wasn't aware of this activity. I will watch for the posting of date and time.

    New but not new

    Yes, I have become something of a diagnostician as well. But I don't have the years of experience of a professional. I like to pay pros for their expertise believing that the right diagnosis saves a lot of time and money. They don't have to do the work or even be present. But you have to know...

    Thamks - and that was going to be my next question.

    Hope your spring went well. I'm in need of a mechanic who can work on a fuel pump problem for a Universal Diesel 5411. By any chance have you come across any good marine engine mechanics in the area? BTW, if you see me on Lucky at Harry's as you are passing by please give a shout out. Thanks

    New but not new

    I have owned an Ericson 28+ for about 13 years and until last May she was birthed at Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City. She now resides happily at Harry's Marina in Westbrook, CT. While I am "new" to posting a comment, I have been a member of the exchange since about 2009. With an older...

    Water drain in E28+ mast

    I am a relatively new owner of a 1982 E28+ and have considerable water draining down the wires in the mast that has seeped into everything (sadly and destructively) before finally getting to the bilge. The mast is stepped on the cabin top. I plan to go up the mast to seal any openings but I am...

    E28+ Bow repair question

    Many thanks! Terminology is everything and you have provided the key. Fair winds!

    E28+ Bow repair question

    My 28+ is 1982 vintage and while preparing the boat for an early splash this spring I noticed that part of the metal "U" on the bow had broken off exposing the deck/bow connection points. Clearly to keep water out of the boat this needs to be repaired. I highly doubt that a replacement part is...

    Pressure water system pump

    Many thanks for the good tips and suggestions. Being a scotch lover myself, I know the value of a really good bottle! I'll hop on over to West Marine to see if I can get a quick fix and if not, scotch is in the air to Maine. Cheers all.

    Pressure water system pump

    I have an E-28+ with a dying pressure water system pump. Does anyone have any suggestions on sources for a replacement pump, or any particular advice on its replacement? I'm pretty handy but don't want to get in over my head, so to speak. Thanks

    Spinnaker lines

    Can anyone suggest what diameter line to use for spinnaker sheets on an E28+. I just purchased the boat with a new, unused spinnaker but no gear. Any suggestions on appropriate line size for sheets/guys etc. would be appreciated. Thanks. Steve

    E28 solar vent

    Many thanks for the good and useful lead!

    E28 solar vent

    Just bought my first boat - an E28 - after 52 years of letting someone else pay the bills. On the first sail the jib sheet caught the solar vent on the forward hatch and flung it into the sea. I cannot find anything in Ericson documentation about this solar vent. Does anyone know the likely...
