to ignacio: i didn't put there any seal or gasket i left it as it was originally. regarding the teak lumber (if you still need it) i think the boards from macbeath was like $28 and you will need thickness planer , table was and other tools to make it work. as carpenter i have all these so it...

hi guys sorry for no responses but i was super busy and didn't have chance to go to the boat for last 3 weeks. i replaced interior frame pieces with L shape teak molding . the only problem was that molding didn't go deep enough inside to cover the gap so i had to rip it on table saw little...

more gaskets looks like i should get in line before everything is sold out :egrin: i just pulled out one of my portlights today and here is some pictures of the gaskets i have in my windows . boat is 71 E29.

it took me about two full days to the point where i could start with coats and then just 3 weeks to finish all coats from both sides :egrin: :egrin:

here is some pictures of finished hatch :egrin: no ugly screws :-))

i'm about to start this job on my 29. i didn't take the windows a part so i don't know what kind of gasket will be there but here is the link for company that makes rubber gaskets http://www.wefcorubber.com/default.asp let us know if any of their gasket worked for you. paul

here is some pictures from refininshing project. finally done :egrin: :egrin:

front hatch i did build new hatch too . its really easy and cost is about $100/ per hatch. i used acrylic from tap plastic and teak from http://macbeath.com/ they have good prices. i didn't use the screws to hold the glass down instead i used 3M vhb tape. ( will see how it will hold up) here...

Hi Simdim it would be great if you can post those "after" pictures . if you can find them im specially interested to see that plexiglass btw. i still didn't have chance to check my sheaves again for O.D so no news there Thanks

i would say they will be the same but maybe someone with more knowledge about E29 will chime in :egrin:

thank you guys . tomorrow im going to my boat and i will take closer look and try to measure OD to see what is going on there

here is how it looks

thanks for posting those pictures. the distance between the bolts looks the same. i found this thread http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?t=7214&highlight=masthead+sheaves and its looks like my sheaves have really deep groove. maybe they are not original to the boat. here...

is this an original factory setup ? to me the sheaves are really close together and one side is already cutting the mast. as i was the one who did the winching and my wife was taking pictures and checking things a cant really say if there were any welded holes from the past thanks Paul :egrin...

we just bought 1972 ericson 29 hull #171. the boat got yanmar diesel with 150 hours and is in pretty nice shape , except some little projects ,like bulding new forward hatch , sanding companionway , resealing portlights and some chainplates work. so soon i will start bugging you for some info...
