  1. What's a J-Bolt?

    E32-3 What's a J-Bolt?

    Ultimately, a lot can transpire during ownership, a ton of value added, or taken away and ultimately something is sold at a price where the value/cost proposition makes sense for both parties. Was this boat a good deal? Not sure… Maybe this blog is a way for me to justify and convince myself I...

    Holes in bildge from missing bolts

    There are two fairly large holes in my bildge from a missing bolt. I had a moment of fear, when I thought that there were some missing keel bolts, but from this old thread, it seems the holes are left over from eye bolts which were used to lift the keel in the construction of the boat...

    E23-1 keel bolts

    Does anyone know whether these 3/4 bolts are threaded into the keel or not? Once the nuts are removed, can they be knocked out from the top? Thanks. Charlie

Does anyone know if the mounting bolts are lag screws that simply screw into the fiberglass platform or a wood backing plate? I am wondering how I will attach the...

    Purchase Survey of E29 (1976) and keel Bolts

    Hello, I had an E29 sloop hauled out today with a marine surveyor to determine if I am going to go through with this purchase. Everything was relatively fine (for a 30 year old boat) until he pulled up the 2 panels on the cabin floor and stated there are no Keel bolts in those holes. I ran home...

    Am I correct that the keel bolts on the 38 are one inch UNC stainless steel studs? I can not find the correct answer this moment. Also has anyone out there replaced the nuts and lock washers? Regards: Jon Newman

    Bilge water and keel bolts

    I know this topic has been raised dozens of times on various different discussion boards and mail lists, but I never felt satisfied with the conflicting information I received. I now have a maintenance question about my '84 E-38 so I'm hoping to get some answers from 80's vintage Ericson...
