    oem cleat issues

    Does anyone have cleats that look like these? I pulled these off today. It was impossible to turn the screw heads, so I went down below. In the chain locker, I was easily able to remove the nuts.

    Recoring or repairing the deck on the bow of an Ericson 27

    I just recently bought an Ericson 27 at a rock bottom price. She has a huge soft spot on the bow and ripped-out cleats. My neighbors suspect that the core on the bow is rotten and needs replacement. I messed a little with the cleat holes. They are patched over with shoddy patches (duct...

Not wanting to dirll any new holes I'd like to know if there is a larger, meatier cleat that might bolt in place.. (OK I'm asking a...

    Bow cleats

    I removed the Anchor locker this weekend to reseal it and rebed some deck HW on the bow. I found that 2 of the nuts(outer) for the bow cleats were encased in FG. I had to gind away with my Dremel and open those up so I could pot the holes and redrill them. That being a high load area I was...

    Sliding toe-rail cleats?

    Hello All, I have two toe-rail cleats on my E38 that are adjustable, that is they slide on the toe-rail and lock in position anywhere on the rail. I assume these are common on Ericsons? I have not seen them on any other boat and I would like to get a couple more. Anyone know who made them...

    Backing Plates under mooring cleats?

    I just had a professional fiberglass company do some repairs to my cabin sole and bulkhead track on my E-27. The guy who did the work on my boat asked me if I had backing plates under my mooring cleats and I assumed I did. The reason he asked is because he was in the process of repairing the...
