fittings

Hi, I want to rebed the bow pulpit and cleats, and can't really get at them from the underside due to the anchor locker being in the way. There is very little space between the anchor locker and the hull to get my hand and a wrench in there to the underside of the deck. I am thinking it...

I have a 1980 E38, but a manual from the newer 200 model. The manual says there are two grease fittings on the rudder post, one near the top under the cockpit floor and another where the rudder enters the hull. The top one is easy to spot. However, for the life of me, I cannot find the lower...

Does anyone know of a dealer for the fittings for the gray plastic tubing? Looked at a few local hardware stores and marine outlets but couldn't find anything similar. One of the nuts on a tee-fitting broke the other day. Thanks,

Is there a reference book for those of us who are plumber-challenged ? Whenever I go to a hardware store to find a fitting it seems like a complete hit or miss if I'll find what I'm looking for. Thread counts, inner diameter, outer diameter, compression fittings, male, female ... and...

Our canvas guy just told us about ... http://www.perfectfit.com ... for SS fittings. They carry other stuff as well, having to do with canvas, but the SS fittings were the only things I had recent pricing experience with and they are really inexpensive ! They charge $8-9 for ea. a...

Our "82 E33 has a couple of through hull fittings which aren't used anymore so I wanted to remove and blank them off before doing some bottom work this spring. This leads to a couple of questions about this project: These appear to be original so from others experience, what sort of bedding...

A survey done by the previous owner noted cracks in the cap shroud swage fittings. The insurance company wants me to replace those shrouds before they will insure the boat for navigation. I think the surveyor indicated the wrong shrouds. The intermediate shrouds have cracks, but I can't find any...

Hi All, Last night I had a very unfortunate accident. I was out sailing in 20+ knots of air and did not take my cowl vent off the dorade box. During a tack my jib sheet wrapped itself around the cowl vent and ripped the cowl vent and teak cover of the box off and in the drink. What I now...

While in the process of replacing my hot water heater, I was poking around and found two grease fittings on the the rudder tower. One up top, and one down low. The lower fitting was very badly rusted, and as I tried to remove it, of course it broke. I'm not planning on dropping the...

Hey, this may be a dumb question but where are the grease fittings on the rudder post of a '83 E38? I have looked and can't seem to find them.... Not the most accessible area as you can imagine. Thanks, RT

Has anyone re-embedded the shroud fittings on an E34? Below the fittings, under the deck, there are two nuts under a block of walnut. Do these release the U-fitting? But how does one get the fitting's metal plate up? Is this connected to the rod that's attached to the hull? How does one...

i can crawl around the boat and make notes.. i'm sure i will... but it would be extremely helpful here, if somebody who has already changed out all of the stock through hulls/ gate valves on an E25 were to list out the necessary replacement SEACOCKS, HOSES, FITTINGS, etc... also TOOLS...
