Hi All,
I am a very seasoned sailor, just went from a Bristol Corsair 24 to buying an 1984 Ericson 26-2 sailboat. Great boat but I think the last owner might have lost some of the bushings or a gasket or something because the tiller has about n inch or less of play up and down. When I inspect...

[FONT=Tahoma]You got it, they are leaking. Pac Seacraft doesn't carry the gaskets. Who does? Would it be OK to use the existing gaskets augmented with some 3M goop of some kind? Is there some way to seal them without removing the port frame from the deckhouse, splitting the frame and...
