glass

1972 E 35-2 Before I have again if anyone knows the exact proper nomenclature for this artifact on our boats I would appreciate the right name for it. If I say the word hatch everyone thinks the entry hatch, if I say port light everyone thinks it’s one of the windows. It is the two overhead...

Hello Ericson owners! I am selling an Ericson Stain Glass Logo that had been hanging in my Ericson. I am selling it now on Ebay and I know Ericson owners would love it like I do. Check it out for your boat. Listed as an Ericson Stain Glass Logo...

Having shattered the glass on one of my fixed ports I was wondering if anyone would have any insight on how to replace it without removing the port. It doesn't leak now and I don't want to mess with a good thing. Thanks for any assistance.

When we returned from a recent day sail in about 10 - 20knts yesterday I noticed that the starboard port (not the opening port but the fixed port) was shattered. It looks like the lead car may have hit it but that seems unlikely. A friend suggested that my rig may be too tight. Any advice on...

All, I'm soliciting the list for help with an upcoming potential problem. I need to screw a bunch of #6 bronze wood screws into my hull and personal history doing just that on a previous boat resulted in them snapping off as nice as can be. The obvious problem was that I tried screwing...

I will be replacing the glass on many of my opening and fixed portlights on a 1990 ericson 38 (Just purchased in the last few weeks). The boat is a fair distance away so taking out the glass and cutting to fit is logistically difficult. I was hoping to have the glass cut prior to travelling...

I thought our "wind event" over thankgiving and the subsequent return home had only resulted in some lost sleep and one lost handrail cover. Today I found out that it had also resulted in a cracked porthole pane :-( It is the porthole right next to the chainplate and in retrospect I'm not...
