hardware

I'm rebuilding an Ericson 30+ 1980 and seem to be missing the bi-fold door hardware. The attached picture shows the hole for the hardware, but I can't find anything on-line that may fit. Can someone show me what it looks like, tell me where to get one or have one for sale? Thanks Brad

I have this hardware on my companion way ladder, like I suppose many Ericson owner do, that I will be replacing when I re-finish the wood part of the ladder. It looks to be badly corroded and may need to be replaced. Problem is where do I get the replacement parts? I don't ever remember...

I'm in the process of re-beading some deck hardware. Some screw hole had soft wet wet wood which I was able to remove with an allen wrench. I'm just about done with some re-core at the anchor locker, so I was please to find that it haven't spread yet and pouring a plug should do the trick. My...

Over the years, especially in the last few spring weeks, via PM's/email, I have been asked how I bed deck hardware with butyl tape. I officially apologize for being so slow with completed photo examples. I have been meaning to do this but just did not have the time to complete it. Late Sat...

Greetings, I have a 1981 E 28+ with pedestal steering. I found a nice teak table top ( 13"x 24") that would make a great folding cockpit table if I could find the hardware ( hinges) to attach it to the stainless tubes of the pedestal and a locking arm to hold it in the opened up position...

I have read several posts regarding bedding deck hardware. Some have suggested just snugging up fasteners and allowing bedding compound to setup before final tightening. Can someone explain the reasoning?

I am a new sailboat owner. I have sailed some but still have a lot to learn. My brother and recently bought a 35-2 and it has been custimized with duel fore and aft stays, there are also some deck hardware that I am unfamiliar with. I was wondering if any one could help me in identifing and...

I have an E-28+ with the original forward hatch - I think it's a Lewmar - and one of the locking handles has broken. Does anyone know where to obtain a replacement handle? Everything else on the hatch is fine and only this one piece needs replacement. I keep her in Annapolis and one would think...

Hi all, I'm new to this board and just purchased a new-to-me 1978 E29. I'd really like to run all of the lines aft to the cockpit, but can't see a simple way of installing the deck hardware with the cabin headliner in my way. Has anyone found another way of installing the hardware without using...

Can anyone tell me whether Ericson reamed out deck core and filled the gaps with epoxy (or employed some similar technique) before mounting deck hardware? Alternatively did Ericson simply drill into the deck and count on the sealant to protect the core? How did Ericson's method compare with...

whats the best procedure for fixing a leaking genoa track ( the bolts leak into the cabin)?

I own a 1978 Ericson 29 and would like some advice on re-bedding the handrails and hatches on the cabin top. The boat has a plastic head liner inside the cabin and there is access only to the first and last bolts for the handrails. What do you recommend I do to remove the handrails so I can...

On my new main from Q I occasionaly get a chattering along the luff similar to when your leach line is too loose. Seems to be most pronounced on reaches. I was wondering if the spacing on the luff hardware was correct? Any of you sailmakers out there know what the optimum spacing is? They guy...

Hello all, I had some questions on installing cabin top hardware on an E27. I was going to lead some lines aft. So some padeyes, deckorganizers, rope clutches and a winch will be added to my cabin top. I had questions about the molded headliner. I seems like there is some resin...

OK, I know that replacing your cabin curtains isn't nearly as interesting (or as important) as much of what we write about. But... We thought we would wash the 13 year old curtains on our E-38. Big mistake! When I opened up the wahsing machine the curtains were nothing but shreaded rags...

Can anyone refer me to a source for purchasing the special hardware (port and starboard boom guys, etc.) for the mast raising system for a 1974 Ericson 25? Barring the possibility of purchasing ready-made guys, are drawings and specifications available which would allow me to fabricate these...
