    E23-2 Big Plans - Little Boat

    Hi all, I recently got my hands on a 1976 Ericson 23. I’m really excited to get some projects going on the thing. I have some general questions before I get started and would really appreciate some feedback. To begin, what kind of wood is in the interior? I’m not totally sure if it’s teak or...

    Cabin skylight / portlight replacement glass or plexiglass??

    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...

    E29 Sliding Hatch Wanted

    I'm looking to buy an E-29 Main Sliding Hatch, regardless of condition or shape. I have a woodworking friend that will make me a new one--but wants a template to use as a guide. I hate to lug mine off and on the boat, probably repeatedly, as this woodworker is good, but anything but fast. I'm...

    Hello All, The hatch riser arms on my 1978 36C won't hold the hatches open any longer. I'm looking to repair (preferably) or replace the risers. Does anyone have information on who made the originals? Any source or recommendations on replacements? Thanks, Joe

    After replacing the "O" rings on the hatch 'dogs' the smaller (13 x 17 inch) forward hatch is still leaking. The leak seems to be coming around the gasket between the metal frame and the (intaact/non-cracked) gasket. Is it possible to [I]carefully[I] remove the gasket from the acrylic lens...

    Pics of my new Ericson 29 hatch

    Had to show this picture off. This is my new sliding hatch that one of my fellow sailors at my marina made and installed today. But now it just makes me realize I need to do some more varnishing on the companionway slats!

    I'm trying to tighten up my deck, stopping water leaks, and thought about trying to remove/reseal the companionway htch cover. Looks like a bear, I think I counted 48 screws, whitch I' m guessing are all machined screws. Also need to take off the traveler. I removed the 6 nuts from each side...

    Advice needed on new acrylic hatch lens install

    It's time to replace one hatch on Penquin (35-2). I'm a stickler for keeping my baby stock so I'll be using Acrylic. The original screw holes were counter sunk. Would not it be safer to use a carbide Forstner bit first, then drill for the screws? I would also consider a counter sink...

    jib sheets caught on forward hatch.

    My 1987 E26-2 jib sheets get caught under my closed front hatch when I tack. I might try to put two small 'guards' to fill the gap under the forward corners but before I try to make something, who out there already has this problem figured out? Joe.

    Need New Companionway Hatch for Ericson 27

    My son and his wife are new owners of a 1977 Ericson 27. They are in need of a new companionway hatch. Would all or some other models share the same companionway sliding hatch? Do companionway hatches... of that vintage have identical dimensions? Could we use a hatch from other manufactures...

    Hatch latches for wood hatches

    After a verrrrry long time trying to figure out something that would both look good and be functional as well as rugged, we finally installed latches on our new hatches. They work really well, keep the hatches dogged down, and don't look half bad. We obviously haven't quite finished yet...

    So there are a few things I want to update on my Boat, one of them is my front hatch (Above the head) It doesn't stay open because one of the hinges pulled out of the rotted wood. I was thinking about just reusing the top plastic and making a new hatch with my mitre saw? I think it's pretty...

    Does anyone know of a source for replacement screens for the old style Lewmar portlights on an E38-200? My 1988 boat has 12"x5" portlights. I'd appreciate any advice. Mike Jacker

    Hatch Screen/Shade

    I'm tired of waking up with the sun shining in my face when I sleep in the v-berth of our 38-200, so I'm looking at the Oceanair Skyscreen - Defender link below (about $40 cheaper than WM). Has anyone installed these - I think the hatch is a Lemar 60 as I recall. They have several different...

    E25 Companionway Hatch

    Yesterday I tacked a question onto an old thread titled, "Making a Sliding Hatch." Today I am starting a new thread, because it seems I may be facing a problem that might be specific to the E25. This morning I removed several of the pieces of teak from my hatch to see what might be between the...

    E32 Sliding Hatch For Sale

    Hi all, I have a sliding hatch from an E-32 that I’m interesting in selling. I bought it from a friend that was parting out a E32 and I thought it might fit my E-29 or be relatively easy to cut down to fit. After receiving it, and taking a hard look at it—I will clearly not fit, and the cut...

    Looking for Faux Teak Hatch Trim

    I recall seeing a post(s) in mid to late 2007 regarding replacing the faux teak trim inserted around the inside perimeter of the hatchs but for the life of me I can't seem to get the search function to find them. As I recall someone had, or was getting, a goodly amount of this trim (in...

    E38 direct hatch replacement?

    Hello All, I have a leaking main salon hatch on my E38, the big 24" by 24" unit just aft of the mast. Its original, looks like its leaking from the frame seam, or catch rivets, bedding, etc. There is enough corrosion to warrant replacement. Does anyone know of a hatch that is a direct...

    Leaking Lewmar hatch on E28+

    After sailing in some classic Lake Michigan chop and 20 knots of wind this past weekend I discovered that the forward hatch on my 1983 E28+ is leaking when there's green water on deck. Looking closely I can see that the rubber seal no longer contacts the hatch frame even when it's dogged down...

    I replaced the Lewmar Superhatch on my 1987 E-34 this week and have the old hatch available if anyone is interested. It is the Size 60, approximately 22" square with a flat base, no flange. The hinges need to have the rubber parts replaced for it to stay up reliably, the lens is crazed and...
