    Outboard Motor Mount Advice

    Hello all! I'm about to undertake some mid winter changes to my e25 since it's too cold to actually enjoy sailing right now. My wife and I anchor often, and throw a rope ladder over the side. We've grown tired of how difficult it is. More than a few guests have been embarrassed trying to...

    Mount Laptop for Nav Station

    I have a 89 E28 without a nav station. I want to mount a laptop to use as a nav aid underway and workstation when docked. It needs to be secure and out of the way (but viewable) when under way and convenient and comfortable to use when docked. I’ve been thinking about this all season and...

    Compass mount question

    I have a pedestal mounted compass. it is a standard YS pedestal but the top 6 or 8 inches is made from teak rings stacked & glued into a column that the compass sets into. I recently noticed that removing the compass is as easy as lifting it out. This surely means something is missing as there...

    Stripped holes in engine mount stringers...

    Hello All, Had the engine hoisted back in again only to find that the three holes I tried putting the lag screws in were completely stripped. I'm more than a little pissed right now as lag screws are a poor idea in the first place to hold the engine mounts down for a few reasons. Lag screws...

    1978 34t: Need help finding design of keel mount?

    I am not near the boat at this time to check it out, but I was wondering if anybody is aware of the mounting design for the keel of the 1978 34t?

    Radar mount: Questus Backstay or Garhauer pole?

    Finished one project and on to another! I'm going to get a Furuno 2KW radar and am debating mounting options. I am debating either the Garhauer pole or Questus backstay mount. This would be for coastal and bay cruising, and if I go the pole route, I may put a solar panel on it. I know both...

    Good evening everyone, I have a couple of questions about my 72 35II that've been bugging me for a while now and hopefully someone can help me out. Number one is how is the shaft strut mounted to the boat? Mine seems to be on some flexible rubber-like base (very stiff) that is not through...

    Motor Mount replacement: M25XP

    We are about to do some serious fall maint. and one of things on the list is reducing the vibration from the engine. My contact at the boat yard advises that 18 years and 1700 hours of run time would indicate that the original mounts are hardened and no longer doing much to dampen vibrations...
