    installing new flush thru-hulls in original chamfered holes

    I recently pulled what appear to be the original bronze through-hulls for the head and galley in my E25. Given their pinkish appearance, I know I must replace these 35 year old pieces of hardware. I've read many of the debates on this forum (and on others) about the advantages and disadvantages...

    O-911se original mast maker help

    I've been the proud owner of a 1990 911se since last October. It's a great boat. Does anyone know who made the mast for this boat? I'd like to get a mast (mainsail) gate but don't know where to look.

    Original Bottom Color?

    Does anyone know what the original color barrier coat my 32-200 would have had? It looks like the current barrier coat, under years of ablative paint, is black. She was built in 1988. Were Ericsons shipped with black bottoms? Paul

    E27- Replacement for Original Raritan Head?

    My 1974 E27 has a manual Raritan head that is original equipment, as far as I know. I've fixed it several times, but its days are limited, and I'd like to replace it with a new head. Does anyone know if there are any manual heads sold by West Marine or other that fit directly into the existing...

    The original tiller for a 1976 27'

    I need to replace my (broken) tiller, which is 52" long. In speaking with Carol at H & L she shows the proper tiller is 46 3/4" long, # 1157, with a 5" rise. Does anyone know what the original was or have any suggestions as to which tiller(s) may be correct, understanding that a tiller is a...

    E27 original thruhulls are NPT or NPS?

    My new-to-me E27 has gate valves. Could be the originals I suppose. They'll need to be replaced. I've been reading through the messages here about thruhulls, gate valves, and seacocks. As I understand it, thruhulls and seacocks connect with a straight thread (NPS), while one of the issues...

    Original Owners of E35-3

    It would be interesting to know if there are any owners out there who have had their boats since NEW..... There are many questions that could be answered concerning average replacement time for many of the items lurking out there just waiting to quit that have not yet done so...

    washing original V-Berth upholstery covers

    I'm about to throw the orignal V-berth covers in our washing machine. Before I do, I thought maybe I should ask the experts on this board what they think about it. These original covers (1975) look to be in descent shape, and worth keeping. They are backed by vinyl, and I'm not sure how good...

    Does anyone know where I can find out the original colors for my boat? I've got to redo the topside. It's white with blue stripes. I just don't know what Awlgrip white to choose or exactly the right blue. Thanks in advance. fz

    Original colors for '71 E-29 shear stripe

    Hello, I'm refurbishing my 1971 E-29. The shear stripe (just below the rub-rail) was originally a yellow color, and has since been re-painted a dark brown. The paint needs to be stripped and re-done. I'd like to keep the boat as original as possible. Any input as to what the color options...

    E35-2 Original Construction Re: Chainplates

    New owner.. finally got enough courage to remove trimwork to expose my main chainplates. Expected to find rotten wood (as most of the bulkhead, port, is rotten at top) but was surprised to find both port and stbd chainplates firmly bolted to 1" of glass tabbed to hull sides. WOW. I was...

    Original running rigging layout for a 32-3

    Does anyone have a picture or diagram of the original layout of the halyards, sheets, vang, reefs, etc. for a 32-3 that was delivered with the option to have all lines led aft? I rigged the boat this spring and worked thru a couple of different configurations that worked ok, but my boat didn't...

    Changing color of original non-skid deck on E35

    I want to change the color of my original 1974 E35 non-skid deck and I have little boat painting and NO gelcoat work experience. Concerns: How can I prevent the loss of traction when I paint over the original "waffle" pattern? Do I need to add an aggregate or sand? Should I paint with...

    E 26 1966 original or aftermarket engine

    I like so many others have an outboard(8 h.p.) on the transom of my boat. How expensive is the original engine? Would it be better to keep the outboard? I realize it's less expensive, would an aftermarket version be better? Give me some ideas. The new guy. Ray

    Original Cabin Sole?

    Hey Guys / Gals: I have a question about the sole material. My E26 looks like it has just a plywood floor with grey epoxy paint on it and is fiberglassed in on the sides where it meets the hull. Was there a teak and holly sole there originally that has been removed or is this the original...

    Original Paint Schemes

    I am trying to give my old boat a face lift and was wondering if anyone knows where the original logo locations were on a 1967 E26? Also if there are any photos available of stock E26's? My boat's rigging has been altered quite a bit and I just wanted to compare.
