    E26-2 Can I use a lifeline?

    My attempts at getting away with a project for labor-only were once again thwarted. I took the lifelines off last fall with the intent of taking them home and scraping off all the old plastic coating. The turnbuckles initially wouldn't unthread, so I took the whole tangled mess of wires and...

    Rebedding Leaking Grabrails

    I decided to find the leak coming from the topside grabrails on my E25cb today. After I wrestled the postside grabrail off, I was dismayed at the amount of wet oatmeal I found (first picture). I dug around with a small allen key about as far as the marked dotted red circle shows (second...

    Rebedding winches and stanchions

    I'm rebedding the coach top winches and the stanchion bases. I have a couple of questions and would like some thoughts. I'm planning on doing the whole overdrill/epoxy/redrill/backingplate thing. 1. The coach top winches (Barlow 16s) had a thin rubber gasket between the winch base and the...

    Rebedding Deck Hardware

    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?

    Re-bedding Anchor Chain Locker

    This weekend, I’m going to re-bed the anchor chain locker in my E26. I assume that the locker has a flange which is screwed into the recess in the deck. I’m pretty sure I have access to the back “wall” of the anchor chain locker through an access port that’s been installed in the teak bulkhead...

    Re-Bedding Deck Hardware

    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...

    Re-bedding Hatch Cover Hinges

    I want to re-bed the hatch cover hinges on my 1978 Ericson 29, but cannot access the retaining bolt ends due to the interior liner. Does anyone know how these bolts are connected below the deck? Are they likely to drop down into the void with the liner if I un-bolt them or are they fixed in...

    Rebedding Rub Rail 89' E 38-200

    I think I have sourced my leak to be a section of rubrail and not the genoa track as I had feared. My question is how hard is it to remove and rebed a section? It looks to me like it is all one big piece and that I would need to carefully pry out the rubber/vinyl partion to reveal screws...

    E 38-200 Genoa Track Rebedding

    Anyone ever attempted this one? Mine may be leaking some on the strb side. I am not 100% certain if it is the toerail mounted track, the rub rail, or possibly the scuppers. Water is certainly getting in though and when I stick my hand up there it seems to be coming from the toerail area. Looks...
