Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anybody has ever tried to get the galley sink out of an Ericson 27 (or similar). The sink is so deep that it needs to be lifted straight up but there isn't enough clearance due to the pitch of the hatch. I've included a photo.
Any help would be greatly...
Has anyone with an E-27 installed a salt water faucet in the galley? I was going to connect the throughhull used as a drain for the head sink (since we rarely use it) as a saltwater source. Already ran the head sink drain to the bilge. I ran the hose from the throughhull to the sink in the...
I just bought an Ericson 29. And the head hasn't been used in many years, so I've got to get it working again.
The first puzzle that I'm working on is the outflow for the sink. This is the sink in the head. Right now, the outflow just drains onto my floor.
Does anyone know where it was...
We'll be moving aboard our 35mkIII in a couple of months and have been thinking about options for a little larger sink at least one a decent sized pan would fit in, any ideas? has anyone swapped out for a larger any help or suggestions would be great
Thanks Cyn
Hi All,
I'm trying to find a new sink drain fitting for the head on my E35/3. Has anyone found a source? The sink is an oval stainless one, but the fitting isn't available as far as I can determine. I've been to 4 marine stores, as well as West Marine, 2 plumbing shops as well as Home...
Hi All, When cleaning up my E27 after a 1.5 year restoration/outfitting project I was using my trusty ShopVac that sucks up virtually anything and I fear that I may have inadvertantly sucked up the drain plug/strainer from the galley sink. The bag is long gone:esad: Does anyone have any...
Aloha,
OK, here is a silly question. Water flows from the electric pump in the galley sink, but the hand pump in the sink and in the head don't work. What am I doing wrong? Do you pump them? How do I get them going?
Thanks for the help.

After 2 seasons we finally got fed up with the miniature galley sink in our 35-3 that our plates would not even sit flat in. I searched all over to find the right size sink and faucet that would fit without doing major cutting. The sink is an Elkay 17x17x6 and the faucet is a chrome plated...
I have just finished the delivery of my 1972 e35. 900 miles from Maine to Newfounland Canada.
This boat sails like a dream and looks like a nightmare. I have alot of work ahead of me. Pics will follow. The PO "customized" it a bit. It is a mid engine with the sink directly over the...
i have 2 valves,,,gate valves but dont know where they go..... i had the boat hauled power washed and scrapped awhile back... there were no holes on the outside that led to the inside whic means no thru hull outlet....the valves go thru the hull inside but not thru the bottom that i could...
The cockpit and sink drain hoses on my 1978 E32 need to be replaced. The starboard two cockpit drains plus the sink drain (all 1.5") terminate in one starboard seacock via a single three way (one opening from the top, and two brazed to each side of the tailpipe) tailpipe. The three way...
What's a good source for SS sinks ? Not the tiny round ones I've seen at WM, but a selection including deeper square ones ?
Is the dearth of boat sinks in catalogs because household SS sinks are good enough below decks ?
Thanks,

Anyone tried to "tee in" the ice box drain to the sink drain. Looks like the bottom of the icebox is slightly above the thru hull and it should drain OK.
I'd like to get rid of the icebox draining into the bilge. Of course, one would have to make sure the sink thru hull was closed while...
I have fresh water (not sea water) collecting in the forward/port corner of the galley sink cabinet. The water is not coming in through any of the thruhulls in that cabinet. I have dried it out and observed the area with a flashlight and seen evidence of water seeping up out of a seam in the...
I have a 1974 E27 with no sink, counter or drawers in head area. Old catalog depicts such a feature. Where do I obtain hardware and specs ? Please Call Don Swanson (619) 424-9800 :esad:
I have a 1983 E28+ and the galley sink looks terrible! I'd like to replace it with a brand new shiney one but can't seem to locate a supplier in the US. Any suggestions?
After down-loading and printing all the specs on my 1974 E27, I noticed a E27 in one of the sales brochures as having a counter and sink located in the head space. Where do I get the specs or measurements for installing such a feature ?
Does anyone have a source for the 4 way copper fittting that is located uder the sink. Mine has a couple of holes in it. I have thought about replacing it with a couple of bronze tees, etc.
Thanks

The handle on our galley sink drain sheared from the ball, and Forespar was kind enough to sell me a replacement at cost (it's Marelon), so now I need to replace the valve. The rep said to use a bedding compound on the threads rather than teflon tape, but didn't say to use anything in...
A couple of years ago I replaced my galley sink. All I could find was the brushed stainless that came with the boat and the new sink suffers from the same defect - it gets the pox in the form of rust spots that have to be removed with metal cleaner fairly often. Does anyone have the same...
I'm considering removing the nave table area on my 77 E-32 to replace all my seacocks and valves, as well as evaluated my engine mounts and rear engine area. Has anyone done this and what am I in for? It's pretty tough servicing that area properly due to space limitations and I'm thinking...
