starboard

I recently purchased a 1973 E25 that I am working to bring back up to respectable condition. One of the issues is replacement of the aft bulkheads where the chain plates attach. The port was easy to remove and use for a pattern. However, it appears the only way to replace the other is to cut it...

This is located on the starboard rear quarter, the boat is out, did the gelcoat fail? What is the fix?

Can starboard be used for structural work ? There are flat areas in the cockpit where an ancient autopilot control panel has been installed. I need to fill those holes when I remove the old equipment. I'm wondering if using starboard or something like that is the right approach for filling in...

I would like to show some pictures of the drink holder and cockpit table we made for our 381. We used 1/2 inch thick Starboard(tm) because it is impervious to the marine enviroment. There are two winch handle holders made out of Starboard(tm) on the pedestal legs also. No holes were drilled...

Good afternoon, Has anyone replaced the hose to the starboard watertank or their E34? I would like to do this, as there is a small leak, however this seem a hard job due to the fact that part of the plumbing is under the teak sole, and not accessibale. The part that's under the teak sole...

This is going to yet again illustrate my novice status but today I went for a beautiful sail on Lake Ontario. It was a rare fall day- there was a 10-12 knot wind from the southwest with absolutely no waves- the lake was virtually dead calm except for a terrific wind. On my starboard tack I...

I am looking for a very small piece of 3/4" starboard. It only has to be 1"x6". The local chandlery will only sell me a 4x8 sheet and I would like to be able to eat this month.

Was replacing the old wood blocking in my battery tray that keeps the batteries from shifting around and thought that this would be a perfect application for that starboard plastic wood. But don't really want to shell out for a full sheet of 3/4" stock. Was wondering if anyone here knows of a...

Anyone got the foggiest idea what the strength requirements / point-loading requirements of the various plate materials might be? And more specific and useful, whether this makes much difference for our real-real world applications where we want to spread the load out under cleats, stanchions...

Hello, I was wondering does anyone have drawings or pictures of the slide out double bunk? I own a E-27 and would like to convert mine. I saw it on a 26+ and a 28+ mid 80's+. Thanks, Rod

After cruising for the last 10 days, I have noticed a pronounced list to starboard. Waterline is about an inch or so lower on starboard side. I think it was always there. Is this a common trait to this boat? If so, how is it resolved? I have tried moving gear and filling tanks in different...

I just bought a 1985 Ericson 26, sail number 256. Some Ericson literature refers to the starboard settee "extending to make a very comfortable double berth." My boat does not seem to have that capability. Can anyone tell me how it's supposed to work? Thanks.

I read through the survey of a 1989 E38 that Ted Reshetiloff posted in an <a href="http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?t=1743">earlier thread</a>, and was interested to see that the surveyor noted a slight list to starboard. My '88 E38 also has a slight list to starboard...

How level should my E28+ sit normally? With no one on board it settles with about a 2 degree list to starboard. The water tank (25 gal and full) and waste tank (currently empty) are on the starboard side with the fuel tank on the port side. There's not much gear on the boat and no heavy add...

We're proud owners of a new (for us) 1987 E-34. When we finally moved her to her new home in Benicia, CA, we noticed that she has a noticeable list to starboard. As near as we can tell, she was origianlly fitted with three water tanks (one under the v-berth, one under the port setee and one...

I really love my newly acquired 1987 E34. A great sailing boat. But does anyone know why it would list slightly to starboard. The fuel tank is just to the port of center. The port water tank is full, starboard is empty. Head and empty holding tank is to starboard. I don't have a clue? Any...
