  1. Engine Instrument Panel - Part 1

    E26-2 Engine Instrument Panel - Part 1

    Just another instrument panel refresh on a 37 year-old boat. There's plenty of postings from other folks around here to draw inspiration from. These are the steps leading up to installation on the boat. I set out for functionality and strength over beauty. I shared this vision with the...
  2. Oil Change and Fuel Filter Replacement - Westerbeke 10 Two

    E26-2 Oil Change and Fuel Filter Replacement - Westerbeke 10 Two

    Small project? Yes. Lessons learned? Definitely. Didn't take a a ton of pictures during the change (due to the mess). But took some post-pictures for reference. This was my first time performing either of these tasks. Starting with the oil change, after warming up the engine, this electric...
  3. Engine Cooling - Hose Replacement

    E26-2 Engine Cooling - Hose Replacement

    All of hoses in the cooling system on my Westerbeke 10 Two appeared to be original from 1985. One hose had already blown with the previous owner, so I decided this should be a project to tackle early on. This project ended up spanning many months as new "opportunities" arose. So, let's jump...

  5. Haul-out and Bottom Paint

    E26-2 Haul-out and Bottom Paint

    Sanding, thru-hull removal, rudder repair, fiberglass work, and painting. All the fun I had while hauled out. I bought Sigla bottom-unseen. The previous owner had a rough idea of when it had been out of the water last, but not many details. She didn't come with a trailer, so after an...
  6. Just another heat exchanger refurbish

    E26-2 Just another heat exchanger refurbish

    While changing out my impeller earlier this year on my Westerbeke 10 Two, I also attempted to remove the zinc in the heat exchanger (expecting that it might have not been replaced recently/ever). It's kind of tight access, and I didn't want to bend it all up by cranking on it. All I was...
