Mark - were you only getting water in the front bilge compartment where the forward keel bolt was located? For sure I get water in from the mast, but in this case I was getting some water BEFORE the

I still get a little bit of rainwater down the inside of the mast. Your sealing of the ceiling may need attention. Sticky messy job trying to tighten bolts smeared in caulk, but not complicated. I

I isolated my leaks to the mast by using silicone sealant and a small piece of plastic to goop up the drain hole in the foremost compartment of the bilge. All the water accumulated there after it was

Dave, thanks. i'm hoping it's not the keel-hull joint - i thought it was fixed and the boat has only been in the water for 15 days, the last 2 days with the stick in. My lazarettes are dry - if the

Rick, I get water into my boat via the cockpit lazarettes. When I wash down the boat really well, or after a particularly heavy rainstorm, water will back up in the "channels" where the seats/lids

has anyone found an other areas on their keel stepped 27 where water accumulates in bilge? i have re torqued the keel bolts, glassed the keel hull joint (probably not perfectly though..), and of

I just installed a 6 foot long Taylormade, 42" high. Boom clearance is OK when unfolded, but I need to lift the boom to set up or take down the bimini. The length was a bit optimistic as well. The

Dave good to hear you're in! I launched last Saturday...some trepdation as i repacked my stuffing box, but did it carefully and so far she's holding fine. My mast goes up Saturday...with some new

Launched my boat and stepped the mast today. I *do* love it when all goes according to plan. Boat is dry, and now securely tied in its slip. Whew! The weather forecast for this coming Saturday is

Yes you can get the plastic bushings from Grainger.? They come in different lengths and diameters and thicknesses so you can get what you need.??I posted here before about them. I am in Singapore

Mark, I'm glad to hear about the 7.9 bearings...that should make it easier to find replacements. I don't think that the pintle holes on my boat's gudgeon are enlarged, but I do have some rudder slop.

They are the same, I had a friend give me a set from his 7.9. In my case they made no difference, because the hole on the mount has been enlarged from wear. Anyone else have that issue?

Rudder bearing questions. 1. Has anyone in the group replaced their rudder bearings? 2. If so, do you have a source of new bearings? 3. Are the rudder bearings on our S2 27s the same as those on the

Thanks for the photos, Mark. I just bit the bullet and bought a Taylormade model (from WM for too much $ apparently.) I'm mounting it similarly to yours but the 72" length has the front tubes crowding

Guys, I ended up with going with a 78 inch wide, 54 inch length generic I found on ebay for $130. It is white vinyl, which I am actually a fan of. This one has an aluminum frame, which I like because

Welcome to the group. Only 85 27's were produced although about 4 or so were listed on Yachtworld about 4 years ago... There used to be 2 in your general area...one in Virginia, the other in TN. What

forgot to mention, i also torque them in a sequence...eg, 1,7,2,6 etc...had read somewhere that you should do in this manner...like a wheel or cylinder head....

Anyone here recently retorque their keel nuts? i have been torquin the front and rear nuts to about 110 ft lbs, the others around 80 ft lbs. Curious what others are usin as a torque spec...

I am considering the purchase of a new (to me) boat as a retirement "toy". I have previously owned a 9.2A and a 7.9 Grand Slam. I have lived-aboard a number of other sailboats for over 25 years and

I was out yesterday and did a full throttle run -- it revved to 3600 with no issues and GPS was showing between 6 and 6.5 (my onboard knotmeter doesn't work). No smoking problems. I think the 12 X 9
