Not Yet. I'll be doing the same project soon. Bob

Mark Why not use wood clamps to hold them in place while the hatch is in an open position? My port hatch plywood started to rot in the corner. Just a little rot. I thickened up epoxy and put a ton of

I do have a question for this little group. Have any of you had to replace the plywood that is glued to the underside of the lazarette hatches? Mine are rotten and I intend to replace them as soon as

Bob, My Bimini extends aft of the backstay about even with the rail. I had them just put two 5 inch round holes in the top to allow the backstays to pass through. It does reduce the amount the

Thanks for the info, Mark. How about the backstays? Did you split the bimini and extend behind them? Bob

Hi Bob, My ice box pump is just a water puppy (Jabsco) that connects to a "T" in the sink drain. Since the ice box has two drains I do need to put a rubber plug in the top one to keep it from sucking

Hello Mark, Let me second Rick's welcome to the group. My boat has middle aged main, 135 and a cruising chute by Winters. You might inquire there, as they've done at least one set for the S2 27. I'd

Thanks for the welcome Rick, What mods and upgrades have I done? The early things are roller furler, lazy jacks, all lines aft with clutches, adjustable topping lift, Harken traveler and spinnaker

Mark, Welcome to the group! I know there are only a few of us... But they only made 85 boats. My hope in forming the yahoo group was to identify maybe 20% of us if lucky.... Thanks for the thoughts on

Nice to find a group of S2-27 owners. My name is Mark and I live in Nashville TN. I own hull number 15 laid in 85. I have owned my boat since 1987. It is located at Harbor Island Yacht Club on Old

My battery charger is a Dytek. There is precious little info on the internet on these chargers, since they are apparently out of business. In addition, my boat didn't come with a Dytek owners manual

Here are some edited versions of messages I posted on the S2 Yahoo site a few years ago. Although I had an S2 7.3 back then, I hope that my experience will be of value. On my (old) S2 7.3, I also had

Hi Rick, I'll be looking at that job soon too. Thanks for the preview. Epoxy filling the stand-off tubes is a good idea. I might try one of the putty style epoxies like a PC7 before trying to pour

Nice system. Looks like the plastic hinge folds over the lifeline and the vertical slat carries the weight. Do you unstep the mast every winter? Retune the rig with a gauge or eyeball? Bob

posted some pictures of my winter cover frame - a carpenter friend of mine designed this so the frame ribs fold up for easy storage. If you look closely at one of the ribs, you;ll see a red patch

So part of my winter fun is refinishing the handrails. A pain to remove as one of the nuts was stuck to a bolt, and then I accidentally cut the wrong bolt...so now I have to get 2 new bolts. At any

Ditto on all counts: My boat is #50, 1GM10, 2 blade prop, fixed. About 5 knots max. My external oil line on the lower port side began leaking this summer. It appears to be rusted through where the

I have an '85 S2-27. Have same engine and a martec folding 2-blade prop. The boat is definetly underpowered. It should have a 2gm-10. I rarely get above 5.1 knots, but rarely have motored sans wind,

Just curious. Which engine do you have in your 27? My boat is hull #80, built in 1987 (modified cabin layout, as shown in the '87 brochure in the "photo" section). My engine is a Yanmar 1GM10, with a

According to page 20 of my 1987 Owner's Manual, the mainsail area is 172 sq ft, and the class jib (whatever *that* means) is 170 sq ft, for a total of 342 sq ft with both. Don't know if the class jib
