Mark, see if you can get a ?hold of Alvarez at Harbor Isle Marina, St. Joe, Michigan for some free advice. He(and I) replaced the panel on my boat several weeks ago because it too was cracked from

I replaced the Yanmar control panel plastic today along with the key switch. Not a bad job to get the tach, sonalert, toggle switch, bulbs and everything else transfered to the new panel and it works

Congrats, Allen! I really enjoyed your write up. I bought my boat in 2008, and my second sail was really my shakedown cruise -- Racine to Michigan City in 14 hours and 10 minutes, so I have a sense of

Hey Rick, Thanks for the suggestions. I've ruled out #2-#5 on your list, although I do get the lubricating drips from the stuffing box while the shaft turns. No drips at rest. The ice box is empty and

For those that are interested, my son and?I managed to motor/sail the boat across the lake from St. Joe, Michigan to Wilmette in under 10 hours. The day and one-half at the yard before our sail was

Erick, Congrats on purchasing and refurbing your S2 27. Most of us here agree that our S2 27s are somewhat underpowered by the 1GM10. Having said that, these engines seem to be incredibly reliable

Hi Erick, Welcome to the group. The first S2 27 I ever saw was in New Hampshire. It was being rebuilt near Newmarket about 4 years ago. I couldn't make a deal with that owner and started looking

Hi. My name is erick and last summer I bought a 1986 s2 27. I spent the last year or so redoing some woodwork and replacing all the running rigging. I'm now at a point where I need to decide on

Dave - i have the A model of course - so giving you my uninformed opinion.... 1) did you clean the boat with some stuff? maybe it is residual? 2) does the icebox drain in the bilge - any foul stuff in

All season so far, I have had a "mystery goo" ooze down into the bilge from the aft end of the boat. The goo seems to be a mix of diesel, motor oil, and water. Definitely has a diesel/oily smell, is

If so, I have a question for you about bilge access. Model "B" (as I call it) was built late in the S2 27 series. The mast on my boat is deck stepped with a compression post in the cabin, the bilge

I am still working on it. After talking to many people,?I have decided to pump out the old fuel and replace both filters. The yard said that it started up with no problems but then they?proceded to

sorry - not familiar with that boat. Changing topics...I really like the S2 7.9 - great boat. A friend found a fixed keel version recently here in Connecticut. What other 27's have you been looking

Allen - how is your tank/fuel situation?

There was an s2 27 for sale on ebay I posted the last bid but never heard back. The boat is in or near La Salle Mi. Paveglio was name on the ad. I've tried for several days to find them by ph. and

for what it is worth...i posted a picture of my masthead for reference. sounds like we all have same. it is in the photo section in an album called "rigging photos" rick

Mark, My asymm spinn set-up is the same as Bob's. If you want to get the block out forward of the headstay, you might want to look into Rig-Rite's spinnaker bails and cranes. They will certainly take

My mast has two forward facing sheaves. Port side has the genoa halyard on it. I fly the asymmetric spin on the starboard sheave. I dropped it on a starboard tack last week with no problems. Was

I am interested in what you have done to attach a block to the top of the mast for a Spinnaker halyard. I have used the port Genoa halyard but it makes it difficult to do a take down if on the wrong

Yes, that is what I have been using for a long time.
