Source for rudder bearings?
Before I launch this spring, I would like to replace the bearings (bushings) on my 27's rudder.? The rudder slop when sailing downwind is pretty noticeable. Do any of you have a source for the

Re: Canvas Winter Cover?
While I have been leaving the mast up when I haul the boat in the Fall, I generally take the boom off. I tie off the tarp to the mast & run it back just past the companionway a little way into the

Re: Canvas Winter Cover?
Thanks for the reply, Frank.? Are you only covering the cockpit with the tarp? If so, do you "tent" the tarp with the boom? ? Dave S. s/v Clio 1987 S2 27, hull #80

Re: Canvas Winter Cover?
Dave, I looked into a winter cover for my S2 27 & found it to be pretty expensive. If there were a fairly inexpensive option I would certainly consider it. Would love to hear what others have paid for

Canvas Winter Cover?
Hi Folks, ? The S2 27 group has been very quiet, so here's a new topic to kick off 2019.? ? Does anyone have a canvas winter cover for your boat?? If so, did you have it custom made, and by which

Re: 1GM10 KM2-C Transmission
Good to know.? The shaft log on my boat is getting pretty brittle after all these years.? Thanks! ? Dave S. s/v Clio 1987 S2 27, hull #80

Re: 1GM10 KM2-C Transmission
I used a waterproof electrical tape. It was a pain to get a good wrap around the hose & I think I had to do it twice. I also had to be a bit more vigilant getting the water out from under the engine

Re: 1GM10 KM2-C Transmission
I worry about my shaft log hose, too, since I pretty sure it is original to the boat.? If it were to start leaking, do you think that stretchy silicone tape would keep the water out? ? Dave S. s/v

Re: 1GM10 KM2-C Transmission
When my shaft log hose started to leak it was close to the end of sailing season last year. I checked with the marina that hauls my boat & they said it was no problem. Most of the cost would have been

Re: 1GM10 KM2-C Transmission
Thanks Frank, I did it the same way 20 years ago but not sure these days. I wish it was only 15 lbs ago, not sure my now 205 will fit, or get out if I do get in! Maybe we could get a group of 25 year

Re: 1GM10 KM2-C Transmission
Hi Mark, I pulled mine quite a while ago. I was skinnier then. :-) This last Spring, though, I had to replace the shaft log hose & it is probably a job requiring similar access. I pulled the stuffing

Keelbolt washers
My 1987 S2 27 has mild steel washers on the keel bolts, which are pretty much totally rusted away. Anyone on this list replaced them? If so, with stainless, or again with mild steel? How big a job was

Re: Bushings for rudder pintles
That is great news, Brian ... and advice. Mine is also getting "wobbly". What was the best way to get the rudder off the back? She sure seems to be kinda heavy. I was thinking a floor jack and some

Re: S2 27 Members
I agree, Mark.? Too bad, though, that the listserv has been so quiet recently. ? Here's a conversation starter. What are the dimensions of the OEM tiller for the S2 27?? Is it dead straight, or

Yanmar Prop
It's about time for a haul out for bottom paint and I have always wondered about my prop. It's a 1GM10 and the prop is a 2 blade Michigan "Sailer" 14 x 10. There is only about a 1/4 inch space between
