Re: Chewed up mast
Reading your responses, thanks. I'll reply in a bit. Right now I'm at the trolley museum in E Haven, Ct. Very cool. T27Owners@...> wrote:

Re: Chewed up mast
I had the same problem. Having already had the mast up, I knew that shortening the mast by about 3/8¡± would not leave the standing rigging too long, nor would it reduce head clearance in the cockpit

Re: T27 #12
Real concern would be rot under there. At this point, I'd plan on just pulling up the floor and replacing the under-floor structure, one way or another. If the mast is a half an inch lower than it was

T27 #12
Went up to Eden, Md the other day to look at my boat. It needs attention all over, and I'm still planning to save it. I thought the motor area would be my first concern, but when I looked at the mast

Re: Prop Nut Anode
I recently had this conversation with an experienced surveyor. He has been using a shaft brush on his own boats. Of coarse this requires a hull zinc and bonding system that many Tartans lack. He

Re: Knocked my stern tube loose -- how screwed am I?
Jeremy, T27 hulls were laid up with polyester resin and sometimes a slurry of material that includes various cloths and may or may not include asbestos . It looks to me that your stern tube came loose

Re: Knocked my stern tube loose -- how screwed am I?
Fred, Does your boat have set screws for the cutlass? I did not encounter any that I noticed on mine and was told there aren't anyway. Though I also have an early model (#154) and you have a much

Re: Knocked my stern tube loose -- how screwed am I?
If using a hammer and a block of wood you can move the tube back into position, I would clean and glass the inside with west. If the movment is very easy then sliding past and adding epoxy is ok. I

Re: Knocked my stern tube loose -- how screwed am I?
Hello Jeremy, Since it came loose I have to think it was a problem waiting in the wings. I would be inclined to push it out a little further, clean the surfaces, coat with epoxy, and push it the other

No idea why you are getting a 404 on the google album -- I opened the link in incognito mode and it worked fine. I've uploaded the images here as well, https://imgur.com/a/jUxGcEf I guess my concern

Re: Knocked my stern tube loose -- how screwed am I?
I just want to clarify and add one more thing. In the title I said I knocked the bronze tube loose. But that is an overstatement. It definitely move 1/4" or so -- but if I grab it and try to move it,

Knocked my stern tube loose -- how screwed am I?
Ahoy, I was installing a new cutlass bearing with a home made puller (all-thread, washers, nuts), and my wrench was not long enough to give me enough torque to get the cutlass bearing in all the way.
