Main Message Board / LEAKING COWL VENTS
November 13, 2006, 07:23:06 AM
The ECLIPSE is a 86 model, hull #22 , I have the 2 cowl vents leaking for some time now and have taken them off, with no results in fixing the problem. This past trip, last week on the way home I got into one heckava storm and the vents just pored water in, even with the vents turned away from the wind.I also have trouble with the step mast leaking inside...any help with be appriciated before I take them off again this week...I have checked the FAQ.& SEARCH section with no avail. Thanks

I ALSO HAVE A 86 , HULL #22, I JUST REPLACED MY AB ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AFTER ABOUT 13 YRS, I ALSO HAVE REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT,MODEUAL AND EVAPORATOR,WHICH WAS MY FAUL... ANYWAY I ORDERED IT FROM DEFENDER FOR LESS THAN 900 AND THAT INCL. THE LARGE EVAPORATOR #152 , 14 LBS.....I JUST GOT TIRED OF FOOLING WITH IT AND AM LEAVING THIS WEEK END FOR 4 WEEKS AND JUST WANTED TO GET IT WORKING AGAIN... IT'S INSTALLED AND AM HAPPY WITH IT, BUT THE EVAPORATOR DOES TAKE UP ALOT MORE ROOM THAN THE SMALLER ONE....
GOOD LUCK

RON IS RIGHT, MY FRIDGE WAS DOING THE SAME THING, AFTER REPLACEING THE THERMOSTATE, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY MORE PROBLEMS.
GOOD LUCK.

WELL, I JUST TURNED 70 THIS PAST JAN. AND HAVE SAILED THE ECLIPSE FOR 12 YRS. 1986 #22, SOOOO YOU CAN SEE THERE MAYBE NO END TO HOW LONG YOU CAN SAIL HA...BY THE WAY I TURNED 70 IN JAN. WHILE CREWING WITH MY FRIEND ON HIS 47 CATALINA THAT HE HAD JUST BOUGHT...WE RAN THE FT. LAUDERDALE /KEY WEST RACE IN JAN 06..WE RAN 11TH OUT OF 38 BOATS NOT TO BAD , MY FRIEND IS 72 BUT WE DID HAVE A COUPLE OF YOUNG BUCKS WITH US ,IN THE 50'S. THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD TRIP FROM PENSACOLA,FL TO FT. LAUDERDALE AND BACK, ALMOST NONE STOP, I TURNED 70 ON THE WAY BACK IN THE GULF, IT WAS COLD IN JAN.
THE ONLY THING I CAN SEE DIFFERENT IS THAT I'M A BIT SLOWER HA....
