    Installing Midship cleats on Ericsson 34- Advice?

    Thanks Dave, that’s actually a really interesting idea and something absolutely to consider. Avoiding major deck drilling and backing plate access would definitely simplify things quite a bit. For those familiar with these Schaefer-style rail cleats on Ericsons: - Are they considered strong...

    Installing Midship cleats on Ericsson 34- Advice?

    Hi everyone, I’m considering installing proper midship cleats on my Ericson (Paloma) primarily for spring lines, docking, and dinghy tie-offs. Before I start drilling holes in the deck, I wanted to ask if anyone here has installed midship cleats on an Ericson 34 (or similar Ericson model). A...

    Replacing Missing Mast Base Cover – E34-2

    Hi Jeff, I took some measurements today. The hatch opening is roughly about 30" long x 12" wide, and the existing sole thickness appears to be right around 1/2" thick (possibly just slightly under once measured more precisely). The actual replacement section I need is fairly small, so if anyone...

    Ericson 34-2 Wine Rack Location?

    Hey everyone — the previous owner of my Ericson 34-2 just found and returned this original teak wine rack/storage rack that apparently came with the boat. Does anyone happen to know exactly where this piece was originally mounted from the factory? If possible, photos of the original location...

    Replacing Missing Mast Base Cover – E34-2

    Thanks, this is super helpful and confirms what I was starting to learn digging into it further. Sounds like the original teak & holly laminate plywood is probably the ideal route, but for my small bilge hatch replacement it’s hard to justify buying an entire 4x8 sheet right now when I likely...

    Replacing Missing Mast Base Cover – E34-2

    Just starting to work through interior restoration items on my 1989 Ericson 34-2 refit. One area I’m trying to improve is the mast/compression post area where the mast meets the cabin sole. The original cover/trim piece appears to be missing and a previous owner installed a rough plywood cover...

    E34-2 Working through a full electrical refit on my Ericson 34-2

    Working through a full electrical refit on my Ericson 34-2 (PALOMA) Planning a lithium + bus bar setup and trying to avoid the usual wiring chaos. Curious how others here are handling: • Solar + alternator charging together • Bus bar layouts vs direct battery wiring Any setups or lessons...

    Refit Log #3 – Electrical Baseline Check

    Still working through the boat and starting to focus a bit more on the electrical system to establish a solid baseline. From what I can tell so far, the system appears mostly original, and I haven’t made any changes yet — just observing and trying to understand how everything is currently set...

    E34-2 Refit Log #2 – Initial Look & Getting Oriented

    Refit Log #2 – Initial Look & Getting Oriented Still in the early stages of getting familiar with the boat and starting to go through everything. So far, I’ve mainly been taking a general look at the condition and layout before diving deeper into individual systems. Overall impressions: •...
