    E34-2 Prop Strut

    Prop strut Christian, the original theory was that the leaking fuel tank might have contributed to the loose prop strut, if fuel was causing corrosion. But if there are bolts, they're glassed in. I don't think there could have been enough weight on the bulge to cause the strut to loosen...

    E34-2 Prop Strut

    We removed the fuel tank in our E34-2, and it easily fit through the companionway. The tank was surprisingly light and easy to maneuver. The goal is to replace the aluminum tank (which has been leaking slightly) and to gain access to where the prop strut is glassed in (from above). Under the...

    E34-2 Fuel Tank Removal and Replacement

    I recall reading here that E34-2 owners replacing the fuel tank have had to saw off the corner of the tank to get it up through the companionway. Is this true? Has anyone here been through this enjoyable and educational episode in Ericson ownership? I suppose we'll soon find out whether the...

    Forespar Marelon replacement for RC Marine ball valve on E34 (main sink drain)

    Replacing ball valve for galley sink drain Thank you, GrandpaSteve. The handle broke on the valve on our boat, too. So the size is 1 1/4 inches? The old ball valve seems to say 25 mm on it.

    Does anyone know the correct replacement for the RC Marine ball valve for the seacock for the main sink drain on a 1989 E34? Is it the Forespar Marelon 93 Series or another one? It appears to be 25 mm (1 inch)...

    E34 PYI Dripless Shaft Seal Replacement

    Has anyone here replaced a PYI dripless shaft seal with the updating kit for their E30, 32, 34, 35 or 38? The directions begin: 1. Unbolt the shaft coupling from the transmission coupling. 2. Remove the shaft coupling from the shaft. First question: Is it really necessary to unbolt...
