Outstanding! Dan, What a nice job! You're being way to humble! Now, if I did that job, I would believe someone else did it! I'm sure it will serve you well. Re my question, in your pictures, it appears the flange for the access hatch is actually part of the deck and goes all the way over...

Question Hi Dan, I think I found an 'easier' way to relo my windlass. I think I can use the existing pan, cut the cover in half making the back half a hinged cover, the front half fixed for the windlass. (In fairness, I'm copying my neighbors design which works quite well, she used this...

My experiment I think I like the rear 'Master' berth. I've been using it for a couple month now and ready to commit to buying a new mattress to replace the 1989 version. I like the legroom, I do find it a little stuffy once in a while. That was easily fixed with a $19.99 fan from WM. :egrin...

CPT Autopilot After doing a lot of research and a lot of help from the Ericson group here (thank you all!). I ended up with a CPT. It was extremely easy to install, waterproof, super strong, and low draw on the electrical. The biggest negative is that it cannot interface with any of your...

Thanks It only made sense...I studied and looked over the weekend and had to think it was just waiting to be used as storage!:)

Measures Hey Loren, Here ya go, sorry it took so long: For the 38-200, rear berth, the head is 62", length down starboard/engine side is 76", across the foot is 32", back up the port side is 83" and about 6" thick. Jay Celtica SF Bay

Does anybody know what is below the seat in the shower? If it is wasted space, like I suspect, has anybody fabricated a lid and used the space? I.E. a safety storage area or more practcal? Thanks, Jay SF Bay Celtica E38-200

Bpa Hey Steve, So...from your background, do you believe our water tanks have BPA in them? My boat is a 1989 vintage, was BPA even in use then? I tend to agree with you. I let the water run through the water hose for a minute or two, mostly to void any bad taste. And I have a PUR filter at...

Interesting I don't know what to think of the attached as I am a skeptic at heart. That being said, this thread caused me to go 'do the Google' and see what I could find. We've all heard that BPA can leach into plastic products, here's a rebuttal or perhaps a contra opinion...

Water Tanks Not to mention the plastic water tanks we all probably have. The latest buzz word for plastic drinking water bottles is 'BPA Free'. Guess all these poisons have made us stupid after all these years and that is why we continually flush boat bucks down the drain!:scared: What's a...

Measures Hey Loren, Considering that I started this, I'll be back down to mine this weekend and get the measures for a 38-200. If someone can get the others? Jay - Celtica E 38-200 SF Bay

The Bruce King / Ericson intent Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Ericson designate the V-Berth as the master? Could they have gotten it wrong, or was it before the time of the massive master under the cockpit? Jay

Which berth do you guys use as the master berth? V-berth or aft berth? I tried the aft berth yesterday after using the V-berth as the main for four years, I must say the extra foot room is attractive. It may very well become the 'Master Suite'. So, that's the kinda' mini poll. Thanks Jay...

Let's get er done! Hey Dan, I know what you mean, I just got done with my bottom job...gets expensive. Look forward to the finished product! Jay

????? Hey Dan, Did you ever get a chance to finish your project? Jay E 38-200 SF Bay
