I have power to the anchor light and steaming light

I can only guess that it is as old as the boat, 1984? The mast data plate from Kanion does look like it was made in 1987, so mayne a gew years newer?

I am considering installing an electrical access plate sold from rigrite to gain access to my wiring just above my mast step on my 30+. The reason for this is because I am not getting power to my foredeck light. I have power to the light inside the boat prior to exiting to the mast step. I am...

I am finally starting the hatch lense replacement. What is the thickness of the acrylic you ordered from Tap Plastics?

I have a 1984 30+ and have noticed that a small trickle of water runs down the wires that are behind the wood trim piece in the head. These wires run up the mast also. What have others done to fix this issue? Is there supposed to be a drain hole somewhere on the mast near the mast step to let...

I was moping up some water in my bilge with my wet/dry vac and decided to clean under an inspection plate for the aft keel bolt. The water was from rebuilding my head pump (yuck). I can see the bolt clearly but the nut looks like a rusty mess. It does not look like the nut could have been...

I want to add an hour meter on my 30+ to track maintenance. Where have others placed theirs? My engine instrument area does not have enough room to put it. Also how have others connected their hour meter? I was thinking about attaching the positive side to somewhere on the engine where it reads...

Hi I am a new to me owner of a 1984 Ericson 30+. I am interested in replacing my forward and aft hatch lenses as they are severely crazed. I have heard that they were manufactured by Lewmar but dont have a part number to cross reference to find a replacement. Can anyone who has replaced theirs...
