Final update So after select plastics tells me he can't fix it, (same guy is hatchmasters and select plastics) I have a glass guy at the house for some sealed windows and ask him and show him the frame....he says no problem, cuts the piece of Lexann installs in frame and back to me the next...

Select plastics useless Update. So I remove the frame, photo it and send to select plastics...aka hatch masters ame company and the self-described "hatch guru" calls me and says he doesn't like my frame, hated it when it came out in 1988, says he can't fix, and tells me to try it myself. But...

thanks Thanks to all. i did locate a member who has the tempered glass....but not sure i can do all the sealing of the glass in the frame just perfectly so in addition to hatchmasters, there is also Select Plastics in Connecticut that do this. called them 203-866-3767 and they do the whole...

Seeking a starboard side aft fixed port for 1988 Ericson mark III. (right above the stove) Repaired leak three years ago and last evening I stood for 5 minutes as the glass just cracked totally before my eyes. Anyway, looked at the hassle to replace the tempered glass in the frame and figure if...

does anyone know the brand of shower handle used in 1988 35-3 model. mine broken by prior owner and i figured no big deal to replace but cant find one that fits correctly. and taking out and replacing is a major job to get behind the wooden framework. thanks Greg Harris

thanks mort. the more i have read i think the issue is the length that the shaft extends beyond the cutlass bearing. I have read somewhere 1.5 times the diameter of the shaft I think. thanks greg

had new beta marine 25 engine installed on my 1988 Ericson 35-III by a yard in New Jersey. The engine comes with a flexible coupling to fit the prop shaft to the engine and Beta says to use it. the quite experienced owner of the yard claims flexible couplings are for people who cant properly...

ericson 35-III beta marine 25 repower I went with the beta marine 25 to replace the universal 25. Quite pleased with the result. Had the yard drop the new engine in, and allign with prop shaft. They had to grind out a bit of the front bearer bed for the oil pan to clear and fabricated engine...

I need to replace the universal M25-XPB engine in my 1988 Ericson 35 Mark III. I have read an old post that the Kubota D-950 is the same engine. Has anyone actually done this?? A new M25_XPB engine, transmission runs $10,000 in New Jersey or $8600 out of Virginia plus labor to put it in. I...
