I now have the former FYC (Ford Yacht Club on Grosse Ile) "Quixotic" E381 at Port Huron Yacht Club. There are 3 Ericson 35-2s directly across from me in the harbor. All beautiful boats. Now that I have Quixotic, "Moonshadow" is now for sale! :egrin:

Have you by chance got a size for that o-ring or just approximated? I got the "official" deck plate o-rings from Perko and they're to big for any of my fill plates. I wonder if they either changed the design or if Ericson didn't use Perko...

Boat swap?

Does it snap or secure in some way to the lazarette?

I'll need to check yours out the next time we take the S.S. Badger to Wisconsin.

I've thought about these as well, having seen them (or something similar) on either pulpit corner of a friend's Hunter 336. Zarcor (who made the swiveling drink holders I have on either side of my steering pedestal hoop, and make a very quality product) offers them, albeit not for free...

http://www.teakflex.com/helmseat.htm That does look very nice. I do some other planned projects with PlasTeak so I may add this one to the list.

Absolutely gorgeous! The E35-3 actually benefits from having the aft lazarette seat hinged from the side rather than aft, such that a seat in this configuration wouldn't even need to be removed to access what's within. Just bolt it straight to the existing flat helm seat and leave it. In terms...

I realize this is an old thread, but I'd also be interested in a humped helm seat (and also have an E35-3 with a flat one at present). Looks like this thread didn't go far, but I'd be curious if you ever found a solution or a seat, or even perhaps made one. Shoot - I'd even be interested in...

How many winches are on your 34? Just so we can make it statically significant...

Fully agreed. Along with a nice helm cover it really makes things neat and tidy when the old girl is put away. And gives the kids something to do when getting back to port. I made a set of them for our E35-3 out of some Sunbrella that came with the boat. I plan on doing a Blog post on them. I...

Ah - already replied prior to seeing this. Oh well - now there's a convenient link within this thread. Lemonade from lemons!

All - I did upload it a while back in the resources area. My link is here - let me know if this works: https://ericsonyachts.org/ie/resources/galley-maid-alcohol-range-manual.184/

Great! Plans and parts-list for your puller would also be appreciated. There's a huge community of inboard boaters who would benefit from that! Thanks for the update, and looking forward to seeing the video!

I had success in replacing the cutlass bearing on my 35-3, but not without removing the prop shaft (which require removing the rudder). In my case, I welcomed the removal of the rudder to replace the lower grease zerk and in general check the condition of the shaft and be able to sand and fair...
