sink drain I also have a 73-25, the original setup appears to have gone out a thru-hull, then has been changed to a rather wierd combo drain taking the icebox drain and the sink drain together into the rear bilge. Still haven't decided what I'm going to do about it yet. Let me know if you...

Here's question for all you smaller Ericson owners . I have a 73 E-25 with the swing keel and the mast pivots down from the cabintop fitting for trailering. There is a small fitting that in normal operation sets the position of the boom in the track of the mast. This consists of a slug that...

Hi, just read your post. I also have a '73 E-25, and noticed the same situation on a long downwind run last year. Blowing 30 to 35 and a rather large following sea. By the time I was done I had taken on about 5 to7 gallons in the bilge, normally dry by the way. When I did a little snooping , I...

E25 Tim, I have a 73 ericson 25. Not too far from you, Vancouver Island to be more exact. I would suggest that you look at your window profile on the cabin. If you have the double opposed windows then you're probably into the the 25, if you have the extra single window forward of that , then...

re. mast crutches. I would love to get some dimensions & drawings for those puppies. M.S. Word would work fine for me. It's dark right now , but I'll post the measures for the boom guys for you tommorow. soon Mike.

mast raising rig I have a 1973 E-25. If you can't find the rig you are looking for I can measure mine out for you, and you can have one made up for yours. Meantime I'm looking for specs on the cradles to rest the mast on - stock item, but didn't come with my boat.

I took down the mast on my E-25 for the first time this winter and discovered that the hole for the pivot pin has gone oval in a serious way. does anyone have ideas on the best methods to stabilize this rather critical point?

signet Thanks for your reply. I called signet today myself. You can find their site on the web by searching under signet electronics on Yahoo. They were helpful, but only to the degree that if I was willing to send the offending parts to them at their California address, they would see what...

Hi there. I'm in need of information, and/or access to dealers and tech info for Signet electronics. Mostly to do with their knotmeter and digital sounder. I've cruised their site, but it doesn't give me any dealers or service outlet locations for my area. (Vancouver Island, B.C. Canada). The...

I bought a 25 this spring and hauled her in july. The two things to be aware of are to check the pivot pin for wear and play, and to be careful not to set the swing keel on the grid if you have any growth in the pocket in the hull. bad news if you get the keel stuck in there. good luck .
