    There is a nice E28+ on the Seattle Craigslist right now. FYI.

    Looking for an E27, E28, or E29. Have advice or a boat? (PNW, Wanted, WTB)

    M12 White smoke exhaust

    Hello again. I’m running the m12 now. I have been running it everyday for a week. Yes, the exhaust is smoky like a truck in smell, the white smoke lays on the surface of the water then finally evaporates about 10ft out, at water level. it takes three tries with lots of glow plugs on a cold...

    M12 White smoke exhaust

    I have an E28 with the original Universal diesel. I just replaced the injectors and master. She sounds and runs good at all speeds but when starting or when at high rpm it throws a bunch of white smoke. It gets markedly less after 10mins The power is great, no head gasket problem it seems...

    M-25XP Universal diesel for sale

    E28+ diesel M12 The universal is legendary in my opinion. I went through the same logic as per the above figuring a 40 year old direct water cooled diesel with less HP than my lawnmower and 4000 hrs was ready for retirement. Wrong. That works to just 100 hrs per year. Just maintain it and use...

    E28+ repower

    I totally appreciate your good advice on doing my own troubleshooting. The thing is, anything more complicated than a kitchen sink exhausts everything I know how to do.....except split a rubber washer that is extinct probably, But to the point, the engine has new injectors, new alternator, new...

    E28+ repower

    Hello. Just try to find a mechanic. Im still waiting but I’m going to take all your advice. Starting with a quick look at the glow plugs then mech injector to try to get it up and running again. If not I was told the small Beta works well ,,, but then I see they don’t hav a distributor this side...

    E28+ repower

    Excellent. I will look at a Betta which I guess is a sister to Kubota. But I’ll be replacing the Hurt trans also. Are electrics out there too?

    E28+ repower.

    So it’s time to replace my M12 Universal. Winmar 20hp Or electric hybrid? Experience on what fits? This is for weekend cruising in the Puget Sound. Is electric cheaper?

    E-28 diesel universal

    I parked in a slip all this year and can’t start the original M12 for the first time ever. It cranks with the batteries fine but won’t catch. I even get a small bit of cooling water out the transom. I think it’s lack of fuel, in which case, where is the condensate drain?

    Ericson 30+ (1987) for $8,500 (Southern California)

    that Universal engine should last and last. My answer was to get a kicker but I’ve never used it.
  13. R

    What's the most HP an Ericson 29 can handle?

    The Universal Diesel on my E28 scared me when I bought it three years ago. It is water cooled with 4000hrs so I installed a kicker. Here’s the thing, the Universal still runs like a Swiss watch. Realize 4000hours over 40years is a low 100 hrs per year. The kicker outboard is for sale.

    Rebuild or Repower?

    Let me suggest one thought that swayed me under your circumstance. Use the military approach and employ simplistic redundancy instead of replacement if the inboard looks lively. Save $ and get A 9hp kicker. Done and done.
