Thank you very much for the assistance. Thank you very much for your assistance. As it turns out, this is a common issue and to be clear, the bolt came out, but getting it back in is far more complicated. Moyer sells a 'bolt extension' for this specific application, but again, this is not...

I feel like an idiot for asking for help with this, but after 4 hours upside down in the engine compartment, I’m stumped and tapping out. I bought a new water pump for the A4 (in my model it is the raw water pump at the back of the engine) I can not get the bottom bolt in. 4 hours, no luck...

My exhaust riser failed completely yesterday and I have a trip coming up this weekend. This is an Ericson '32-2 with an Atomic 4. I won't be able to get the part from Moyer in time and I am thinking about building it myself. Has anyone done this with success? Many thanks.

I pried out enough to look behind and I didn’t see wiring. I don’t want to trash this beautiful old woodwork. I’m going to run conduit on starboard underneath the shelving

I removed the cove molding from the port side, pried open the boards and I see no evidence of a wiring harness. This sounds like a great plan. But I’m pissed that I have no accessible wiring harness. The whole boat needs to be redone

I’ll pop over and grab a pic tomorrow

What is the cleanest way to remove the trim panel without damaging the wood?

Thanks Kenneth.

Thank you wynkoop. Great advice

I have a 32-2 and am replacing existing wiring. It appears the original wiring is sandwiched between deck layers and completely inaccessible. Is this the case? I am planning on running a pvc conduit from stem to stern,but would love to hear other ideas before I start work. Thanks!

Hi there, looking for a used gennaker for an E32. Anyone trying to unload one? Thanks, Alex

Moored in Blaine Hi Folks, hope to see you out on the water! I'll keep an eye out for your boat. Alex

I have a leaky midway hatch, appears to have just started a week ago. It is coming in between the hatch cutout and the frame. Anyone have a fix for this without having to rip the hatch out, or leaving a messy seal around the edge? Thanks, Alex

Hi Folks, I am new to Ericson, just bought a '71 E32 that I'm loving so far. I was hoping take part in the Rendesvous, but I won't be able to participate on Jul 6-7. I was wondering if there are any of you moored in Blaine WA. That's where I'm at, and I love to get over to Sucia or somewhere...

Just had the marine guys do it They are putting in the Groco's. And having the pro's do it, i have someone to blame if the boat sinks. :-)
