    What's under my cockpit bench?

    Recently bought a Simrad autotiller for my 1972 E27. I'll need to drill a hole in the starboard cockpit bench for the autotiller pin cup. From the quarterberth underneath the cockpit bench, it looks (and sounds, when I knock) like the inner surface is not bonded to whatever makes up the cockpit...

    Cockpit Drain Problem

    I am a new owner of a 1983 E 30+. After washing down the decks today I noticed only one cockpit drain is draining. I believe the problem relates to fine debris from local vegetation perhaps clogging the drain line at a low spot. Tried to follow the drain tubes visually but lost them. Then ran a...

    Ericson 34 Owners: Edson helm flexing at cockpit

    This question was posted in a different thread I got some great suggestions on how to fix a flexing helm on a late 80s E34, to add specificity to the question as no E34 owners chimed in, I thought I would create a new thread on the topic: I just inspected an 89' E34 and found that the Edson...

    Adding a portlight/window to cockpit seating to illuminate quarter berth E-32

    Has anyone tried adding a portlight or access plate to the cockpit seating area (on the vertical face of the seat) above the port-side quarter berth? I was thinking about adding one or two at about calf-level when seated to help illuminate the dark cavern that is my quarter berth. I have to...

    E35 mkII cockpit cushions

    So the local guy who does this sort of stuff (biminis, cushions, sail repair) told me his closed cell foam manufacturer Burt down and went out of biz. Can't find good material anywhere he claims. Who do I talk to. How big of a project/investment to do it myself? Any advice?

    E32-2: double lifelines in the cockpit

    To comply with ocean racing rules I need to add a set of lifelines around the cockpit of my E-32. I plan on putting removable netting panels around the pushpit, but anything in the areas of the combings will get in the way of my ability to work the sheet winches. Does anyone have a...

    Cockpit controls for Universal 12 / Ericson 26

    Among my winter projects (I guess it's now spring projects), I found another job when I tried to flip my cockpit 'oil' switch. It broke off. It's next to my key ignition in the lower right corner of my engine control panel for our Universal Model 12 / 1987 Ericson 26 with wheel steering. (By...

    Blue Tooth Audio from the Cockpit

    Thought I would share a great gadget.... I picked up a BlueBridge mini jack Rx. The device enables me to stream music from my blue tooth enabled phone to the stereo receiver on the boat. I was tired of running back and forth to turn up/down the music while in the cockpit (stereo is mounted...

    Cockpit drains - once more...

    Hi all, I know the subject came up more then once... Still want to ask more questions on it :). Would it be terribly wrong if I "tee" the pair of cockpit drain hoses- the ones eventually ending up below the waterline - with those crossed over and draining above the waterline? This will...

    Pictures of E27 Cockpit locker

    My locker goes all the way to the bilge and is open to the engine (removed by PO) compartment. Needless to say, if you throw something in there, it goes a long. way. down. Can anyone send along pics and designs of the original locker compartment config or any useful modifications?

    Cockpit Wheel Top Dead Center Marking

    Hi all, I want to renew my weaved line on my cockpit wheel that marks top dead center for the rudder (probably not the right term--but I'm hopeful that you know what I mean). The old marker was probably original with the boat--and appears to have been "woven" directly onto the wheel. Anyone...

    Cockpit Drains: Going to Bilge? (!)

    Hello, Ericson owners. I have just bought an E27 few weeks ago...still getting to know the boat. I noticed that all 4 cockpit drains connect under the cockpit and drain into the bilge. The bilge does not have an automatic bilge pump. I see a major problem in this setup - if it rains hard a boat...

    E25cb Cockpit Sole Hatch

    I have an E25CB without an inboard. The space under the cockpit sole currently only houses the water tank and battery box. Access is via a small door under the cabin steps. I'm considering ripping out the water tank/battery box and installing an access hatch or two in the cockpit sole. I'll...

    Cockpit Table using Starboard(tm) material

    I would like to show some pictures of the drink holder and cockpit table we made for our 381. We used 1/2 inch thick Starboard(tm) because it is impervious to the marine enviroment. There are two winch handle holders made out of Starboard(tm) on the pedestal legs also. No holes were drilled...

    Cockpit Control Panel

    Have just purchased first sailboat,1974 Erickson 29. The control panel is missing for the cockpit. Could anyone aim me in a direction to replace it or where to get something that would work? It has the A-4 inboard so I would need the key, Blower etc. Any and all advice is appreciated.

    Looking for cushions

    We just got an Ericson 27 that needs to have the cushions thrown away. Now we're looking for the most economical way to get a good looking and comfortable set of cusions for the cabin. Some cockpit ones would be great too. Does anyone have some that they would sell?

    Cockpit Deck Delamination

    I know that much has been written and tested when it comes to deck delamination. My E27 has had the problem in the cockpit sole for several years and I've just ignored it.

    Cockpit drain leak

    We have a E-35, Mark III. Over the winter one or more of the 4 cockpit drain hoses froze and I'm assuming burst. Result was a very wet bilge which we've been pumping out. The hoses and connections are anything but easy to get at. Any suggestions on repairing them? Many thanks, John...

    Cockpit Drain Lines

    Cockpit Coaming: Remove/Repair

    I'm planning in removing the coaming boards on my 32-2 to refinish them. Does anyone know how the screws are fastened to the fiberglass? Directly screwed in, or does each screw fit into some sort of anchor? I've looked through the archives, but can't find the answer to this question. Thanks.

    2nd handset for radio in cockpit?

    My E27's cockpit has a jack that I recently realized was for a radio handset. After some research, I realized what a great thing it would be to have a 2nd handset on my radio right there by the wheel. After looking further, it seems there are specific radios that are arranged with 2...

    Cockpit drain hose leak

    Wood on the side of cockpit

    The E-38 I'm looking at, is a 1982. It has wood on the side of cockpit, where the winchs are. Was this an option from Ericson? It looks good! I haven't see it on other Ericson's of that era.
