conversion

Hi all, We have a 1976 E-32. We are looking to install a refrigeration system to the icebox. I have looked on-line at various types of units and I am not sure which way to go, evaporator type or cold plate. I am interested in hearing pros and cons of each. I understand the running time of...

About a year ago, I purchased a 32 foot Ericson Yacht with a Universal Atomic 4 engine. Despite all efforts the Atomic 4 has failed me over and over again. I have the money to replace the Atomic 4 with a Diesel, but after becoming a fan of the Pardeys I've considered removing the Atomic 4 and...

Hi, Our 1978 E34t's original traveler is located just aft of the companionway - great for sail handling, less than ideal for cruising with kids and dog. Last weekend we noticed an aloha that had a similar setup to ours, where the owners had moved the sheet to the cabin top using a bridle...

I am wondering on any suggestions on replacing my head which is a standard discharge type head to like an electro scan or some other eco friendly solutions that could be done without a holding tank. P.s. Not to handy with a wrench may have to pay to have the work done so what would be the best $...

Just converted Scandalous (E27) from gas to electric. Uses four lead batteries and is capable of hull speed. Using a 48 volt system and cost under 5K for the complete conversion. Located in San Diego. :egrin: Anyone considering this, I would be happy to advise. Don at postal6@juno.com

Anyone out there have tiller parts after converting to wheel on an E 27???? Could really use tiller/rudder head for rebuild on E 23-1

I'm considering converting my E-27 from tiller to wheel steering. Has anyone has any experience with this kind of project?

I have the origional 3 burner w/ oven alcohol stove aboard my 1976 E36C. I need to either convert the burners to propane or replace them with new alcohol ones. My problem is that the current burners are cast steel worn and dont burn clean. Because they do not burn clean,they soot up the...

Apparently, I have one of the few remaining 23-2's without a main sheet traveler. Just a padeye on the cockpit sole. Now that I have a new paint job, bottom paint, new main, and outboard motor, I guess its time to shake the piggy bank again and upgrade the sail controls. So all of you who have a...

I'm going to be dropping the mast on "The Dawg" (for her annual rig inspection) and thought I might convert to internal halyards. Anyone have any advice.. Pros--Cons. Thought I might borrow a friends Plasma Cutter to cut the slots (:confused: can you use a plasma cutter on Aluminium?) Please...

Has anyone converted their idiot oil pressure light to a conventional gage? :confused: It's clearly comforting to see the actual pressures, like a car, if the light comes on, perhaps it's too late to prevent some degree of damage. Thanks, Steve Universal 5424 or M30 hard to tell...

Anyone know where to get these? I have an 89 E 38-200. I don't recall right now the stove manufacturer, I'll look tonight. I was hoping to not have to replace the whole stove. I know I will need some valves for the stove, a tank, boat already has the locker, new lines, and a solenoid. What else...

SURPRISE Deux, an Ericson 25 would not make sternway no matter what I tried. While looking though the manual I found out that the boat should be powered with an extra long shaft outboard. The previous owner had this sternway problem too, only his solution was to go with more power, a 15 hp...

I recently purchased a 1973 E29 with a tiller and plan on doing some longer distance cruising and like the ease of wheel steering. I have thought about converting the tiller to a pedestal/wheel. What year/hull# did they start building the 29 with a wheel? Has anyone gone through converting...

I have an E29 which I would like to convert to internal halyards. Anyone out there made this conversion? Anyone have any advise before I jump into this project? Dave

The time has come to rebuilt the pump on our Raritan PHII manual head. While browsing the Port Supply catalog, I noticed there is an electric conversion kit available. Given that I'm willing to part with the $$$, does anyone have any coments about doing this. We have an E34 and do mostly...

I am currently looking at a 1983 Ericson 28, but I want to convert the tiller to a wheel. Can anyone advise me on this. Thanks.

My 1984 E-28 has an M-15 engine, (old model no 5411). My owners manual for the engine clearly shows that it is a salt water cooled engine. However, my engine definitely has a cooling circuit with an externally mounted heat exhanger. Did Westerbeke ever make a closed coolant circuit version...
