    E25 Peculiarities- what to look for?

    Hello, owners, I hope to join your ranks soon with the purchase of an E 25. I am hoping some members can let me know of the particularly noteworthy things about this model to look for - good and bad. I have read of at least two of these models in the forums where the soft deck appears to have...

    Ericson 25 Rudder Repair

    E25 Cradle

    I'm about to start on the manufacture of a cradle for the E25 so that I can work on the centerboard now and in the future. I intend laminating three 3/4" exterior plywood sheets together to make Keel Profiles at two places: 6" or so in front and back of the centerboard cavity. These two...

    outboard for E-25?

    When I bought my boat last year, the deal did not include the engine. The former owner let me have free use of it for the majority of a year, however. Finally, he came to retrieve it, and I need a replacement. What it was running was an 8 horse Tohatsu 2 stroke w/ alternator, and electric...

    E-25 hull shape

    I've had my '74 E-25 for about 3 months or so and I'm very happy with it so far. Moving up from a Hunter 23 has made a lot of difference. I do have a design question. On boats this size and smaller with centerboards or fixed keels, I've noticed that the hull aft of the keel has a gentle...

    e-25 Outboard Battery Cable...route to battery box?

    I have on my e-25, an older 7.5 hp Merc with electric start and an alternator so that batteries charge when the motor runs. Access to my battery box is in the cabin, under the steps. My portable gas tank is located in the gas locker (in the cockpit starboard-side storage box) with the fuel...

    New E25 Centerboard and Rudder

    Just a note to say that my new E25 centerboard and rudder worked flawlessly (pics were shown in a previous post). The new centerboard, made out of High Density Plastic with a lead-weighted tip (about 50# total weight of the board) was a joy to work with. Just a quick pull with the hands and up...

    E25 Boom Needed

    I have a broken boom and it ain't fixable. Sooooo, I need to replace it. Don't ask, I did something really stupid. The extrusion cross-section doesn't appear to be manufactured anymore. I have a new loose-footed main. What are my options? Is there something out there now that I should...

    Water in E25 bilge

    I've found water in the bilge under the head and forward sole access plates. However, there is no water under the rear sole access plate where the bilge pump pickup is found. Are there limber holes to move the water aft? If not, is there a way to get the water to the bilge pump? Again, thanks.

    Rig tension for E25

    Being new to my E25 (#137) and and having owned only fractional rigs before, I have questions about several things. Because a masthead rig is new to me, I'll start with rig tuning. I've read the posts here and on several web sites where opinions vary widely. So, I started with the owners manual...

    Need to move Bow Eye, E-25

    Hi - just brought my new old '74 E25 (#137) home and I'm in the process of getting it ready for the water. I'm moving up from a Hunter 23 (it's for sale btw) and so far I'm impressed by the increased quality of the Ericson. Seems like a much stronger boat with better quality of finish...

    E25 New Centerboard and Rudder Pics

    Here are four pictures of the new centerboard and rudder that I had Idasailor Marine build for me out of high density rigid polymer. I haven't sailed them yet but am relieved that the centerboard project is really done now, fixed right, and maintenance free. Incidentally, I took Bob Boe's...
