    Hi everyone, I have a brown "sheer stripe" (just under the rubrail) on my 1977 E-29 that has faded and/or oxidized. It has a white milky haze on it. I have used many types of cleaners, polishing compound, rubbing compound, vinyl cleaners (seems to be heavy vinyl) and many other boat and...

    anyone know the width of the E29 keel ?

    I'm looking at a trailer for my E29 and am wondering if the keel tray of the trailer is wide enough for my keel. I'm not talking about front to back length, but the width or thickness. The boat is in the water (55 deg f) so I don't really want to dive to measure it and there are no other...

    E29 Atomic-4 Engine mounts

    I am concerned that the Engine mounts in my E29 for the A4 do not hold the engine captive to the hull. The design of each mount is basically a shoe that is bolted to the engine compartment that receives a rubber foot which has the integral bolt used to secure the A4, and assumes gravity will...

    E29 Cutlass Bearing

    I need to replace the cutlass bearing on my E29, and cannot determine whether it is just the rubber bearing that needs to be pulled, or the bronze sleeve surrounding the rubber bearing as well. If it were the bronze sleeve, i would expect a set screw in the strut which would hold the bearing in...

    E-29 2-Blade Prop for sale

    This summer when I had the boat on the hard--I replaced the standard 2-blade prop with a new Indigo 3 blade prop. I was hoping to increase boat speed, and more importantly minimize prop-walk as I dock in and out of a tight slip. But to my disappointment, the prop walk reduction is hardly...

    E29 Microwave Install?

    Has anyone replaced the standard alcohol two-burner stove with a microwave? I have an E-29 and since we dont cruise (were landlocked) and spend nights docked at the slip with full electrical power--I think it would clearly be more useful to us. Im sure we would have to sacrifice a drawer--but...

    E29: Split in the Transom

    Has anyone seen a split about a centimeter below the top of the transom--along most of the transom? Could it be because Ericson only glassed the inside of the hull-to-deck joint, or is this the sign of collision damage, or something else? I am definitely a newbie at this, but want to be sure...
