Our rudder stuffing box is leaking. Looking at a previous thread the problem is addressed for a 35-2. Is the 32's the same ? Can any 32 owners offer any advice. The stuffing box has the 4 bolts as described in the specs,but ours looks a little different than the drawing. Would like to also...
I had to loosen/remove part of the steering quadrant due to alignment and failure of structure. The boat is E32, 1971-72. while the steering is loosened, I tried to check for rudder play from outside the hull. The rudder "play" seems to be about 1/4". Prior to this w/ all steering cables...
I'm going to replace the head rather than rebuild. Leaking connectors and the fixture is exhibiting its age and smell. The boat is 30 years old and the head is a Raritan"compact". Does anyone have feedback -do's-don'ts?
I am interested to learn if your Ericson 32 is still for sale. If so would appreciate some photos and specs. I need 6'2"+ headroom and prefer wheel steering.

I have an old E32 which I use for an educational project in the Northeast.
In order to raise funds for this program, I am exploring the possibility of leasing the boat during dormant seasons, possible during the winter in a southern climate and possibly during July and August in the Northeast...
G-day or nite fellow ericson fans, I have a couple of projects lined up. One is replacing the gate valve in the head. The head sole is aprox 3/4" above the hull. The backing plate is between & the gate valve nut is above the sole.. So far no leaks.. Any suggestions for replacing the g-valve w/...

If you are on the tall side and still want to enjoy sailing the E-32 is for you. If you are tired of banging you head against the backstay while docking or tacking, the E-32 is for you.
And just as important, for cockpit relaxation the E-32 has almost seven feet...
