Retro fitting an electric windlass Has anyone installed or seen a power windlass installed that will work well with the on deck chain locker Ericsons have? All the power windlass I have seen (vertical & horizontal) are made to feed/guide the chain to a below deck locker. It seems as a...

Anyone have information on either of these two items for the 1987 or newer Ericson 34 shallow draft boatl? I've looked everywhere and no can find.

Fixed Portlight replacement, The four fixed ports are in need of repair or replacement. Has anyone found a good match for the orginals? I have contacted Pacific Sea Craft, Lewmar, Bomar, Minny's & Select Plastics. Pacific Sea Craft mentioned Mark's Plastics. Still waiting for replies from the...

Must have a #6 tape (Harken).

Are there any E34 owners out there in the SF bay area? Wehave a 1987 E34 with a new main and the roller furling jig (approx 95%) is soon to be replaced. We mostly cruise, however, I am an avid participant in the local Benicia Thursday night beer can races. Coming from SoCal, I'd opt for a...

Does anyone know where I can get a tuning guide for an E34? A Catalina 32 walked away from me this weekend and I gotta blame it on the boat 'cause I did everything right!:rolleyes: Seriously, I don't think the rig has been tuned in 13 years. The original owner, from whom I bought it, didn't...

Interested in a decent 115% or 155% headsail. Needs to be in good enough shape to do club racing. Looking for a reasonable price. Prefer dacron, but would consider mylar.

My 1987 E34 with a 4'10 shoal draft has a PHRF of 132 in my area which is consistant throughout other areas. But as I understand it, the same boat with a 6' draft has the same PHRF. Does anyone know if the shoal draft for this boat (or other Ericsons) has been given an allowance...

For sale or trade; 1988 E34 mast & rigging shortened aprox. 40" w/rigging & sails. This is a factory original as near as I can find out. Boat was originally a Florida boat and may have been ordered that way for bridge clearance. All halyard exits, goose neck and other fittings are original...

I purchased an E-34 1988 vintage this spring and just discovered a real problem. Raced on the Wed. night beer can league up here in Mich. with really bad results. Blamed it on poor sails, no folding prop, learning a new boat, etc. To say I was disapointed in it's performance is an...

I have to replace an old refrig in my E34 for the box at the sink. The old compressor was in the aft of the boat, bad. I finally discovered a passage for the tubing. From the port cabin lockers one would not think there was a way to run pipe because of the intervening water tank. If you...

I recently purchased a 1989 E-34. The bottom had almost 300 blisters in the 1.5" to 2" range. Does anyone have any information as to wether this is usual or is my boat an isolated incident?

We're proud owners of a new (for us) 1987 E-34. When we finally moved her to her new home in Benicia, CA, we noticed that she has a noticeable list to starboard. As near as we can tell, she was origianlly fitted with three water tanks (one under the v-berth, one under the port setee and one...

Are there any E-34 owners in the Clear Lake,Tx. area?

I have the full owners manual for my 1987 E34 but am missing the ac and dc wiring diagram pages. If you have please let me know. E35 diagrams may be ok.

Boat Wanted Ericson 32 or 34 Wanted

I am looking for an Ericson 34. Around year 1988. What is the model 34-200 and how does it differ from just a 34? I see some boats listed both ways. Thank you, Dan Green

Was the E34 (1987) designed with a wire ground from the mast to the keel bolts? I do not see such a ground in my recently purchased E34. The original owner installed a replacement mast. Continuity checks reveal that the mast is "connected" to the keel bolts and shrouds but I can not see a...

I really love my newly acquired 1987 E34. A great sailing boat. But does anyone know why it would list slightly to starboard. The fuel tank is just to the port of center. The port water tank is full, starboard is empty. Head and empty holding tank is to starboard. I don't have a clue? Any...

I am in North Carolina.

I started sailing on a E35 in '76 out of Annapolis for a week and have had a E32-200 since '88. Apparently the E35-3 has features and charictoristics which set it appart and make it desirable. Could you describe these? How would it be different that other E35's and why the E35-3 vs the...
