e352

I am rebuilding my hatch covers and was wondering if anyone knows where to get some strong glass. I saw a pic of wassail online. It had some nice slightly tinted hatch covers. I'd be grateful for any advise Thanks Barry

Hi all, I'm going through the surveyor's findings and recommendations on a 35-2 I'm considering purchase of, and the survey include the replacement of upper and lower rudder beariings. After speaking with a yard about this, it's clear more information is needed. So, how does one go about...

Hi all, I've sold my beloved E27, Symbiosis, and moving up (hopefully soon) to an E35-2. We hauled the E35-2 today and found that the port side had blisters below the water line. Blisters don't scare me terribly much, but it's these that have me scratching my head a little: They're...

Hi can anyone help me find a suplier of the cabinet hinges fitted to My E35-2 .( Attached Pic.)I have tried emailing Hamilton Marine but have not yet recieved any reply, so it needs to be someone who will ship to the UK Thanks in advance. Ian

Has anyone had any experience of the South Pacific vertical Anchor windlass? I am about to run the cables to the peak of my E35-2 and like the idea that these units with their spur gears are not so power hungry as the conventional worm driven type. so I could save a bit on cable size. or, what...

Anyone selling a Bimini for a E35-2? Anyone know of some who is or manufactures them?

It seems early but my local yard is booking winter storage already. This year I want to drop my rudder to overhaul the foil, mechanism, replace my cutlass bearing etc. I know I need to have the boat blocked higher than usual but as I can't get down to her till next week I hoped someone who has...

My fuel tank is in good condition, except there is corrosion in the forward starb. corner. Anyone know if this can be corrected without removing the tank (or the engine)? For example, is there some sort of gloop that can be added though the fill? I think it is the original and made of Monel...

As the engine mounts on my 1972 E35-2 had rusted away, and I need to fit a new engine anyway. To give us a bit more room I have decided to re-locate the engine under the companionway steps. Has anyone else out there done it? All the brochures and plans I have found so far have shown the engine...

Hi, I am in the processof rebuilding a 35 here in the UK, I am curently into the guts of the yacht specialties cable steering and wondered if anyone could tell me why the wire after leaving the pedestal goes around 2 pulley's on the port side but 3 on the starboard side before going to the...

I have looked at the attached pic many times, but I recently noticed that she is flying a stay sail along with the jib. I was wondering if any E35-2 owners use a stay sail and what - if any - special rigging you have to manage this addition to the sail plan. Thanks! Elwyn

I am sure someone knows this one: how do the wires get to the mast on a 35-2? It appears that they would run under the corner moldings in the head and then out the roof, but it would suck to rip all that finely finished wood out to find it ran through the roof. What is the best way to get...

Our much loved Ericson 35 is up for sale. I hate to admit that I'm getting older and slower but it's the truth we all must face at some time. Because of this we have decided to seek a new owner for this beautiful vessel. She's located near Belhaven, NC and can be seen by appointment only...

Are all Erickson keels bolted on? I was under the impression that mine was made in 2 haves and with the keel molded in. Am I wrong? I have a 76 E35 mk2. When I had it out of the water last year I could not find a seam between the Keel and hall.email me please michaelnolley@hotmail.com

I recently acquired an E-35-2 and have been experiencing some problems with my engine. The undocumented engine hours are less than 500 on a 1999 Atomic 4 diesel. Should I be facing a large $$ cost for repair, I would appreciate any thoughts or comments regarding the possibility of re-powering...

Hi guys, OK, US Sailing can supply 2 products for us. The cadillac product, at $275 for members, gives FULL polars at 1 or 2 degree wind angles and 2 knots wind speed increments, and gives optimal sail combo solutions for each point of sail. Also included is a package to upload onto Deckman...

This has been touched on in other threads, but I'm still not sure how to handle. Would appreciate advice. The cockpit drains on the e35-2 drain to throughhulls p&s. (Not sure where the helmsman well drains - does it T in? ) When the throughulls are closed, rainwater backs up into the cockpit...

My 35-2 has what looks like the original engine starter panel in the helmsman's cockpit well on the starboard side. A tachometer is also in the well but it is mounted on the rear bulkhead facing forward (i.e., under the helsman's seat on the star. side). The tach is completely unreadable...

just purchased a 1980 e35-2. One of the problems the boat has is a leak in the aux. water tank under the cabin floor. Would like to by-pass the tank and if possible remove the tank, would lie to know if anyone has had a problem like this. Trying to find a good drawing of the layout of the...

Im looking at replacing the steering system in my E35-2. It seems that the two metal plates that are glassed in to the haul are getting ready to let me down at a very bad moment. The plates are very rusted out at the bottom and port side plate has a lot of play in it when you are steering the...

Looking for a bimini for my E35. I am located in So. Cal. Bomr

I am interested in adding some canvas to my newly acquired 1973 E35-2. The boat has a dodger that needs to be redone, but I need something to provide a little shade while I am at the helm. I am having trouble figuring out a good bimini setup with the position of the traveler at the rear of the...

I have a 1979 Ericson 35-2 that has a leaking diesel tank. The tank is located behind the engine under the cockpit. Has anyone replaced this type of tank? How is this accomplished? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, John

I am considering buying an Ericson 35. I have sailed most of my life but never owned a boat. I'd like comments, good, bad or indifferent on an Ericson 35 with a keel laid in the late 70s. Is there anything I need to look for that has been an issue on other boats and I need to consider before...

Hello I have reached an hiatus point in my proposed purchase of the cheap E35-2 I bought on ebay. My problem is this: whilst falling asleep last night dreaming of beautiful sails in my new boat, a sudden and horrible acronym popped into my head; RCD. I am not sure if this means much in the US...

Hello again, Can anyone give me a close figure to what it would cost in materials to replace the standing rigging and bottlescrews on an E35-2 in Florida? I will do everything but cut the wire and swage the terminals. Thanks again. Nicki

Hello, Great forum. A real boon to someone who has rashly bought a boat, unseen, thousands of miles away. I have compiled a short list of buy/not buy criteria for the E35 I have bought, but paid nothing for yet, for $6100 on ebay. I would appreciate it if one of you with better knowledge that...

I am having a long standing problem with a leaky rudder packing. The way it is designed, the groove for the waxed linen is in the upper removable disk, flange, thingy, and the lower one (that is glassed into the rudder tube is flat on top). No matter how tightly I try to pack it with packing it...

My '77 e35-2 needs new packing around the rudder post and I don't have easy access to measure the diameter - anyone happen to know if the shaft is 2 3/8, 2 7/8 or 3 1/2? Also - any hints from one who has re-packed the 35-2 rudder will be appreciated - ie: can it be done completely from the...

My 35-2 has the bow light setup where there are two separate lights one red, one green...I wnat to replace them, but I am only finding the Bi-colored variety offered on the websites I have visited....Can anyone suggest a source for the Uni-colored variety (or are they obsolete?) Thanks, David

Looking at a “project” ’72 E35. It has some obvious problems—like the cabin fire :egrin:—but I digress. Take a look at the photo of the mast step area, note the crack. It looked a bit largish to be a garden variety cosmetic gelcoat crack. There wasn’t any noticeable sponginess or sag in the...

A 1978 E35-2 has popped up on eBay - starting at $1000 - no reserve. Take a look... //sse

I'm thinking about rigging a shower in the head. Anyone have a picture or diagram of the shower set up?? John

On my E35-2, the two little midship bulkheads that go into the cabintop both squeek in a swell. I think I need to explain better what I'm talking about. One of them sits between the stove and the settee, and the other between the nav station and the "U" shaped dinning area. They go into the...

New owner.. finally got enough courage to remove trimwork to expose my main chainplates. Expected to find rotten wood (as most of the bulkhead, port, is rotten at top) but was surprised to find both port and stbd chainplates firmly bolted to 1" of glass tabbed to hull sides. WOW. I was...

I am wondering if anyone can lead me to my fresh water holding tank? I am new owner of E35-2 1979, Hull 556 in New Orleans, LA, and the p/o sells the vessel with little knowledge of the boats systems. The pressure water pump seems to be sucking air, so I am going to refill the tanks, but I was...

I took out the cabin carpet of my E35-2 and found the fiberglass floor to be stained. Thinking about having a teak and holly floor to cover it. I'm not a carpenter, but can do some pretty basic woodworking. QUESTIONS: Is there an existing cabin sole template for E35-2's that I could use to...

Finally grown tired of my original curved track traveler in front of my wheel pedestal and ready to upgrade to Harkin straight track with pullies. Inspected another E35-2 on my dock and noted that they upgraded with a straight track and also installed a stainless bracket below the track for...

A few months ago the was a series of posts on a manual for the E35-2. The last post I saw had it being sent to someone to make a PDF file of so that it could be posted. Does anyone have any information on where the project stands now? :confused:

Has anyone got some pictures or drawings of a good cockpit table design for a 35-2. It will have to be easily installed and removed due to the traveller location on these boats. Thanks for any help. Pat Lion's Den E35-2

Does anyone know a source, and approximate prices for: Stern Rail Stanchions Rub rail Boom Track along the gunwales (not sure of the proper name). Spreader? Gareth Freyja E35 #241 1972

If the comments on the Ericson list on Sailnet are correct then I have an oddity. According to the list I have the only keel stepped mast on a E35-2. Is this true?

I have removed mahogany cover and found that the original chainplate bulkhead had been reinforced by a previous owner. It looks like they also added (2) more stainless brackets for more support. One bracket is in the head on the other side of the bulkhead, and the other partly overlaps the...

E35-2 Questions - Chain Plates; Rub Rails, etc. There is a 1979 35-2 for sale in my marina. It almost lost the rig a while back when the stbd upper shroud pulled out of the main bulkhead. Practical Sailor mag says that rot in the main bulkhead can be a problem in the 35-2. Soooo . . ...

Have bilge wood support rot problem under sole flooring in bilge area between nav table and stove of E35-2. Does anyone experience replacing this support? Does anyone know purpose of this support? Does it give support to sole flooring or does it give support to hull and keel?

I have available a 3/4oz tri-radial chute (white/all purpose) in excellent condition made by Fracker in Cleveland, Ohio. Built to fit I of 40' and J of 14' (E35-2 short rig). It is numbered. Yours for $800. Call 419.433.8809 or [email]kgbache@aol.com.

Backing over the stern line of a fore and aft mooring can be tough on your shaft strut. Can anyone tell be where I can obtain a new strut for my 1974 E35-2?

I would like to add weight to the keel of my 35-2. I am told that the hollow space which exists in the keel of these boats (forward of led casting) is sufficient for 400 lb of extra lead shot. Has anyone already done this. It would be great to talk to someone who has before I begin. Anyone? I'm...

I'm in Sydney Australia and considering purchasing a 1982 E35 I think a version 2. Can anyone give me some positives and negatives of the design. This particular one sailed from the US some years ago. I notice in one of the posts there is some mention of the rudder needing modification re...

Hi - I've seen informaiton on the E35 where some owner said he had a 14" prop. Most A4 Props are 12X7. I'm wondering what is the largest Dia prop one can put on this hull and use the current shaft? I'm installing a M4-30 and with the 2:1 drive a 12" prop cannot be pitched even with a 3 blade...

My 1980 came with two 25gal water tanks. The one under the sole right above the keel has sprung a leak. Has anyone ever renoved and replaced one. I have removed all of the fasteners from the portion of the sole above it but, it the sole still seems to held down by somthing. Did they glue it...
