ericson

Hi, I'm looking to replace our exisiting 3 blade prop with a 2 blade. I think the 3 blade is too small as the boat barely powers at 4 3/4 knots. No tachometer on the boat though. Anyone have this boat and 2 cylinder diesel with a gear ratio of 2.62? Is hull speed about 5.5 knots? Thanks, David

We just purchased an Ericson 32 in California and will be moving her to BC shortly. It is our first "big" boat. New engine, Universal diesel 3 cyl (46 hours) but they left the old prop a 13x10 fixed 3 blade. Almost hopeless to try and reverse with that thing it kicks to port so badly, plus...

Does anyone know of a source for parts for an old ericson 29? I need the 8" x12" (approx.) ignition panel in the cockpit.

I just purchased a 1970 E29. Except for soap and water and a little engine work, the boat appears to be in pretty good shape. Sails included. Does anyone know where to find replacement globes for the cabin light fixtures? The cabin cushions are pretty tattered and need to be recovered. Any...
