forward

My 1987 E26-2 jib sheets get caught under my closed front hatch when I tack. I might try to put two small 'guards' to fill the gap under the forward corners but before I try to make something, who out there already has this problem figured out? Joe.

Sigh. My Atomic 4 (1984) is giving me a very curious problem. The engine stalls in forward. When it's cold it will run in forward for about a minute and then gradually depower and stall. When it's hot it stalls immediately. The motor runs fine in Neutral and in reverse. The problem...

Currently installing a windless and decided to paint the hatch underside. So i removed the hatch and noticed some excess moisture dripping from the edge and decided to do some investigative work only to fine the balsa core soaked. my question is, does this hatch require a core product for...

Howdy all, This is my first post, so please bear with me! I just purchased a '73 Ericson 27 ... to put it mildly, some areas have lots of "deferred maintenance." The hull, rigging, interior, and outboard were all fine (had it surveyed), but there are a few items that need some help (I got...

Aloha, I have a '79 E-35 that I want to move the traveler to over the cabin (for several reasons, the main one is to allow a full bimini for the cockpit). If you have done this or know anyone who has done it I would like to know how successful it has been (i.e. is hauling the main to...

I just inherited a 1983 E28+ this season. When the boat was commissioned, we were told that water needed to be pumped out of the two compartments under the forward berth (the more forward one, holding the spare anchor, and then the larger one directly behind it). We surmised at the time that...

Anyone out there ever encounter this, or know of a way to fix: My E39 was repowered by a previous owner back in the late 1980s, converted from an Atomic 4 gas engine to a Universal M40 Diesel. The installation looks like it was professionally done EXCEPT that, on the pedestal, you must pull...

The E35-II has the wheel way aft, behind a barrier. This gets the helmsman out of the way -- but isolated from the rest of the boat. It also makes access cumbersome. Other boats, like the E39 (It t think) and the Pearson 35 put the wheel way forward -- right at the companionway. This gets...

The forward storage compartments over the v berth of my E23 are backed with an unattractive sticky material. From reading the original brochure it seems this sticky material likely held foam-backed naugahyde trim. It appears sometime over the last ~30 years this trim was pulled out. If I'm...

Does anyone have the approx dimension of the forward hatch on a E 38 1981 Atkins hoyle Thanks

The forward bulkhead in my '84 Ericson 26-II has developed significant rot at its base, and needs to be torn out and replaced. (This is the bulkhead immediately aft of the anchor chain locker, forward of the V-berth.) I've seen at least 3 Ericsons now with this problem, and I'm hoping that the...

We needed better access to the foredeck from the finger pier of our slip, so I added a couple of pelican hooks on the starboard side. A local machine shop tapped out the base of the pelican hook to accept the back half of the original turnbuckle. I added locking ring over each of the...

I've been monitoring the list since we bought our E27 last May and finally decided to post something. I read the thread tonight about the Sidney location and we are looking forward to getting there this year. I met a couple of Ericson owners at Bowen Island last year and brought up the idea of...

Well so far no luck finding a new forward hatch for moonglow. The old one is shot and the aluminum frame is corroding. Checked with Bomar and Lewmar and neither make a hatch that will fit. Loren suggested a manufacturer, and they do not make one of the right dimensions either. Anyone one...

I am getting some leakeage in one of the forward thru hulls under the head sink. I am planning on replacing all three since this is the second one that has leaked. They do not have a flange as is the current practice. Has anyone undertaken this task specifically. Will through hulls with...

HELLO TO ALL! I'M A NEW OWNER OF A VERY NEGLECTED LITTLE 25 SWING KEEL, AND IN DIRE NEED OF FINDING ANUMBER OF NEW PARTS IN ORDER TO BRING BACK THIS LITTLE BEAUTY. IF ANYONE CAN ADVISE ME AS TO WHERE I COULD FIND NEW HATCHES, SPECIFICALLY THE SLIDING COMPANIONWAY HATCH, AND THE FORWARD...

Would anyone know the cutout on the forward portlight on a 1974 E27? The outside frame measures 6" x 14". I wish to replace it with an opening type. Also what type sealant and ports would you recommend? Thanks in advance. Steve www.cool-ink.com/Boat/Forward_Port_Length.jpg...

I need to replace the forward hatch on a 1972 Ericson 29. Does any one know a place and/or part number for this item.
