Hi all! I’m adding a galley to my E23 MKII and would love to see pictures of some E23 galleys. It would be great to get specific dimensions and location as well. I got plenty of questions. Where are the tank(s) located? Do you have a waste tank or just run it to the bilge ? Is that frowned...
A quick note on a task I recently puzzled out:
My boat’s galley offers two latching drawers intended to store small items, and not intended to accidentally fall out of the enclosing cabinet even when opened. I recently found myself with a task inside the galley cabinet that would be made much...
I finally decided it was time to clean up the ice box covers. All in it took almost 2 weeks, and about 15-20 hours but the end result was very satisfying!
Here’s a 3 minute video time-lapse:
First Step, starting the project. I took home the small cover and started getting an idea of what I...
My lack of forum participation of late has been due to lack of spare time for being in front of a computer.
I have been working on projects inside Silver Maiden while putting up with such cold that my little electric heater and 3 heat lamps only get the main cabin up to about 50 with the vberth...
Last winter and spring, I committed a few more projects / abominations on my boat. These next few posts confess to some interior modifications that I have been thinking about for a few years and finally executed while the boat was hauled-out and sitting next to the workshop for nine months. The...
Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anybody has ever tried to get the galley sink out of an Ericson 27 (or similar). The sink is so deep that it needs to be lifted straight up but there isn't enough clearance due to the pitch of the hatch. I've included a photo.
Any help would be greatly...
I'm extended by galley behind the bulkhead and wouldn't mind some advice.
When I bought the boat, there was a sheet of plywood covering the hole shown in the photo and a new electrical panel mounted in it, which has now moved adjacent to the chart table. I wonder if the original electrical...
I'm soon going to undertake some modifications to my galley and I wanted thoughts or idea before I started.
1) I just got a big 3-burner force 10 propane stove to replace the missing stove (which I'm guessing was originally alcohol). I'm probably building a propane locker in the stern locker...
I'm soliciting thoughts on what you might do in this situation. As you can see from the picture, a PO did a hack job on the galley countertop so that a coleman camping stove could sort of be held in place (first thing thrown out).
Any thoughts on how to approach this gaping hole in the...
Ok, I have searched, I have gone to the site, and I have looked thru all the boat soca, and I have not found any material on the galley maid 3 burner cooktop stove or oven. Problem is I have no idea what I would be doing to get it started, I know that you prelight the burners, but how? The oven...
Looks like the galley countertop needs to be replaced. The PO let several years of water intrusion get in there and now it's seriously delaminated/rotting.
Aside from simply removing it so I can get the pattern for the replacement, anyone have any tips for how to go about this project? The...
Hi All, When cleaning up my E27 after a 1.5 year restoration/outfitting project I was using my trusty ShopVac that sucks up virtually anything and I fear that I may have inadvertantly sucked up the drain plug/strainer from the galley sink. The bag is long gone:esad: Does anyone have any...
I have "73 Ericson 35 MKII and would like to install a foot pump to the galley sink. If anyone hase done this and has suggestions / hot tips and pictures it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the origional 3 burner w/ oven alcohol stove aboard my 1976 E36C.
I need to either convert the burners to propane or replace them with new alcohol ones.
My problem is that the current burners are cast steel worn and dont burn clean. Because they do not burn clean,they soot up the...
Plumbing Sea Water in Galley
I currently use the old bucket method to get sea water into the galley sink to do dishes. I would like to plumb sea water through a faucet or the existing old fresh water hand pump that is still mounted next to the sink without drilling another hole in the hull. I...
I've been looking for a new stove for our E39 and have an opportunity to buy (for next to nothing) a 2-year old Force 10 stainless steel stove/oven that was on a boat that sank in the slip. The stove was supposedly underwater for 4 hours.
Does anyone know what would need to be addressed with...
The ice box and sink console in my '90 E38-200 project perpendicular from the port hull to midships where, it appears, it is tabbed once to the hull (TRFG) in the forward starboard corner.
That tab was broken when I bought the boat and I've never asked how it happened (shudder). The tab held...
Hi guys! I have a '87 32-3 and need drawer help. The little latch that locks the drawer shut on the top drawer in the galley is loose. The wood which holds the metal tap above the drawer appears to be split. The thing slides on a plastic track, but I can't seem to find a release to completely...
After 2 seasons we finally got fed up with the miniature galley sink in our 35-3 that our plates would not even sit flat in. I searched all over to find the right size sink and faucet that would fit without doing major cutting. The sink is an Elkay 17x17x6 and the faucet is a chrome plated...
The corner of my galley counter has been chipped off, I think when the PO replaced the engine. Does anyone know how I would go about repairing it? I am including a photo.
Thanks,

I have discovered that the food storage cupboard on my E30+ (the cupboard just aft of the refrigerator opening, beside the galley sink, next to the opening for the garbage disposal on some models) gets quite wet. This seems to happen only after I've hosed down the deck (haven't noticed it after...
I find I am in need of a new galley stove/oven. Anybody have any idea of what changes out easily with the propane 3 burner w/ oven that came stock on the 1985 E 38? I miss my lasagne!

I am looking to sell my Galley Maid alcohol dual burner stove and oven. It's stainless and has the window on the oven door. All hardware, gimballs, etc. included. Also have tank but no pump.
Functional to my knowledge and clean. If anyone is interested make a reasonable offer. Wanted to see...

I have fresh water (not sea water) collecting in the forward/port corner of the galley sink cabinet. The water is not coming in through any of the thruhulls in that cabinet. I have dried it out and observed the area with a flashlight and seen evidence of water seeping up out of a seam in the...
I have a 1983 E28+ and the galley sink looks terrible! I'd like to replace it with a brand new shiney one but can't seem to locate a supplier in the US. Any suggestions?
We just took delivery of a dirty but apparently solid 1975 Ericson 23. We plan to use it for coastal cruising off the Southern California coast with occasinoal crossings to the Channel Islands.
We/I have lots of questions as we start to clean her up and get her ready to be crossing-livable...
