information

I need info on a few projects I'm working on. raw water system, cockpit control panel, rigging, etc... I'm finishing up a restoration, well at least close to finishing and will be launching soon. E-mail me or we can talk directly the old fashioned way... by phone vanfuego@yahoo.com or...

I learned a bit about Universal 5432 engines during my recent re-power project and figured I'd write down what I know so maybe someone else won't have to chase their tail like I did..... Universal 5432 are based on a Kubota engine, specifically the V1501 model. Actually, Universal just bolted...

Hello! I am stringing up my mast. Its the first time since i have owned this boat. I purchased it in the fall of '08 and following a small number of projects I am now ready to step the mast. Can anyone give me some info on running back stays for a marconi rigged sloop. The mast is rather tall...

I am in the process of searching for a trailerable boat. So far the search have been concerned on boats like the Ranger 23 and Catalina 25s as these are available around here. I have always been a fan of Ericsons having rented an E 28 years ago for a night sail on the SF Bay. I am currently...

All, I want to contact Stuart Mc Kenzie, owner of E31 hull #33 and my records are hopelessly out of date. Add to that the fact that my email was wiped out recently and I have nothing current for him. I'd also like to get in contact with anyone in the North Vancouver area as well, I need a...

Hello to All, I just bought what I believe to be one of the 11 Ericson 26-2/Pacers made. At least all of the specs for it match what I've found for the Pacer so far. Other than general specs and hull numbers, I've been unable to find any thing out about the Pacers. I can use anything that...

http://www.soundmarinediesel.com/q_and_a.html I was doing some 'net surfing and reading up on Diesels and replacements ... after following another thread on this site about repair vs replacement. This site FAQ seems to have a lot of good commentary and advice, at least based on my limited...

I have an 87 E35-3.....in generally excellent condition....but the PO was not a watchmaker.....some things are just showing a bit of wear and neglect. For one, the throttle cable looks like it has been played with, and when the engine is warm and the cable is pulled back to full idle the engine...

I have put the contact information below. Keep in mind Stuart may want to coordinate this or I may do it from this end; I'll let Stuart decide if we should have one point of contact or not. Last year, I reserved 35 slips and have already spoken with Rhonda. They WILL NOT accept reservations...

I am a new owner of an old Ericson 30-1 built in 1969. This boat has been much abused and needs plenty of elbow grease, green stuff and time to restore. I am game and she is too....what I need is information on the lines of the boat, interior (has been gutted) and engine specifications (I...

I have just become the owner of a 1969 Ericson 30( I have found from this site that she is a 30-1). This boat is basically sound, but has been abused. In fact, abandoned by the owner after Hurricane Ivan and when he bought a new boat. I need information about the rudder. This is the model...

I don't see much E30 information or documentation anyplace. Does this mean that there isn't much to be said for the model(s) or they are not represented within this information exchange. Specifically I'd like to establish some dialogue with people who have recent experience with E30's...

Ericson 32 purchase I am in the process of upsizing, my 23 foot is just to small and I want a larger boat. My problem is this, I can't make up my mind between a Cal 2-29 or the Ericson 32. I'm leaning towards the Ericson because of the interior layout and numbers (comfort ratio etc etc). I'm a...

I'm considering a new mainsail for my Ericson 29. I would consider a used one if you have one in very good condition. Otherwise I may well purchase a new one. i have quotes from about $700 to $ 2500. Does anyone have a recommendation for a sail maker? What is the advantage of full battens...

Hi, dear all, can anybody refer me to a good website or book on internal wood restoration/repair? We have quite a bit of water damage in our new old boat, and although I found a lot of good advice in this site I still need some extra data on tools, chemicals and technics. Thanks in...

:( Our Seaward two burner stove/oven combination has had the knob decals worn off which makes it nearly impossible to know what they were when the stove was new. If someone would assist with information from their stove it would be appreciated. I have tried to contact the Marine service...
