Refitting the fuel supply system on Rumour this weekend and trying to figure out how to mount the new Racor 500 in the same location as the old Racor 220R -- behind the engine just below the sliding board in the aft quarter-berth. Here's the current layout of primary filter and pump: Curious...

Hi everyone, We purchased a 1974 Ericson 32 last year in San Diego. Being a warm weather boat, it did not come with a heater however, now that it lives in the Pacific Northwest a heater is a necessity! Our original plan was to install a Dickinson diesel bulkhead heater however, after...

In the next week or so I am going to start installing an air conditioner under the vee berth in my e-38 1985. As i will be drilling 2 holes thru the hull one in the stern near the engine cooling water intake for the a/c intake water and one in the bow under the vee berth above the water lline...

It's time to replace one hatch on Penquin (35-2). I'm a stickler for keeping my baby stock so I'll be using Acrylic. The original screw holes were counter sunk. Would not it be safer to use a carbide Forstner bit first, then drill for the screws? I would also consider a counter sink...

I have purchased a link 5000 system to replace tge older datamarine systems on our boat. The main unit box is quite long, and I was wondering where other people have mounted or installed the main box. I have looked at tge area around tge dc panel but dont think there is enough depth to install...

New rudder for my E26 Mk IV is being built at Foss. I am going to try to put it in without a haul out. Any tips or tricks from those who have done it? Thanks! Tim

I want to install an engine in my E25 swing keel. Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi there, We are new owners of an E-38 and are wanting to install a windlass. The anchor locker scenario is new to us as our old boat had access to the windlass from below but no anchor locker. If anyone has pictures of a completed project we would very much appreciate the input. What...

My Sea Scout group has talked me into putting a radio/cd player in the E34. "No Bad Days" but where to put in and mount it seems to be a stumper. Lots of items where added by po and can not find a slot or place it would fit and do well. Please tell or send pictures too of where yours might be...

I have a Ericson27 and I want to install a Halyard so I can use my spinnaker. My question is what do I need to install to make this work? And how would I fasten a block to the top of my mast? pictures would be a help. Thanks for any help Roy9216 <!-- / message -->

I recently came across a thread that was a step by step guide to the installation of an auto pilot for a 3511 with Wheel steering. It also had pictures. I have not been able to locate that thread and I'm hoping someone remembers it and can steer me to it. I just bought one for my 3511. Thanks in...

I have finally decided that it might not be so bad to have a microwave on a boat, and am trying to figure out the best location for one on my E-380. I believe the 380 layout is like the 38-200 (the gally to port foward of the aft cabin). Does anyone have any thoughts on where to install the...

It's a long shot, what with only 39 boats built and only a handful registered here.... But, has anyone done a forced air furnace install on one of these boats? Or any similar size boat?? One of these years we would like to have a furnace in place... I have seen one O-34 with a hydronic system...

I'm getting ready to install a Raymarine X-5 Wheel Pilot on my 35-3. It would be helpful to know from others who have done this where they placed the fluxgate compass and the course computer. For my boat, I think the best location for the course computer is in the starboard cockpit locker, near...

Well, not really :egrin: After the hazardous waste experience following "the Gathering" a month ago I figured head problems would keep away for a while. I was wrong. This time it was the water supply solenoid that acted up. It wasn't that it wouldn't open, but that it kept leaking enough...

Hi, I would like to install an ESPAR heater in my 1988 Ericson 38-200. I would prefer, but I'm open to other ideas, to install the heater in the starboard cockpit locker or in the aft locker. I was planning to run the exhaust out the stern, or possibly near the engine exhaust. I would prefer...

I posted a concern my girlfriend had about the engine compartment blower. "She asked how does the bilge blower work?" After her concern I removed the intake side hose from the blower and left it that way until today. Today I pulled on the hose that I had removed from the intake side...

Has anyone replaced the standard alcohol two-burner stove with a microwave? I have an E-29 and since we dont cruise (were landlocked) and spend nights docked at the slip with full electrical power--I think it would clearly be more useful to us. Im sure we would have to sacrifice a drawer--but...

Hi folks, I am so excited about my new (although previously owned and now listed as obsolete by the manufacturer) recent purchase, a chart plotter, a Garmin 498 to be specific, from a fellow club member who had upgraded, and now I am trying to find ideas from others who have mounted a similar...

After all the discussion here on seacocks, materials, backing plates, etc, and etc. First, note that this IS a real "seacock," and not a valve screwed onto a threaded thruhull pipe. So, while browsing the still-up PSC web site I found this diagram in the sample docs for the PSC Crealock 37...

Has anyone installed, or had installed, an AC system on a 80's vintage E34? I checked the archives and couldn't find anything. Looking for a little advice on how to run the system Thanks

Hi, I am planning to install an Espar heater in our 1988 38-200 in the spring. However, I have thought about this before. I am hoping that someone has completed an installation in a similar boat and would be willing to share their knowledge. I am wondering which unit was chosen, were the...

Check this message in another thread: http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showpost.php?p=9967&postcount=2 The last photo in that post, the one with all the Vikings standing on the dock, shows an Ericson in the foreground that seems to have a windlass installed in the forepeak anchor...
