Hello all, first post here and new to Ericson. So inspired by Christian Williams' YouTube videos I think I may have found my choice for my first 32. I also might just hold his channel record for most replays haha. I searched the forum for a "Difference between the 32 MKII vs MKII" thread...

So the local guy who does this sort of stuff (biminis, cushions, sail repair) told me his closed cell foam manufacturer Burt down and went out of biz. Can't find good material anywhere he claims. Who do I talk to. How big of a project/investment to do it myself? Any advice?

I'm looking to replace my steering pedestal and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions. I don't mind paying up for Edson products but I didn't see one on their site thy looked similar to the one on my E35 mkII Any advice?

Looking for a ew binnacle/compass and mount. Would prefer used but if anyone has any aftermarket suppliers I'd live to check them out.thanks

I have a 1974 Ericson 35 Mk 2 and am in the process of replacing my original Atomic 4 with a new Beta Marine 25. I am wanting to install a fuel gauge in my original 22 gal. steel fuel tank but before I drill a hole to install that, does anyone know if the original tanks came with baffles or is...

Does anyone know the make and model of the steering pedastal used on the E-35 MKII. I want to convert to hydraulic stering. If anyone has done this I could use any advise . Thanks! Monty:egrin:

Aloha all, just thought I'd post some pics of my re-make of my 1973 E35-II. I bought the boat for $9000 in March 2009 and worked on her for an average of 4 hours/day for almost a year to get her into her present condition. One of the main things I did to make her user-friendly in Hawaii is to...

This is probably a dumb question, but here goes. I am going to make a whisker pole for my E23 soon and use it on my E23,150 genoa. What size pole can I use for racing ?

I'm helping a friend locate a used mainsail. If you have one please send me a Private Message. We've searched the usual used sail exchanges and didn't find a suitable match. Warehouse sails will be the next step but funds are scarce. Thanks for reading, Passerby

I am the proud new owner of a 1976 E23 MKII. this is my first boat, and I am really excite to take her out. It is currently moored in Saint Helens, though I will be moving it into Portland soon:egrin: She has been well maintained, so the only thing I am really concerned about right now is the...

Hello All... I own a 1985 E35 MKIII Tall Rig, hull #211, "Mr Toad". (formerly "Molly May") Can anyone tell me the differences between an E35 vs E35 MKII vs E35 MKIII? I am asked this question often and am starting to get a complex when my response is not much more than a blank stare. Please...

I want to get some new winches and mount them back so I can adjust my jib without leaving the wheel well. Any ideas on reasonable priced units? What size do I need as I only do coastal trips in So Cal? John

Now that we have new bottom paint on La Petite it has become very obvious that the rudder is 3-4" too low. Either that or the water line on the rudder is too low :-) That brings up two questions: - It looks like the rudder should be liftable (slide up a couple of feet ?). Does the rudder...

My bilge pump is likely seeing it's last days and I'm likely going to replace it soon. While at it, I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to install a second independent pump, and/or an engine driven pump. The bilge area is rather limited. The current pump is mounted below my sink in the...

Has anyone delved into the actual deck-stepped mast base itself on a E-35 MKII (vintage 1972 to be exact)? Due to prior owner issues (plywood bulkhead crack at hull on port side near deck in head compartment), core delam stbd side of mast step, compression post movement, etc.) it needs to be...

Sean, I have the pdf scan of the manual ready to upload. When I go to attach it, it tells me that the file is too large (2.4 MB). Apparently, it exceeds the 244 kb limit on PDF file size!? Let me know how I can get this to you.
