noise

I am pretty meticulous in the care and maintenance of our 1984 E30+ boat. As I was walking forward on the starboard side I noticed a new creaking noise about two feet forward of the shrouds right where the deck joins with the vertical section of the cabin top. It sounds like two pieces of...

Sorry if this has been asked, I could not find it. My engine noise is louder than in previous years. This only occurs at idle. With an increase in rpms there is little noise. Could it be that the exhaust riser arm is becoming clogged where the water comes in but with increased rpms more water...

My new Beta 16 diesel engine is a lot louder than the old A4 I finally replaced. Might be related to the great install and alignment (I did it myself). I see various grades of noise reduction foam at Defender. W Marine has their version with no performance spec. Anyone out there know the...

Hi, I started a post about a month ago regarding repairing/replacing a broken spreader bracket - here is the link http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?t=7781 Well, my dad and I took the mast down yesterday without any real trouble; The only thing was that the VHF...

My E38 is back in the water and its making a very strange noise when in gear. Sounds like a mid-pitch moaning, fairly loud, that occurs between 1200-1600rpm. Above that it seems just audible but I'm not sure I'm actually hearing it and no noise at idle. Only seems to do this in forward. I...

Hi Fellow Ericsons I'm getting a knocking and grinding noise , around the rudder stock area on my 71 E39. But, only when in boat is at anchored or moored in rough weather? I have dived on the rudder and checked for any play where it attaches to the skeg (gugens) . Wondering if it could be in...

My 1976 E23 MK II has a montrous slab of mahogony (sp?) for a rudder. Last Saturday as I was enjoying a 10 knot breeze, sailing at about 4.5 knots I had to raise my voice to be heard over the noise of the water going around my transom hung rudder. The boat balances very well, so I was not...

Help again folks. After accomplishing 36 of the 38 high priority tasks for this wonderful 1986 E32-3 we bought in Dec 05 we are sailing! It is great and we are looking forward to a fantastic summer here in Puget Sound and parts North. But I am a worry wart. The Hurth Transmission behind the...

I've become tired of vacuuming up the deteriorating noice insulation in my engine compartment of my E38-200 1988 -- it goes everywhere each time I open it. Has anyone replaced this and what did they use? I seem to recall reading something somewhere about a sound deadening coating that can be...

Would a diesel replacement for an Atomic 4 be much noiser?

My mast bangs with a vengeance! :eek: Their must be a few loose wires inside. I don't want to pull it to fix it - too costly. I thought that I could just spray some foam in the mast. Has anyone fixed a noisy mast that way? I know it is not the best way - but the mast is old and some day I might...

I have a '71 E 29, It appears the wing inside the mast is loose. Extremely annoying to listen to the wires banging around inside the mast when laying at anchor all night. Any one have any solutions? Is there a way to fasten the wiring inside the mast to prvent this highly irratating noise...

We have an 76 E27 w/Volvo diesel engine. At a low rpm in gear the engine makes a high pitch hum. Once taken out of gear the noise goes away. Any suggestions? Thanks, Rachelle
