When I hauled my boat out last December, I inquired about installing the PSS dripless shaft seal. I was told that there physically was not enough room to install it. Although I thought it odd, I did not challenge their response since I was out of town when I got the call.
I was considering...
I'm planning on making a new ladder for my boat and I'm looking for ideas.
I have an outboard on the back of mine , so going over the transom is a
little tougher. I'm thinking about over the side just forward of the cockpit
so that it lines up with the stanchion to use as a handhold.
I would...
I've decided to replace my ancient/non-functional Keynon pressured alcohol stove, with a modern propane stove.
The one big hurdle left is figuring out where I should mount the propane tank.
So, for those of you with propane on your E29s, I'm curious where your propane tank is.
Thanks,

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...
Does anyone have an owners manual for the O34? I've looked through the Resources here and there is an E34 manual, but the E34 and the O34 are different. I scrubbed the web and come up empty handed. I'm hoping there's an owner out there with a copy of this manual.
I know the 39' well but not so much about the 37'.. Seems to be a ghost in the E line only 100 or so made. Can anyone give me some insight as to her sailing qualities.. noticed the original sail plans were significantly smaller than the 39' and the 38'..
Much thanks..
After selling our much beloved C&C 34(totally unexpected)and searching for over a year we kinda of stumbled across a 35MKIII just went to see her having gone thru our list and still had time on our hands while in SoCal, we knew that Ericson's are known for their build quality but we knew nothing...
Does your E27 have 1 or 2 access hatches for the bildge. The PO installed a laminate flooring revealing only one hatch under the companionway stairs. However, I recently noticed a "soft" spot just aft of the bulkhead. Yesterday I saw a photo of another E27 showing access hatch in this location...
Hey,
My 2 brothers and I just purchased an 89 E 38-200 and have been refurbishing her in Ventura, CA where we will keep her berthed. New Anchors, GPS, Self steering, lp gas sensor, light bulbs, windex, spinnacker gear and of course a cattle guard and gun rack. This is my hmmm ...sixth vessel...
Does anyone have a link to an on-line owners manual for the Kanzaki KM2P transmission? My 1990 E28 is equipped with one, the manual "may" be on board but I will not be near the boat until I pick it up at the end of May. I want to have a manual for maintenance and operation purposes. If it needs...
Does anyone have the owners manual for the 33? I have downloaded the manuals for the 32, 34 and 35 and am going to look over any material that is common with all of the Ericson line. I would think that almost all of the wiring is standard, color coded, ect. Any help would be fantastic.
I'm relatively new to sailing and currently looking for a sailboat in the 25 to 28 foot range. Two near the top of my wish list are the Ericson 25+ and the Ericson 27. None are available for sale locally and my search has largely involved reading about each online, and looking at listings, few...
I wonder if anyone has an owners manual for the Ericson 25+? There is a
manual for the older E 25 in the documents section, however I did not see one for the 25+. I think they remained the same from 1979 through 1984. I would be glad to pay for the cost of copying and postage if another E...
How thick are the cockpit coamings?
Are they the same thickness all around, or do they narrow toward the stern?
Also, from the pictures, they appear to be plumb with both inner and outer surfaces parallel. Is this true?
For those with teak caprail on top (not all of them do apparently)...
Just recently finished the purchase of a 1975 E27. She has a Volvo inboard and needs mostly cosmetic upgrades and fresh sails. We are HAPPY:egrin:!!! We hail from Beaufort, NC and seem to be in minority as far as Ericson owners here go. We also really like this forum and love the abundance of...
Hi all,
We are the proud new owners of "Liberty", a beautifully restored 1981 E31 Independence (that we bought on 4th of July weekend, so how appropriate is that!). Here are some shots from our first sail from Ventura down to her new home in Channel Islands. My brother followed along in his...
OK, I'll try one more time,,, Is there an owners manual available specifically for the 32-200? If anyone has one, I'll guarantee you I'm not the only one who would appreciate getting my paws on a copy.
We have a customer who is unable to take delivery of a brand new mainsail for an Endeavour 33 (std rig) Before it goes on Ebay I wanted to give the E35-3 community a chance to buy it.
Highlights
8oz high modulus Dacron
2+2 battens (new tapered battens included)
2 reefs
Radial patches...
Hello folks,
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with lerning bout my 1978 E27. My survey came back better then average, I have a yanmar 8hp diesel, I have tons of questions about this boat, she sails great even with what looks like the original main. so I need one of those and dont know where to...
It would be interesting to know if there are any owners out there who have had their boats since NEW.....
There are many questions that could be answered concerning average replacement time for many of the items lurking out there just waiting to quit that have not yet done so...
Sean, I have been looking far and wide for a manual for the E30+. I have received some design drawings for the plumbing, electrical system and sail plan, but would really appreciate it if the complete manual could be loaded under the "docs" section.
Thx.
Frank.
Looks like we're woefully under represented in the New Photo Galleries, Good Job Sean!
All my photo's are pre-Digital, I'll work on getting some soon. Let's SEE some of those E-toys!
Does anyone have, or know of, an original owners manual for a 1988 Ericson 32-200? The manual that came with my 32-200 (purchased this summer) is actually a manual for a 32. Did Ericson actually have a 32-200 manual or did they supply these boats with the 32 manual?
Well, it looks like my wife and I are new owners of a 1982 E-38. Boy, do we have a lot of work to do! But it's great to have a boat again! "I think"
Anyway, does anyone know the dimensions of the head sail? I'm in need of something a little newer. I beleive the genoa that's on...
Hey, I'm looking to spend my money on a nice upgrade and a feathering prop would do nicely. The Kiwiprop seems a nice product, simple, effective, etc. It also got a great review in the latest PS. www.kiwiprop.co.nz So:
Who has one?
How do you like it?
Whats it installed on?
Who did you...
My wife and I just purchased our first Sailboat. An immaculate 1976 E29. Unfortunately she is stored behind 5 much larger boats in a heated warehouse in Sandusky, OH. We can't wait till the spring when we can finally have her shipped down to us in Tennessee and start spending every weekend...
Folks
I want to put a sunbrella wrap around the cockpit-maybe about 30' by 20" or so.
Would be interested in any pictures anyone has of their installation.
Jeff-I went by Biejo De Mar today. No one home. Any boats around our area you know about that I should look at?
John
My wife and I are now retired and we saw this old E25 sitting forlornly on a very old trailer at a marina on the banks of the Ohio. It had a 'for sale' sign dangling from the pulpit. The previous owner informed us that it had been sitting there for three years. We've never sailed before.
We...
:egrin:
There were 21 Ericson 46's made between 1972 and 1974, of those 19 are reported to be still sailing out there.
I am trying to form a database and a communications network for those of us with the biggest Ericsons. Nothing formal, just trying to figure out where all the boats are, and...
On the Pacific Seacraft site under Ericson Yacht Support, there are manuals for the E27 and the E35 MKIII, does anyone know if a manual was produced for the 30+? Thanks :)
Are any So. Cal Ericson owners going to be at the Isthmus (Two Harbors) the weekend of May 6th through the 8th? I will be there, hopefully without rain and having to dodge any water spouts. :egrin:
95 of us responded to the poll on the National Ericson Owners Association and just over 75% of us indicated that we wanted to form a National Ericson Owners Association.
I would think that now is the time to start the association before we all go sailing. The one reoccurring reason I saw...
Hi all,
Im trying to figure out what interest there is ( if any) to bring the CEOA back to life. I think from the list of people I've been sent there are enough owners to support it and spring is right around the corner. So lets get together and bring this assoc. back to life! :egrin:
I just stumbled on this site and regestered today. I am the original owner of a 1978 Ericson 23 swing keel and race it on Lake Erie. I noticed there is an Owners Group for the 23 and I would like to receive information about the group.
Been looking high and low for a copy of an owners manual for 1978 e30 tiller model didnt dee it in the specs and docs any body have any other resources?
Question(s) : who and where are we...RonHolland36's ???

Nearing an extensive refit/rebirth...shouldn't be much longer(smile)

Does anyone know where I can find an owners manual for an Ericson 35-2. I have a 1977, but would be happy with a copy of the original manual from any of the production years (1969-1982) Thanks in advance, Michael B

Looking for owners manuel for 1980 30+ also plumbing and electrical plans, I'm working on the drawings of my boat but would like to see what the original is supposed to look like. Want to thank Ed Chadroff for all his insights I hope others out there will help if...
Sounds like there is interest in getting Ericon owners together at some point? I just purchased an E35-III and am berthed at South Beach.
Have there been or are there any get togethers planned?:egrin:
Hello,
I'm Scot King, one of the designer's sons, and I just bought a 30+ in pretty good condition. It had a 32 manual in it. Does anybody know where I may get ahold of the 30+ manual. While there are similarities between the two boats, I'd still like to have a 30+ manual. I couldn't...
Fellow Ericson Owners,
Would like to know if there are any other Ericson 30-2 Owners out there that follow this great site, I am contemplating setting up a registry of Ericson 30-2 owners,(maybe a little more agressive than the one at this site) as there where only 47 built. Planning to start...
I have an E27 that I just bought in September.
First, there are blisters on the hull which are small in nature, but are numerous. My question is, what is the most expedient way to repair the hull.
Secondly, the boat has a tiller for a helm, which is fine, I have no problem steering, but...
I'm curious as to whether there are any other Ericson 32-2 owners in the vicinity of my home port: Bainbridge Island. If so - I would appreciate hearing from you!

I just acquired a 1980 25+...I'm in search of an owners manual (or copy)...does anyone know where I could find one. Any help in this matter would be great.
