    E38-200 Electrical Panel Replacement

    We became fed up with trying to deal with the virtually inaccessible rat's nest of wiring behind our electrical panel. As when we bought the boat 2 years ago, the original Newmar breaker panel was working, but in poor condition. The breaker panel along with the VHF, stereo, main AC outlet with...

    FS: 12vdc Red Panel Indicator Lights

    Temperature Gauge Wiring

    The previous owner of my E29 had disconnected the Water Temp gauge for the Universal A4--as he believed it had a short. I have searched the web for a wiring diagram for the four terminals on the back of the gauge--with no luck. I actually tried to remove the gauge from the panel but it seems...

    What is the "pull out toggle" on the engine control panel.

    Hi all, I am a new owner of a 1980 Ericson 35-2. Purchased the boat in Ventura and had it trucked up to San Francisco. Because of the distance, I did not have a chance to become as familiar with the boat before the purchase - so now the fun begins! BTW - don't recommend that approach, but...

    I have a 1985 35-3 with a DC panel that has 3 columns of breakers, a voltmeter on the top left and a battery switch on the top right. Can anyone tell me how many switches are on this panel? I am not on the boat right now and am looking into panel upgrades.

    E28 12volt Panel Battery Switch

    The black plastic knob on the panel that selects Batt 1 or Batt 2 or both batteries has disintegrated. I tried Custom Marine Services but they can't help so I am currently resigned to turning the protruding switch spigot with a pair of pliars. Anyone know where I can get a replacement, please? I...

    Hi Folks, Has any one replaced their universal "gauge panel"? On our "88 E 34 it has been glassed in the corners and now that has given away and cracked all across the bottom and it just hangs there. To push the start buttons must lift the lazaret hatch and hold the back of buttons...

    Moving electrical Panel - rewiring

    This is the begining of my restoration of a neglected 1972- e35. My electrical panel may be in need of an upgrade? (HA!) The PO had done some "interesting" work over the years and moved the panel - in front of the nav station. I'm thinking of taking out the nav table all together and moving...

    Engine control panel problem

    When I switch over to battery, the control panel for the M-25XP diesel comes on. Don't have to stick the key in. It makes the fuel pump run, which is quite annoying when I don't want to run the engine (ticktickticktickticktick), and probably not very good for the fuel pump. I do have to engage...

    Shore Power/AC Distro Panel

    I'm new to this website as well as sailing and my 1982 Ericson 28+ which I bought a couple of months ago. My question relates to shorepower and how to get it working on my boat. The AC distribution panel has pushbuttons installed for receptacles, water heater and main (circuit breakers on...

    Ericson 38 Electrical Panel.

    My new (for me) 1980 E 38, "Rettsie", hull # 3, has what looks like the original electrical panel. Doing some knocking around the systems, I am assuming that the panel is merely switches, not breakers. Just wanted to confirm that, but I guess I'm hoping someone will tell me those switches are...

    Pushpit-Mounting a Solar Panel?

    I'm planning to mount a 50W Kyocera solar panel on my stern rail, and i was wondering if others had done this sort of a mounting and had good ideas for a movable mount. The panel is 25"x24", and I'd like to put it to one side of the backstay, with the forward edge of the panel supported by...

    what is this access panel for?

    Hello, I noticed some water in the starboard settee locker on my 1985 E32-3 and opened up the access panel that is located there (they have them on the port side to). The fiberglass strips were still damp here from a rough sail the previous day. I think water may be coming in through the rudder...

    E-27 / Atomic 4 Engine Control Panel

    On my new (to me) 1976 E-27 no longer has readable labels (faded teak / no remaining paint). There is a ammeter, temp gauge, ignition keyhole, starter button, and choke - got those figured out, but there is also a toggle switch. Any ideas as to what that is, before I go tracing / reading out...

    Power Outtage - DC Panel - Fuse?

    Cabin lights, radio and all DC Low Voltage power worked fine until coincidentaly a friend attached his invertor. Battery worked fine, Motor started OK and engine worked fine, just no panel lights or DC power. Could it be a fuse that went out? Any other ideas?

    Diesel Fuel Soaked Mahogany Panel

    My Racor fuel filter had a gasket leak for some time and the diesel fuel has dripped onto the mahogany side panel that covers the diesel engine. I am in the process of refinishing the wood and can’t seem to get out the diesel fuel from the wood. It has a wet stain and is saturated. So I...

    35-2 : Electrical Panel Question

    My electrical panel is stock and I read alot about isolating the DC and AC connections with plastic shields. Has anyone got any pictures of this retrofit? Seems from all I read here on the exchange it would be a safety issue that needs addressing?

    E35/3 electrical panel difficult

    Hi All, I've been doing a bit of rewiring on my boat but am really surprised how difficult it is to get electrical connections onto the hot side of the breakers. All of the wires on my boat are fitted with the flat connectors with the hole rather than spade fittings. This means that you...

    New Battery Switch Panel mounting ?

    I have purchased a new Blue Seas (part number 8080) panel. Plan is to replace the old 1-2-all rotary switch that Ericson installed in '88. On our particular boat the original switch was recessed into the side of the teak bulkhead right beside the engine. This puts it low and just inside the...

    Lost power to Universal engine panel

    Hi All, We were out yesterday sailing & on the way home I glanced at the engine panel to check RPM, temp, oil pressure and charging. I did a double take because at first I noticed the tach reading only 5000 rpm, then I noticed all of the other gauges were dead. Silly me - I thought well...

    AC Panel protection

    Nowadays my insurer requires that the backside of the AC part of the power distribution panel be covered to prevent incidental contact when the panel is dropped open for inspection/servicing. I always was a bit nervous about this anyway, and the last survey included a requirement to make this...

    Main AC panel on E30+

    I just purchased an '85 E30+ and have been catching up on the PO's deferred maintenance. Notice that with the shore power connected, there is a flickering neon light on the main AC panel under the sink. Wondering if the flickering is normal (acknowledging the shore power is connected), or...

    Electrical panel housekeeping

    I develop a case of panel envy when I see photographs in the sailing magazines of neat looking flip down eletrical panels with all the wires neatly bundled. Has anyone bothered to clean up his/her Ericson panel which, at least in my case, hides a spagetti-like tangle of wires? One problem is...
