panel

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...

I don't know why anyone would want this but thought I'd check just in case. Update: It's gone. Somebody bought it at a garage sale.

Can anyone recommend a good solar panel and regulator...Ericson 28 will be on mooring...

I am re-wiring my electrical panel, I have a few indicator lamps that are broken and would like to replace them. 1987 32-3. Anyone know a scource to get exact replacements or a complete set of new indicator lamps?

My E 28 was hit by lightning earlier this month. Dealing with insurance company and the bpoat yard. The elctrical panel sustained some damage. A few blown out indicator lights and maybe more. Surveyor suggested trplacing the whole panel. Spent 3 hours trying to find a replacement - no luck -...

Help! The fuse panel on my 1974 E-29 has gotten wet too many times and is corroded and some of the fuse holders as well as a few of the toggle switches no longer work properly. Last weekend was spent in a frustrating effort to revive the old panel. I have looked at a number of different sources...

These are the same as the ones Ericson installed in our 1984 35. I have five brand new ones unused. They are labeled "Silico 14V 1/w Mexico", red lights, the cut-out size is 5/16", have 6 inch leads, and have a metal bezel. I rediscovered them in our basement a few days ago. I had a hard...

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...

Have just purchased first sailboat,1974 Erickson 29. The control panel is missing for the cockpit. Could anyone aim me in a direction to replace it or where to get something that would work? It has the A-4 inboard so I would need the key, Blower etc. Any and all advice is appreciated.

Anyone have experience with these? I know they don't provide the amperage of rigid panels, but I'm just looking for something to offset a few hours of interior light use while summer cruising... http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|328|49497|1154318&id=1207022

Hey all, Today I was lurking around the moyer marine site to get some info on my E29 A4--and I ran across a post about a company that specializes in custom panels--and was so impressed that I wanted to share it! Let me add that I have absolutely no commercial interest in this company--but the...

I am looking for a control panel for my 1984 30+. Part no. 300680 Standard Panel, Novatron. It has oil pressure, amp meter, key and two momentary buttons. Can anybody help a brother out?

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.

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...

Some pics of the new control panel on my 1973 E27. The panel is a Blue Seas System product 6 AWG wire was used between the battery and the control panel. 14 AWG wire was used for all other wiring. Note that I have an outboard with a magneto (no alternator). Hopefully, this post will give...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Does anyone know the location of the fuse panel for where the cabin light switch, water pump, radio, etc., is located?

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?

After much searching and little luck I decided to create my own engine instrument panel box. So here is how to create a custom engine instrument panel box with some 1/8 inch fiberglass sheet, fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin. Oh and of course duck tape. Sorry I didn’t take photos of each step…...

I would like to find a replacement control panel for my '84 E-30+. I believe the number is 300680 Standard panel by Novatron. I think that they are discontinued. It has a temp guage, amp guage, oil light, blower switch, key switch, momentary glow plug button and momentary start button...

I've located an irritating leak. My instrument panel is mounted in a recessed compartment just below and aft of the port cockpit locker door. While I originally though that the caulking behind the flange of the compartment might be shot, I discovered that water was actualy following the top...

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...

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?

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...

I need to add a 5 amp breaker switch to the empty "accessory" slot on my 12 volt panel for a 1986 32-III. Has anyone researched which manufacturer and model # to consider? Thanks in advance for any input.

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...

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...

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...

has anyone ever seen the dc elect panel on the ericson 35-ll installed to the left of the nav.table. problem existing dc panel and wiring looks like a birds nest, want to fix..

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...

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...

Does anyone know offhand where I might find some replacement bulbs for the 12V and 120V panels (original panels) in my E35-3? A number of the lights are burned out, and I would love to get them all current.... Thanks, //sse
