  1. Not so difficult after all: Zipper Pull Replacement

    E32-200 Not so difficult after all: Zipper Pull Replacement

    Puzzling through some leaks, installing electronics and sometime soon (hopefully) pulling the mast to re-do lighting rigging, and a host of other stuff. I posted some questions about my headliner woes in the forum and as expected, got helpful feedback. Pleased to report that replacing the...

    Hard Pull to Left

    My wife and I took our 30+ out for our first spin yesterday and noticed that it pulled hard to the left while under power. I suspect it's the prop, but nothing unusual was found in the underwater survey. Any thoughts? Also - I presume it best to take the main off the boom and store indoors...

    Electric Propulsion tractor pull challenge....

    Ok...I normally leave all the forums alone but I keep reading ridiculous but forceful rants about comparing horsepower in engines to electric motors. Horsepower is simply meaningless to actual useful power. 33,000ft-lbs./minute applied to a prop (a single horsepower) would tend to create...

    Wheel Pull to port-which cause?

    We have a 1988 E34-2. lots of wheel pull to port while motoring, and much less while "gliding" out of gear and also sailing at speed (while comparing upwind on each tack). Our prop shaft is slightly to starboard, which I understand MAY be the cause form earlier posts (on other size Ericsons)...

    Pull apart Cinnamon rolls

    I found this recipe in a newspaper a while back and have had good luck with it. Firing up your oven in the morning is a good way to get the chill off the boat and you end up with a delicious treat to start the day with. I’ve also been impressed with how long this stays fresh tasting just sitting...

    Tiller pull to port

    I am looking to buy a 1983 Ericson 28+ which has a very strong pull on the tiller when motoring near top end. Is this a common problem? What can be done to lessen it? The boat has a slight list to starboard at the dock, is that a related problem or the result of full tanks on one side and not...

    E36RH Prop Strut Movement; and excessive 'pull' to port under power

    I purchased a 1982-E36-RonHolland last October. The prop strut is loose: with sideways pressure it will move about 1/8" to starboard, then return when the pressure is released. Does anyone have a drawing of the shape of the strut and how it is installed. It appears to be glassed in, with no...

    Hard Pull to Port Under Power - New Repower

    :esad: HELP: HARD PULL TO PORT UNDER POWER>>> After a year of unreliable service and constant problems from my old Yanmar seawater cooled 2QM20, I finally bit the bullet and instructed my mechanic to swap it out for a brand new Yanmar 3YM20. Rather than a return to reliable operation, I have...
