USGS quake map It was located about 120km east of La Paz, midway between the peninsula and the mainland, and right on the southern extension of the San Andreas fault. There were several smaller quakes from 3-5 mag in the previous days. No confirmed reports of damage yet, but it seems that...

Looks like I need to remove the sea hood on my E38 to replace broken stops on the hatch cover. Before tearing into this I thought I would ask if anyone has done this (remove the sea hood, that is) and see what is involved. Does the traveler need to come off? Are the attachment fittings through...

Another thread got me thinking about this. My boat has been in the yard for over a month for some mechanical work and bottom painting. When I took it in I did not close the engine sea water intake valve. Should I be concerned when the engine is started after the boat goes back into the water...

Plumbing Sea Water in Galley I currently use the old bucket method to get sea water into the galley sink to do dishes. I would like to plumb sea water through a faucet or the existing old fresh water hand pump that is still mounted next to the sink without drilling another hole in the hull. I...

Hi Everybody; I'm planning to replace the 20 year old plastic sea cocks in the ole '87 34 (below the water line). I see a Buck Algonquin at jmsonline for half the price they want for a groco. Anyone have experience with Buck? they look fine in the photos and description; the only difference i...

I'm planning to replace my original oberdorfer pump (202 m7 I think? for my 5424) that is leaking with a MMI 502 flange pump from Moyer Marine. I talked with them and searched previous threads. I am pretty sure it will have enough flow and mount correctly. Anyone know for sure or have any...

I really need to relocate the raw water intake on my e-27 from way under the sink to some place easier to reach, any suggestions.

Hello All, I am starting to get serious about taking my E38 apart to upgrade the traveller. I previously thought that the traveller was a Schaeffer but now I think just the blocks on it are Schaefer the unit itself appears to be a Ronstan. The traveller "track" seems to be installed in an...

Check out this blog entry by the crew of sailing vessel Maiken. They sailed right into a sea of floating pumice near a new island that has arisen from a subsea volcanic peak near Tonga. It's also on CNN but the Maiken's blog has more photos than the news reports of the new island.

Hi folks, I was wondering, after searching the list for clues, what kind of sea water thru-hulls are mounted on the different Ericsons for engine cooling intake... Do you have a scoop with slits, or a mushroom type, (or a countersunk type)....and....how deep below the waterline, and where...

Jeff Marble and I ("Amigo" and "Seahorse") are thinking about trailering our boats down from Idaho to San Carlos, Mexico to launch for a 10 day trip across to Mulege and Conception Bay and return, March 2006 with our Ericson 25's. We would like to hear from anybody who has sailed down here in...

My wife gets seasick if there is rolling waves on Lake Superior. :boohoo: Dramamine makes her sleepy. Has anyone had experience with the ReliefBand product that gives little electrical impulses? :confused: Jon

E32-2 Sea hood - Manufacturer? Custom? I'm looking for a sea hood, for an E32, 1971. Who makes them? Manufacturer? What are they called? Sea hood or campanionway hatch cover or?? Any help would be helpful - thanks Warren

On my Ericson 36 RH I removed the sea hood over my compainionway sliding door. I wanted to rebed some screws and replace the weathered caulking around the edge. Once I had it off I discovered something peculiar. There seems to be no drainage for water trapped under the sea hood. This is a...

Most of this post is a copy of a message I posted to a diver board, but the weekend was full of outstanding sailing even without the story. La Petite sure is a blast. In 10 mps (20 mph) winds we did up to 6.5 kts sustained (real, GPS measured). With a hullspeed that should be around 5.5 we just...

Cypress, CA Couple Believed Lost at Sea Coast Guard gives up search for pair sailing from Hawaii to Long Beach. Would-be rescuers find an empty raft and sailboat debris. Relatives of a Cypress couple who apparently drowned in bad weather halfway between Hawaii and Long Beach were doing...

What do you guys think about Richard Van Pham and the "Sea Breeze"? I looked at the pictures from the msnbc.com web site several times. I don't think its an Ericson, but it could be, I think, maybe. Does anybody know him or the boat?

I made mistake of running engine with Sea Intake Valve closed for around 20 minutes. Impeller pump disintegrated but no other visual damage caused. Engine still runs smoothly but hot. I have replaced Impeller rubber component, cleaned intake hoses and Sea Strainer leading to the Impeller pump...
