    Broken Shift Linkage at shift handle - E39

    I've attached 4 images of my pedestal. Two show the broken linkage for the shifter. Two show a shew in the meeting of the upper bowl and mid base of the pedestal. There are only 3 of the 4 long bolts holding the bowl in place. I'm wondering if anyone has seen this linkage failure before and...

    Broken Gear Shift Mechanism

    My gear shift mechanism broke inside Sea Bjorn's, E30+, binnacle tube. It's a plastic part in the shaft where the wheel meets the inside of the binnacle. It's the part that sends both the transmission (port) and throttle (starboard) controls down the binnacle. Anyone have an idea on how to...

    Cable shift

    Good evening. I am new to your site and a new Ericson 29 owner. I bought our boat on 1-27-2010. I knew it needed a lot of work, but I am really close to pissing off the wife with the money and time. The boat has a number of sails, all in good condition. Other than the motor and halyards...

    Helpful preventive step on transmission/gear shift lever

    This may help you avoid an unnecessary transmission rebuild or similar repair. Our 16 hp Universal engine had been running well, but began to slip out of gear occasionally/unpredictably with a grinding sound like a slipping transmission. On investigation, I found a small nut on the steering...

    Shift cable warning

    My transmission got very difficult to shift last season, especially at the end. I figured it was the cable finally giving out after 24 years so I purchased a new cable and went to install it this weekend. What I found was not caused by a bad cable but instead the bronze pin in the shift...

    Spreader shift

    Our E34 has had the lower starboard spreader shift upward about three to four inches on the standing rigging. When looked at from the front or back, she looks distinctly askew. Is this something that can be easily adjusted? Our marina - Point Roberts - has a mast tower which gives access to...

    I own a 35-2; 1973; #288, and need to know the length of the transmission shift cable. I know it is a 4300 series cable, but do not know the length. Also is the secondary attachment end of the main body cable the same, or is one end different? I live in Angel Fire, New Mexico but my boat is in...

    Transmission Shift Problem

    My Hurth transmission on a 1988 E-32-3 with Universal 25XP is acting strangely when shifting into forward. After the engine and transmission are warm, when I shift into forward the transmission will seem to jump into and out of gear repeatedly. The frequency is on the order of once or twice...

    E32-200 shift cable replacement

    Has anyone with an '80s 32-200 (or 32-3) replaced their tranny shift cable? Mine broke inside the clevis attached to the Edson shift handle, so now I only have 2 or 3 threads left on that end of the cable and the throw isn't enough to shift into reverse. I can shift into reverse manually at...
