    Battery Health--hydrometer, plus potential starter motor isssues

    I use two Trojan Group 27s for both house and starting. Lately one battery turns the M25 over with less oomph than the other. Both batteries were installed by the PO in early 2012. When on the Xantrex Truecharge2 40A charger, Hydrometer readings on Battery 1 are 127 for all six cells. Three...

    starter replacement

    Well after getting the old one rebuilt twice in 1 year, me thinks it is time to replace with new as they just do not seem to work. Being in Nicaragua I am wondering if there is a auto type starter that would work on my "88 Universal 25? Lots of Toyota and other kind of import down here. Thanks...

    starter motor...

    Yesterday the starter motor on our Sea Scout boat '88 E34, "No Bad Days" x25 was burnt up... do ask how, I know not. Here in Nicaragua no one will rebuild or rewind so can anyone direct me to a place where we can purchase a rebuilt or should I go ahead and buy a new one.$$$? Thanks, Ralph in...

    Starter Problems with Ericson 30+

    Have a 1984 30+ with Universal 16hp engine. Recently began to have starter problems after replacing the starter with a rebuilt one. If I use the glow plug as recommended, then add the starter button nothing happens. If I release the glow plug the engine starts. Was told about a possible...

    Starter - Glow Plug Switches

    I'm starting to get some intermittent starting problems from my engine (MP25) and based on my electrical knowledge and searching on this site, have traced it down to the switches. Does anyone have the replacement part numbers so I can go ahead and order them? Thanks,

    starter issue

    Non Ericson specific. I have a friend with a Catalina 30 with a starter problem. Turning the key to start the diesel the engine would crank and start but the starter would not disengage. If you turned the key to the off position the starter would stop and the engine would run fine. My friend...

    E-38 Starter removal

    I seem to have a bad solenoid on the starter and would like to have the starter rebuilt. Has anyone removed the starter on an E-38? First impression is that not all of the connecting bolts are accessable and very little room is available. Diagrams in the Universal service manual are not too...

    Check Your Starter Wiring

    This tale may help you to avoid an engine fire on your Ericson. While cruising Lake Huron on our 1981 E38 this past summer we had a fire in the engine compartment. Fortunately, the fire was contained to the engine wiring harness and relatively little damage was done. What I think happened...

    Boiled starter battery

    Our Ericson 34 has two house batteries and a separate isolated starter battery. The starter battery is relatively new -3yrs old top of the line 27 series - and she would not start the diesel last week unless plugged in to shore power. She showed 12.32 volts, terminals were clean, cables were...

    Starter... Solenoid? Wiring?

    Hey all... I'm having trouble getting my starter to turn. I've got full power in the batteries. I've searched on this topic here and found a couple of things, but wanted to check with you all and see what else I should be looking for. So far I'm thinking Check the wiring at the start...

    Online Instrux on replacing starter rope

    The starter rope on my Evinrude 6 motor broke. I can pull out the motor and take it to a shop, but the thing is greasy, smelly, and heavy. I think maybe I can replace it myself and avoid a lot of trouble. Any instruction online? Thanks. Robert

    '74 E27 1000cc Engine Starter Battery

    I have a Palmer P60 gas engine (60 Cu. in., 6.5:1 compression,22HP @ 3000rpm) on my 1974 E27. Due to space limitations I am wanting to add an additional starter battery of a smaller size. I already have 2 house batteries for backup. Looking at the P60 engine manual I see a no load requirement of...

    Starter Problem

    As a part of the boat survey last month, an intermitent problem was detected with the starter - one would need to "toggle" the starter switch (only occasionally) to get the engine to initially turn over. A direct and steady push would get the oil light to dim, but the starter wouldn't engage...
