    Shaft tube replacement

    Does any one know which length shaft tube to replace on E-35 II? 9" or 4-5/8". I am only assuming I have a 3/4" shaft on my 1979 boat.

    Crankcase vent tube

    There was another thread about this a few weeks ago. Here is what I did to reconfigure my filter/vent tube. Similar to what Maine Sail did. I wish I could have used a filter with a rubber top (would have been easier) but all the ones with rubber tops were too big to fit the space. My filter is...

    Rudder Tube Grease Fitting

    Last night I was adding grease to zerk(?) fitting on rudder tube. I guess I over filled it as grease worked its way out from under the fiberglass tabing built up around the zerk, not a good thing I suspect. My question will it leak water do I have to reglass- launch in 2 days and many things to...

    Fuel tank pickup tube

    Our 36C fuel tank is set under the aft cabin bunk and holds about 45 gallons. The tanks bottom follows the contour of the outside hull and is thus sloped up and away from the rigid pickup tube at the aft end of the tank. I hope I'm not the only one who finds that motor sailing is not an evil...

    Prop log tube glassed in

    I started replacing the packing for the prop shaft and intended to change the rubber tubing at this time on my 1978 E29. I started removing the clamps and realized that the rubber tubing is glassed into the prop log. Has anyone else seen this and any recommendations for the removal of the...

    I am about to order a Manecraft Shaft Seal (http://www.tnorrismarine.co.uk/manecraft.php) in an attempt to get a dry bilge on my Ericson 30+. To order the right dimension I need to know the diameter of the prop shaft and the OD of the stern tube. Unfortunately I don't know these measures and my...

    Grease fitting - rudder tube

    My 1984 rudder tube grease fitting just doesn't function anymore.. Lucky to get this far. Anyone have any thoughts on replacement, as you know it's never where you can get to it easy. So my thought is to replace and insert new fitting at a point that can be reached, thus more frequent...

    Rudder Tube Repair

    I own an E29, Hull 560. I have had a mystereous leak which, after having a number of people in the boat, I finally located. As near as I can figure the rudder tube is cracked somewhere just above the waterline and just below the berth platform. I can see water coming down the tube where it...
