Marlin Prowell
E34 - Bellingham, WA
I am seriously considering repowering my E34-2 with a Beta Marine engine. I currently have the original Universal M25. @Teranodon installed a Beta 25 in his E34-2. A UK boatyard installed a Beta 30 in what they called an Ericson 35, but it is actually a Pacific Seacraft version of the E34-2. I've taken careful measurements, and I don't see how a Beta 30 quite fits in my engine bed.
The UK boatyard sent me more pictures of their installation and I'm beginning to suspect that Ericson or Pacific Seacraft moved the stern tube aft a few inches when they started shipping E34-2 boats with the Yanmar 3GM30.
I've attached photos of my engine bed measurements, starting at the aft end of the shaft seal and working forward, along with a drawing. If you have a E34-2, does your engine bed match mine, or, if you have a Yanmar engine, is your stern tube further aft?
Inquiring minds want to know....
