Ericson central parts??

[skywalker]

My previous boat was a Catalina and I was really impressed that I can virtually go to one place and order absolutely any part I needed for that boat either on-line or on the phone through Catalina Direct. Where do you go to get stuff you need for your boat? Is there an Ericson equivalent?

Hey Ben, the short answer (as far as I know) is no. I too had a Catalina prior to my Ericson, but even then I used many different supplier for parts, Defender being my favorite. There are many components on Ericsons that are the same as those found on Catalinas. My portlights are the same as the ones on my C-25, and the Universal M25XP in my Ericson is the same as found in many Catalina's (C-34). This forum is also helpful in directing you to suppliers for some of the more Ericson specific items. If you do find an Ericson specific supplier I'm sure you'll let us know.
