Thanks for all of the help. I spoke to Marine Hardware and it seems they don't have a corresponding number to go with the E35-2. Does anyone here know if it is the same as the E29, 30 or 34? Thanks, Brett

Hi, I will need to replace the shaft strut and was wondering if anyone knows where I can procure one. Apparently mine is broken completely according to the diver. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Brett

It doesn't seem like the pics went through. I'll try again, if not I can email them to you off the list. PLease let me know. Thanks, Brett Contreras brettcontreras@hotmail.com

Loren, here are a couple of pictures of the furler. I didn't get the brand name, as I didn't get down to the boat today. I just happened to have these pics from when I was looking to purchase the boat. I hope then help you identify the type of furler at least. Any info, instructions...

Loren, thanks for the reply. I didn't notice a name on the lower drum, but I didn't look that hard. i will shoot a photo of it this afternoon and post it tonight. As far as the turnbuckle unthreading, that appears to be what is happening, which is throwing me for a loop. I'll post the...

This may be a stupid question, but It seems that the old roller furling system(not sure which brand) on my 1973 E35, turns the forestay when you furl it. At first I thought maybe the roller was just frozen, but at second glance, I'm a bit confused. The other thing that I noticed is that the...

Thanks Loren. There was about a third of a turn of play before, and when the wheel was turned hard all the way to one side, it jumped the pulley. When I reattached the cable, I noticed that there was a lot of play in the cable, so I adjusted the turnbuckle until it was maxed out.( the cable...

Has any one adjusted the play out of the wheel steering on this boat? If so I'm looking for pointers. Thanks, Brett

Sean, Thanks, I'll try and find some 35-2 owners on the site and ask them. The boat does have an Atomic 4 gas engine. I did read the 35-2 review in the docs section, it helped a lot. By the way, great job on the web site. It's really nice to have access to all the information and other...

Sean, Thanks, I checked out the reviews and all the post I coul find. That will give me a good start. Do you know what the distinction is between a 35-1 and a 35-2? I'm curious, as the boat I am looking at is a '73 E35, and I assumed it is a MK2, but I wasn't sure. Thanks, Brett...

Hi all, I am new to the Ericson website and discussion group, but I am hoping to find some help here. I am contemplating the purchase of a 1973 Ericson 35(I'm guessing it's a MK2?), hull # 275. I'm seeking advice on what to look for on this particular boat before purchasing it. The boat has...
