In need of a working control unit for the Autohelm 6000, anyone have one to sell? Thank you Don Taugher Ericson 38200-263 dontaugher@gmail.com

Always nice having another Ericson in Alamitos Bay. We have a 38-200 on gangway 14, please stop by if you have the chance, we are six boats from the parking lot. Don Taugher Running Free

Sold the table Thanks to this web site I sold the table and met the current owner of the Ericson 29 I previously owned. Don

I really think too much is made about which is better....a PSC built Ericson or one built by Ericson. We are the fourth owners of a well traveled 1988, 38-200. It has been home ported in San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle and for the last nine years in Long Beach CA. It has 2800 hours on its...

I have an Edson Teak Table which I am not using and wish to sell for $200 plus shipping. The table is complete and in great shape, it measures 20"x 32". I have been using it on my 38-200, but it will fit both 9 1/2" and 12 1/2" pedestal guards (center to center dimension). Included is a terry...

Hurth Problem Resolved E-38 At long last I can report on the CLUNK (and slam) I was hearing when shifting into forward. Thanks to Cory, Main Sail and Loren for chipping in their comments, if there were a prize it would go to Cory for his suggestion which hit the mark. Although Cory...

LOREN, CORY and MAINE SAIL: Thanks for your responses, I'm still considering all options. Main Sail and Loren mentioned the damper plate, if that is the problem, do you expect the clunk sound would be the same for forward and reverse? If I were to describe the sound I hear when putting...

I was snooping around the transmission yesterday while in neutral, there are no rattles, no leaks, no excessive movement. I have a dripless and all is dry. Also happpy to report there is no slippage. Any other thoughts? I don't know what a damper plate is, will have to look into that. Don

Cory: Yes I do have a three blade feathering prop and the thought that you have (the clunking is coming from the prop) has crossed my mind. I dismissed this because the clunk is so loud, but maybe I shouldn't. I didn't make mention of this before, but the tranny fluid is nice and pink and...

My transmission has developed a loud CLUNK sound when it is put into forward. There is a softer clunk when going into reverse. As I recall the sound I am hearing when putting in reverse is the sound I used to hear when putting it into forward. Any thoughts? The Hurth Model is HSW50 in my...

The 38-200 had a few changes which have not been mentioned. The 38-200's trunk cabin is longer than the 38 to accomadate the aft head. This change shortened the cockpit, but some of the lost cockpit dimension was made up by reducing the angle of the reverse transom, in effect, the aft end of...

E 38 Photos Hello Todd: Thanks for taking the photos, yes please email them I would like to zoom in if possible. When we passed port to port near the slips, we were coming by to say hello, but just before getting to you the engine stopped. Up went the jib and we sailed to the slip, we had...

e38 differences I believe there are a few other differences which have not been mentioned. Look at the 38 transom vs the 38-200. The 38-200 has a smaller transom and the angle of the reverse transom is less severe on the 200 vs the 38. The cabin top has been extended a bit for the aft head...

Island White Hi Paul: Island White is a great place to anchor, have done it frequently, first in a 29 and now in a 38. Single hook is all anyone uses. The island protects the area from westerly swells, but you might get a light off shore breeze in the evening, so allow for swinging room in...
