Mast leak resolution (sort of) Water leaks down the mast on our E-34. Stopping the water completely is difficult at best. But the prior owner came up with an idea to keep the water out of the bilge for the most part. He tied a length of heavy duty cotton string (+/- 1/8" dia.) around the...

Thanks to all that replied. Very helpful information.:)

I own a 1987 Ericson 34 and am considering buying a Garmin GPS/Chartplotter that can also be attached to an in-hull (shoot thru hull) transducer for on-screen depth readings. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge if this will work ok? Information says that it will work as long as the...

Thanks Kevin. This is very helpful and I appreciate your efforts. The routing is basically what I was envisioning but a picture is truly worth a thousand words. One concern I might have is ending the vent line into the side of the anchor locker where it would be exposed to seawater or other...

Shadowfax- The v-berth tank on our E-34 is a rigid tank, I believe made of polyethylene. I believe I misspoke on the orig. post when I said it was polypro. I think the tank was factory installed when the boat was originally purchased. I believe the owners manual lists the tank as holding 25...

No rush Kevin. I don't want you to go through a lot of trouble but if you were able to post a picture or two it would be greatly appreciated.

kevin81-- You say "the optional forward tank vents to the anchor chain locker." I've actually considered doing that very thing. But since my forward tank is in the aft storage locker under the V-berth I would have to drill through at least three locker walls to be able to extend a vent...

Thanks for the help. It sounds like I'm not the only one to experience problems with water tank venting. Just to be clear...the vent lines on our E-34 are free of any kinking or obstructions. Air/water pours out of the vent spigot at the galley sink whenever we fill the tanks.I agree with Tom...

I have a problem with the freshwater system on our 1987 E-34 that we bought 2 years ago. I'm hoping that someone may have heard about or run into and solved the problem. Our E-34 has three solid polypro water tanks. One is forward under the v-berth, the second is under the starboard cabin seat...

I own a 1987 Ericson 34 w/M-25 Universal engine and am considering installing a Campbell Sailer prop. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with these propellers and/or opinion of them. I have heard some good things about them but wonder if it is worth the $$.
