My 1979 E29 had a Yanmar 8HP single cyliner engine with it. I suspect it had a gas engine originally because there is a blower moter installed but not used, and some cutouts in the fiberglass to make it fit. I'm finding that its not much good in heavy winds & would like to put a larger diesel...

Sheaves I took mine (E29) to a machine shop and had them ground (.001) on one side and had the grooves polished. They work like new and it only cost $25.00.

Looking for information on what the theoretical hull speed Min / Max is for an Ericson 29. thanks Randy

Bascially the sheave's (4) are sandwiched between 3 plates, and are pinned through the mast head in a unit. the unit is machined fairly percisely and should slide out after removing the pins (2) quite easily. Once out, the plates fall apart, there just held by pressure and you can get at the...

Thanks...... Well I went ahead and had a machine shop take 4 thousands of an inch off. The also sanded / polished the inside track as well.....wow what a difference. The unit slid in nicely and I was able to watch them turn as I hand pulled the wire halyards over them. It only cost...

I have an 1979 Ericson 29. The mast head sheave's (4), between 3 plates had a plate with some backing coming off. I re-glued the backing, and now the unit is two wide to easily fit back in the mast-head. The sheave's do not turn because of this. Question: 1. Where can I get...
