I am in deep doo do I recently purchased a new rudder for my Ericson 29 from Foss Foam of CA. I was disappointed in the fit. Despite assurances that they "had this" with over 30 years under their belt, I found a 1" gap at the leading edge and rubbing against the hull on the trailing edge. I...

Yes, thanks for that. I am beginning to lean toward repair. Insurance assessor today said it might be totaled by them. I am getting more encouragement to address this myself. Thanks for your feedback. I will look into that longboard.

Good morning and thank you for your reply. The inside hull-deck roving is holed. I am sure there is damage/delamination I cannot see.

Hello all. My 1971 E-29 suffered from damage after grinding along a steel sea wall for about 10 hours on the evening of 8/20. After renovation and refit that lasted for one year, this is heartbreaking. New portlights, new batteries, new wiring, new nav lights, new anchor winch, new wood...

I got it! I fully endorse the telescoping magnet! Except I got one with the bendable arm. It worked great. Thanks to all!

I will for sure... I am going also try two coat hangers Thanks man.

Help! S.O.S. I own a late model A-4. I opened the cover for the transmission to remove excess oil to prep a potential shaft seal replacement on the advice of a boat yard friend. After the cover was off, I reached over the opening to the transmission with a rachet and a 7/16th socket was...

Here is another idea... Gentlemen, I am the owner of an E-29 and looking to make similar modifications. I am still hemming an hawing over what to do...but... Here is a well planned out idea from James Baldwin of Atom fame. He is the owner of a Pearson Triton...

Hello all. I am in need of advice. My E-29 tiller cracked at the base. I found the tiller maker in California on this fine forum, but they only have the E-27 tiller. After several phone calls witht he company, H+L Marine, I discovered that my E-29 tiller has a 2.5 inch rise. The sales lady...

Rail mount photos. Ignacio, Thanks very much for the shots...looks good!

Propane locker pics CamD... I have a tiller E-29 and am getting serious about a conversion with a set up much like you described. I am looking hard a propane heater for the cabin and mounting a 2 10# tanks or one 20#... Could you provide photos of your arrangement? Thanks.

Keep us posted! Doug, Please keep us posted...nice photos. I am very interested with how you do this and what it will look like. Please let us know where things became difficult. Great work. Matt

Glyn and Mark, Thank you for the tips! Mark, I am also looking for the whole unit...and some of the plastic domes. I have a couple of RV stores nearby that I can look at real quick. Glyn, I shall drop you a line. Thanks so much for your offer! Matt

I am looking to replace an overhead light that came standard with the E-27 and 29's. I have a bad switch and a cracked plastic cover. I am trying to keep the boat in as much of it's original form as I can. Are any available anywhere, or am I stuck with having to go "modern?" Any input...

E-29 and Composting heads I too am looking at such an alternative. I do not think that Nature's Head requires a heat source. A 12 volt fan to move the air is the only electrical item I am aware of. My biggest concern is the fit in my head space on the E-29. Does anyone with an E-29 have...
