30+ pressurized water pump location Mark: The location of the pump is in the battery compartment under the area where one would sit while at the nav desk (quarterberth) on the aft wall. I'm 99.9% sure that there is no accumulator tank (there isn't a whole lot of extra space in these...

I have an '87 Ericson 30+. We bought it used, and it had a Shurflo water pump for the pressurized water system (galley and head). This pump appears to have died. I went to Shurflo's site to see if I could find the model number and came up empty. The model number is 220-223-34. It has a...

Thank you, Don Quixote! Good to know, Keith! And it's a good thing I don't own a Kubota tractor--I'd be wasting an awful lot of time looking for that raw water pump!:egrin:

Got you beat, Graham! I follwed the link provided by Tom Metzger to Tractor Smart in Lebanon, PA. The Kubota pump was as follows: Original Part Number 15534-73030 Current Part Number 15534-73030 Description PUMP, WATER ASSY Price Each Part $95.95 Gaskets were $1.10 each I...

Featherman Thanks, Loren...I have worked with John ever since the days that I was wrestling with an Atomic 4 on a 75 C&C Mark I 35-footer and dealing with the Atomic 4 guru, Moyer. As I mentioned to David (Emerald) earlier in this string, I had a link to Featherman that didn't work (I had...

Thanks, again! Tom and Tim, the pic and the link and the parts numbers are all great info & I really appreciate it. David, thanks for the Featherman link. I intended to go to Featherman about these items. So Sunday or Monday, I tried to follow a link for Feathermain stored in my...

Thanks! Tim, I was even thinking of removing the part to see if there was anything on it that might help identify a part number on my next trip back to the marina where we keep the boat (50 miles away) if that was my only option. I was hoping to be able to order the part before then so that...

Over the weekend, my v-belt broke. Further inspection indicated that what might be an "auxiliary water pump" seized, thereby stopping the rotation of one of the 3 pulleys around which the v-belt travels and causing the friction that caused the belt to break. I'm not even 100% certain it is a...

Didn't race but went down anyhow For the 1st year in the last 6, I didn't crew or enter this year. However, I left Friday afternoon w/ a dockmate on his Caliber 33 & were anchored early enough Friday evening that waking up Saturday for the bloodies and screwdrivers was not a problem. Another...

"Alien" boat owners also making use of site! A dock mate of mine asked me just last weekend if I knew much about this site & I told him that I'd been visiting it for about 4 years. He owns a Caliber w/ a Universal diesel for aux. power. In looking for an owner's manual for the Universal...

DRAT! Can't make it! :esad: We already have commitments for that weekend on the bay! We'll be at Dun Cove, north of Knapps Narrows on the east side of the same land mass containing St. Michaels...Dun Cove is more or less along Harris Creek at this point and just about due east of the south...

but whattabout the decals? That all may very well be, but from where am I going to get my white Viking helmet logo decals for the cove strips when the current ones give up the ghost?:eek: :scared: Regards, Ed:egrin:

Greetings, I'm hoping to identify the boat, captain, and crew of a 34- or 35-foot Ericson (could have been larger) headed into the West River on Sunday, October 1 in the late afternoon. The folks aboard gave hearty waves of hello to me and my crew aboard Spirit, our E/30+. Regards...

Nicely done! Greetings Corkhead, Julian, thank you for posting the pics...mod looks great as does the inside of Molly. Regards, Ed:egrin:

Additional glow-in-the-dark sailing equipment Greetings all, First, let me reiterate that I have no interest (personal, family, investment, otherwise) in this commercial endeavor. Now, with that out of the way, I emailed Nightsailing.com to advise Trevor that I had, indeed, rec'd my...
