  1. Inexpensive & Uncomplicated Binnacle Compass Light Upgrade

    E32-3 Inexpensive & Uncomplicated Binnacle Compass Light Upgrade

    One day I lifted off the cover from the compass on Rumour to look at the wheel brake mechanism. While I had it open I noticed there were two electrical leads completely disconnected and close to making contact. While it makes perfect sense I never thought there would be a compass light on the...

    Broken Gear Shift Mechanism

    My gear shift mechanism broke inside Sea Bjorn's, E30+, binnacle tube. It's a plastic part in the shaft where the wheel meets the inside of the binnacle. It's the part that sends both the transmission (port) and throttle (starboard) controls down the binnacle. Anyone have an idea on how to...

    Binnacle Removal Ericson 32

    I just purchased a 1985 32' and will be removing the binnacle to address some leakage issues through the binnacle itself and into the cockpit sole which is a little spongy. I hope to drill some small holes from below decks to drain and dry the plywood core, and then inject with epoxy when dry...

    Binnacle cover patterns

    Hi Vikings, could someone please share the patterns or any other know-how on the binnacle cover construction for their noble vessels? (Advice to go to a local canvas shop does not count as a know-how). Thanks in advance, Stan

    Binnacle cover in SF Bay Area

    Guys, just got a new Navpod and Angleguard on our E32-3. Obviously, old cover does not fit anymore... Any good references for canvas shops that can provide a kit or a ready-made Sunbrella cover? (Not the Spinnaker shop in Palo Alto). Thanks, Stan & Tanya P.S.: Sean, I know it looks...

    Creaking at the Binnacle

    Creaking at the helm I get this creaking at the helm of my Ericson 30+ while under sail. It's right at the floor under my feet. It seems to be a reaction to the boat's movement on the water, and not when I turn the wheel or get weather helm. At first I thought it was coming from the rudder, but...
