I found the problem that was making my starter burn up. A pull -a- part 8 pin connector, looks like OE from "88 and made by Medallion. full of corrosion and shorted out. I have taken it out of the system and went wire to wire and everything works now. Do I need this connector? Was it for just...

AS OF TODAY, BETH & I ARE THE PROUD NEW OWNERS OF "INVICTUS" A 1981 E-28+.:egrin: WE SPENT THE DAY ON BOARD CLEANING & MAKING MINOR REPAIRS AFTER SHE SPENT THE LAST 1 1/2 YEARS ON THE HARD. THERE IS A CHECK VALVE IN THE EXHAUST BETWEEN THE DIESEL ENGINE AND THE MUFFLER. THE SURVEYOR SAID THIS IS...

Hello All, Working on my E38 today, getting it ready for the season, etc. It wintered in the water so there isn't much to do to prepare it. My boat has two of the four cockpit drains connected to a single 1 1/2" drain that dumps through the bottom of the hull. In the course of working on the...

Hi Sailors, Check out this new website www.SailMonster.com Cool videos, photos, meet other sailors. Thanks Cheri

I recently purchased a 1985 32-3. The boat has two Rule 500 gph bilge pumps. One is in the shower bilge and one in the main bilge (the next bilge back). Both have check valves installed. The shower bilge gets a lot of water draining into it from the mast due to all the rain we get up here in the...

Holy Cow! Check this sailing video out! Global Challenge Sailing Emphasis on the CHALLENGE! Watch some southern ocean greybeards wreck the crews of these open ocean yachts. My guess is they muted the sound because it was easier than bleeping all the curse words...

Posted the below on the Sailnet Ericson group. Got some good feedback, but the more the merrier. I'm still looking for sources for the bronze elbows, especially since one has to go in about a foot beyond the mixing elbow and the fiberglass elbows say you need to be at least two feet away...

This tale may help you to avoid an engine fire on your Ericson. While cruising Lake Huron on our 1981 E38 this past summer we had a fire in the engine compartment. Fortunately, the fire was contained to the engine wiring harness and relatively little damage was done. What I think happened...

I am the new owner of a not so new 1976 E27. I am having trouble switching her into reverse and am holding on to all hope that it could be as simple as low transmission fluid. Can anyone offer some guidance where to find the dipstick for the ATF? Thanks so much! Shannon

:0305_alar For several years I have been vexed by a problem with my Yanmar. When forced to motor the thing will start and purr like a kitten. It will run at cruising speed for about 2.5 hrs. then suddenly it drops to an idle. After about 5 to 10 seconds it revs back up to cruising speed and...
