Transom

While I know Ericson had the outboard transom cutout in its earlier models, does anybody know if they offered it as an option during the later years? Like towards the end of the production run? I'm looking at a pretty clean late model E27 with an outboard and the inboard compartment looks pretty...

33 years ago, I purchased this boat new, with the color scheme of a Landfall 38 (sand colored hull, white cabin, burgundy cove and boot stripes) (Ericson demanded extra deposit for the colors, then used it in an ad, Ericson 38 vs. Landfall 38!). Alas, the yard in Westchester County, NY...

…is looking pretty sad. What's the quickest, easiest way to deal with it so that I don't have more problems later? Sand off the varnish then sand it smooth and apply tung oil? Is it safe to assume it's teak? I don't much care how it looks. It just has to function and not deteriorate...

Hi, I am totally new here and not sure where to post this. Unfortunately my grandfather wasn't around long enough to teach me much more then the ropes and the basics of sailing. I was looking through my current Defender catalog, and saw these things called "Transom Showers". This seems like a...

My E-28 always developes transom soot after a day out. The exhaust is located in the bottom center of the transom under the ladder and points straight back. The boat is powered by a Universal M3-20 18hp diesel that starts easy and runs relatively smooth for a 3 cylinder diesel engine. Is this...

My E26 has 3 lines that drain through the transom. 2 are cockpit drains and 1 is for the manual bilge pump. They are 1 1/2" nylon. Twenty three years of UV have caused them to crack on the inside along the bottoms. This causes them to leak into the bilge-whenever it rains. Has anyone figured out...

On my PSC Ericson 380, the transom is capped with a solid length of teak which appears to be attached with screws which are hidden under teak plugs. 1. Does anyone know if 5200 was also used? 2. Any advice on how to remove without breaking? 3. How is the port stern cleat accessed from...

Yesterday I removed all the above-water factory thru hulls on our transom. It's been over 20 years and from the outside I had observed for some time that the exterior part of each was getting attacked by UV. One of the 1 1/2" ones had been replaced a few years ago by the yard when a workman...

Hi, I thought I understood most of my boat systems, but was perplexed yesterday, so would appreciate any help on the hoses going out the transom of our 1984 Ericson 30+. I had to replace two small nylon thru hulls, one of which had a red 5/8" hose attached which came up from the bilge area...

Hi folks. Still shopping for my next Ericson. Two for sale locally have a near identical cracks along the top aft edge of the transom... you can see a few pictures of one here. I found a description of a very similar problem here. Some exerpts below. Does this sound familiar to anyone...

Hi all, With the risk of offending the purists, I need to replace the stock depth finder on my 1977 E-29, and am considering a Garmin or Humminbird Fishfinder. They are now quite common and have built in functions such as Depth, Water Temp (I dont really care about that), Speed (via GPS) and...

I've got one of the E27s with the cutaway transom. After reading through all the threads concerning cockpit scuppers, connecting hoses, and seacocks, I was almost disappointed to find that my boat has only one cockpit scupper. But it's probably not a problem because any big water in the...

finally far enough through my restoration/upgrade list to get around to changing the name on the transom. Problem is I have a dark blue hull - probably Awlgrip or (more likely) Imron. Beautiful paint job I do not want to mess with - but I have a hunch that when I pull off the exiting vinyl...

Has anyone seen a split about a centimeter below the top of the transom--along most of the transom? Could it be because Ericson only glassed the inside of the hull-to-deck joint, or is this the sign of collision damage, or something else? I am definitely a newbie at this, but want to be sure...

I've just bought an Ericson 29 and am ordering the new name lettering. The boat's about 150 miles away from me and I won't see it until the weekend. Does anyone know what the width of the transom is? And yes, I do plan on an elaborate de-naming and naming ceremony, too! Don't want any of the...

I'm into the 26th season on Mel's Angel, hull #49 of the first production run of Ericson 38. A well worn but much beloved boat. After more than 2 decades of facing upwards, the reverse transom really has had it -- I can see areas of spotted under-coat/fiberglass beginning to show through. The...

Looking for the fiberglass corners for the rub rail. anyone know where we can get these. Got some rub rails from Pacific sea craft a few years back but no web sight now. Thanks Chuck

Are these cutouts from the factory or an addition afterwords? Also is their a Door that fills this space when underway ? Thanks Chris......

I'm considering buying a Ericson 30. The boat has a trasom mounted rudder, Keel stepped mast, and very beefy chain plates. In general, it looks much sturdier than most E 30's and 32's I've seen. In fact, it looks like it could take on blue water with few worries. I see few references to this...

I sail an E35-II, and am looking to install a transom ladder. Any advice as to manufacturer, type, installation? Appreciate the help, as there are literally hundreds of designs out there, but with a swept transom, I'd hate to play hit and miss. thanks in advance.... :egrin: Alan Masallah

What is the rubber thingee that is in wet exhaust line just before the exit opening in the transom? I looked in the West Marine catalog and can't find anything like it. I just replaced my entire exhaust system (again), except for this thing. Since it's 32 years old, I'm wondering what it...

We would like to remove our transom cut out for a swim step, the boat is an E-27 with a tiller & a A-4. I'm looking for input on the pro's & con's of this, what to watch for, what is need to stiffen the transom, etc. Thanks Mark

I sailed to Hawaii last month (from Los Angeles) on a 42' Perry. The conditions we experienced mid-ocean led me to worry a little about the wide flat transom on my Ericson 35 and how it might do under such a pounding. Has anyone done any fortification on their E-35 transom?? I'm thinking that...

Does anyone have any thoughts about adding a scoop to an E 34? How about filling in the IOR rule-beater bustle and adding an eighteen inch dinghy dock? A friend did it to a Peterson design of similar proportions with positive results.

The gelcoat on the upper radius of the transom of my '72 E27 is cracked, more or less along that radius, and for much of it's width port to starboard. The crack was evident at the time of purchase in 1999. The surveyor judged it to be adequately repaired, but subject to worsening, and...
