TUNE Indicator Jim, Here is a link that might give you a clue. http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/3091 When you do a manual TUNE Operation, does the TUNE indicator flash? Based on my limited Kenwood experience, If the TUNE indicator does not flash, it means that the control signal...

Welcome from a fellow newbie Jeff, Congratulations - My wife and I are new owners of an Ericson 28 (on Lake Michigan). I have already made good use of this forum and have found the inhabitants to be universally friendly. Here are a couple of links I ran across earlier for Ericsons for...

Kenosha Ericsons Frank, Thanks for the reply. The Southpointe has a waiting list as you probably know and there were only three 35' or smaller slips that came available this fall. We will be over on the D dock (if memory is correct). I would prefer to be in the E slips - maybe next year. I...

Thanks for the info. I think I'll check the fittings I can reach and if they are sound, then live with the flaking paint for a year or two. The PO did say that the top of the mast was inspected two years ago by the local yard riggers. The water heater has me a little worried. I found an...

I am in the process of purchasing a one-owner 1988 E-28 that appears to have been well maintained with a few notable exceptions. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p> 1) The mast which at some point was painted white is losing its paint...
