Hi all! I haven't been here in a while. I still have my Ericson 38, Guinness. I'm putting a new Genoa sail on this year. Last year I put on what I believe was the original sail that came with the boat when I bought it, about 10 years ago. I always used the smaller sail that I had, I think it...

Filters are good. As I said, it's running fine now, but I bought a new fuel pump, the psi is only max 5.5. My engine won't run at full with the new pump. My original pump doesn't have any info on it.

Does anyone know what the psi of the electric fuel pump should or needs to be? I have a Universal 5432. I'm having problems with the engine shutting down when I push the throttle past half. I took the original Facet Pump apart and cleaned it, and now it seems to work perfect. I figured I...

Yeah, I noticed the forespar fittings look real close, I may be changing to the plastic stuff.

The actual bronze through hull.

Does anyone know where I could find replacement through hull for my 1982 E-38? The three that are in the head. I sure hope I don't have to reglass and redrill for new ones. Thanks, Don

Rub rail What one did you use? Do you have some pictures I could see? Thanks, Don

Does anyone have a good piece of the black aluminum rubrail off of an older Ericson 38?

Thanks Laren! What I'm looking for though, is a old used piece so it will kind of match up with what's on the boat now. That weathered look. Don

Hello everyone! It has been quit a while since I've been on the Ericson site. I was wonder if anyone has a piece, or can direct me to where I could possibly find a four foot long, or longer piece of used genoa t-track for my E-38? Thanks, Don

I used the white foam roller, 1" dia. and about 6" long. The rollers had the little hole. Don

I painted my mast and boom last year, using Interlux Perfection, and it came out pretty darn nice! I followed the intructions to the "T". Are you waiting for the induction time? I remember after mixing the paint you're supposed to wait about 20 minutes or so before painting. Just a thought. I...

Has anyone used a boomkicker on the E-38?

Thanks, I removed the bearing yesterday in the snow storm. My prop shaft is also out so, I elected to cut it out also, using a kingpin saw, I think that's what my buddy called it. It's basically a hack saw. I've done this before, on my previous boats, I was just was unsure about the no set screw...

Happy New Year all! I tried to do a search on this, but didn't find it. Anyway, does anyone know the correct size Cutlass bearing I need for my 1982 E-38? I measured 5 1/2" long x 1 1/4 OD, does that sound correct? Also, I don't find any set screws in the strut, is that correct? Should I go...
