I recently purchased a 1984 35-3 which is a fabulous match for me and my family. The helm seems inordinately stiff, however, and I am wondering if that in endemic to the design or something that needs immediate attention. I have loosened the cables a bit which helped a little but have not yet looked for a rudder post packing box which I sense from a post here re a 32 may exist as such on the 35-3 as well. Having been raised on wooden gaff rig boats with tillers, a wheel is new to me. Any thoughts?
