I'm about to install a new EVO-100 autopilot on our 35-3 and wanted to get some feedback on locations of the EV-1 and ACU. I plan to put the p70s controller on either the port or starboard side, just to the side of the wheel. Any thoughts on the best place (ease of installation) for these two...

Thanks all for the information/feedback you provided - much appreciated, moving out with the high strength 3/8" halyard (no change required to deck hardware) & halyard knot.

Did you have any issue with the splice (at the shackle) going back through the sheave and prevent a full hoist?

it's an '84, with the original sheaves - with 3/8" on the main and 7/16" on the jib. Previous owner didn't put a splice/shackle because it would go back through the sheave and prevent the a full hoist on the jib. I'll have to confirm the mast. thanks

I’m looking at new halyards for my 35-3. The data I’ve found shows 3/8”, but I’ve got a mix (3/8” on the main and 7/16” on the headsail) now. Has anyone had issues with going to 7/16” for both the main and headsail? The deck hardware can handle up to 7/16”, but I’m concerned about the mast head...

thanks for the sketch, i'll use this when ordering my tank. I noticed that your vent port was .75" Dia, where my current tank is .625" Dia.. I'm trying to determine if the vent on the hull is .75" Dia or .625"? I can always pull it apart to verify.

Thanks so much for the info./confirmation on the B192 and the picture is great. I too am going to stay with the current location and make it work. The rest of the plumbing in the boat is new along with the head, so hate to throw all that away in relocating the tank to the v-birth. Sounds like...

I'm looking to replace the current holding tank (bladder type installed by previous owner) with a hard plastic tank. I checked the blogs and found info dating back to 2005/2007 on a Ronco B192. Does anyone know if that is a good replacement tank for the 35-3 or of any other tank designs that...
