    My money should be going to other things!

    I know with the condition of my E35-2 I should be focusing the hundreds and thousands of dollars going into it so so often, into things that enhance performance and safety. I also feel like you have to take little wins that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you can. I drew up this...

    Temporary Sheave Band aid

I went up the mast recently to try and get my halyards moving again, one has ball stops that got jammed in the sheaves and the other halyard line broke. Both are spliced line to wire. Once up there it...

    E35-2 Opening Port Source

    Although I'd like to eventually replace all the fixed ports on my 1979 E35-2 with opening ports, I'm starting with the port in the head to get some ventilation in that space. Thus far, I haven't been able to locate any after-market ports with the same dimensions. If anyone's been down this road...

    E35-2 Folding or Feathering Prop

    Amongst the projects I have planned this fall when I haul the boat is the installation of a folding or feathering prop on the old girl. I've gone over the Yachting Monthly article about said props about a dozen times. I've also looked over forum after forum trying to get a proper grip on the...

    E35-2 Extending galley behind bulkhead

    I'm extended by galley behind the bulkhead and wouldn't mind some advice. When I bought the boat, there was a sheet of plywood covering the hole shown in the photo and a new electrical panel mounted in it, which has now moved adjacent to the chart table. I wonder if the original electrical...

    E35-II holding tank

    So I have looked around and have not really found an updated source for black water Holding tanks for the E35-II. It currently has no holding tank and seems it was removed by the previous owner. It looks like it was located in the bilge under the settee nearest to the head. I have searched...

    Need help rebuilding the Bulkhead on an E35-2 (suggestions on who can do this?)

    I'm about to embark on rebuilding the bulkhead on my 77 E35-2. Would love a suggestion of a qualified person who can do this for me. The boat is in Newport Beach but could be moved to Long Beach or to any yard in the SoCal area. Thanks, Dan

    Restoring an E35-2 - looking for upgrade suggestions

    I just purchased an E35-2 (1977). She's in reasonable condition but I would like to bring her up to current standards. She was re-engined 10 years ago ($8,000 retrofit to a Universal Diesel - 30hp). Most electronics are original. She has a roller furling, auto-helm, radar dome, alcohol...
