Dennis,

I have something similar but on my 35-2 what it is looks like already moulded 
into the headliner is a space for the 2.5" backing plate of a stand up block to 
be used either for reefing or Cunningham to be led aft.  Or possibly a staysail 
halyard.  Mine was used at one time then glassed over

WOW WOW WOW

They let you work on it yourselves and on weekends too?

That is great.  We have Zoomer at Yacht Management in Bristol RI, and we
got the shaft.  Can only work on the boat Mon thru Fri 7am to 3pm

Really sucks when you have to travel 2 hours up and back...

Hello all 35-3 owners - I'm looking for some advice, especially from those
who have re-habbed their keels on this model...

I was checking on Mojito this morning, and noticed beads of moisture in two
areas; a spot at the top of the keel trailing edge and an 8" hairline crack
on the port side at hull / keel stub (almost exactly where the mast step is
internally).  Would this have been enough for you to go ahead with major
keel surgery?

Rear of keel
I've been trying to resolve this for a while; two separate boat yards have
had a go at if, and the area is now solid fiberglass / epoxy, but still a
tiny crack / area of moisture. There was water in the bilge just aft of the
rear keel bolt (I removed the floorboards and sponged the area dry).  Water
would not normally stay in that area, but the boat is tilted back a little
on the stands.  I have not had the keel bolts torqued in 7 years (since I
bought Mojito).

Mast Step area
This is the first year I've noticed moisture in that area; there have been
hairline cracks in the antifouling before.  The mast is stepped and I can't
access that area through the mast step, which appears sound.

Thanks,

Tim

I noted this a while back on my findings about the keel hull joint on the
35/3 and 33/2 models and that comment got a fair amount of disagreement from
some owners on this list.but I really liked the 35/3 design . and the 33/2
design as well but I learned that both have some serious issues where the
keel joins to the hull that might require significant repair which may or
may not solve the problems, depends how the repair is done.it is an
important area to fix and I believe that one of our members has experience
in doing it properly.ask and you will find out.the fix is relatively
expensive but worth it if you like your boat.IMHO do the proper fix and
you'll not regret it

Hi Dennis,

I have one.
The flat surface is the same elevation as the
handrail landing(s). On deck there is a
corresponding round spot with no non-skid. It
looks like the option was to mount a spring
supported turning block there to lead a control
line aft. I believe it would have been cut &
cover'd for nut & backing plate access.

I have no idea which optional control line it was
intended for and I have forgotten who I lent my
book "Sail Power" to, so I'm missing that bit of
70s reference. I know, it sucks!

The bilge pump on my 35/3 is under the forward dinette seat.  A hose
leads to a strainer in the forward sump just behind the mast.  I'd
like to replace it with a higher volume pump, but I can't find one
that will fit in the bilge compartment next to the keel bolt without
spending ridiculous amounts of money.  Any recommendations?

I bought one of these (I haven't fitted it yet) it has a built in electronic

Hi Tim
I'd pull the cabin sole and see if the floor grid is still well attached
to the hull at the turn of the bilge, I'm guessing on the port side it
is not.

Hi Joel,

Your job is not to need it!  Read John Vigors blog from November 27, 2012
How fast will you sink?   http://www.johnvigor.com/Blog.html

Sometimes I think pumps are like "psychological placements" when rock
climbing, you put them in when you can, and it helps to think you
tried, but you know it won't stop you if you fall.  I zippered six or
eith pitons in the old days, and was saved by my partner.  I landed
on top of him, and he was hurt a lot more than me.  Oops.

Usually color of the pump doesn't matter, just get the biggest one
that will fit, and install well.

Good Luck, Lee

Lee, if he is right
Note that a mere 2-inch-diameter hole 3 feet below the waterline will let
in 69 gallons a minute, or more than 4,000 gallons an hour.

and my pump is 4 gpm and I use both manual pumps I'm still screwed!

Joel,

Just my opinion but first, most of your boat isn't 3 feet below the waterline.? 
Second, the hole probably won't be a full 2 inches open but a jagged splintered 
opening.? Third, go buy 3 or 4 toilet bowl wax rings and throw them on the 
boat.? They'll plug a lot of oddly shaped holes.? Wad them up and jam them in 
the hole, smash them in really good.

Third, slowing down the flow of a hole isn't terribly difficult.? Place a life 
jacket, pillow or whatever is handy over the hole and brace it with more 
"stuff".? Maybe keep an inflatable dinghy flotation bag on board to press the 
seal against the hull.? Spend some time thinking about how you would patch a 
hole here or there or over there.? Many of us Navy vets went through damage 
control training.? The training was real.? We were placed in a training mock up 
where water poured in through various holes of different shapes and locations.? 
You'd be surprised at how quickly you get creative when you're getting 
inundated with hundreds (not 69).? :)

If you can't slow the flow down substantially, a larger bilge pump isn't going 
to save you.? Put your boat bucks in a good DSC distress capable VHF radio.

Thanks!  I've got the radio.  Never heard of the wax rings.  I'll get some.

BTW, rigged a webcam and old laptop as a no cost bilge monitor.

Lee, if he is right
Note that a mere 2-inch-diameter hole 3 feet below the waterline will let
in 69 gallons a minute, or more than 4,000 gallons an hour.

and my pump is 4 gpm and I use both manual pumps I'm still screwed!

Hi Joel,

How fast will you sink?   http://www.johnvigor.com/Blog.html

Sometimes I think pumps are like "psychological placements" when rock
climbing, you put them in when you can, and it helps to think you tried,
but you know it won't stop you if you fall.  I zippered six or eith pitons
in the old days, and was saved by my partner.  I landed on top of him, and
he was hurt a lot more than me.  Oops.

Usually color of the pump doesn't matter, just get the biggest one that
will fit, and install well.

Good Luck, Lee

Joel,


I bought one of these (I haven't fitted it yet) it has a built in
electronic float switch and will fit between my keel bolts.

If anyone else has one working I'd be interested if it was an OK choice!

 The bilge pump on my 35/3 is under the forward dinette seat.  A hose

 leads to a strainer in the forward sump just behind the mast.  I'd

like to replace it with a higher volume pump, but I can't find one

that will fit in the bilge compartment next to the keel bolt without

 spending ridiculous amounts of money.  Any recommendations?
