We have a 1990 35-3 "Seute Deern". She was named by the previous owners. We are based in West Vancouver and have found her to be an amazing boat in the 5 years we have owned her. Sorry for coming to this forum very late!

Ours is number 283 built 1990.

After a week away I came down to find some of the oil had leaked so I am still looking for some advice on what type of oil to add to the damper unit. Any help welcome.

As a follow up, I have now repaired the unit. The repair itself was rather straight forward after we removed the radar and mounting bracket. I replaced the o-ring and tension pin and refilled it with motor oil taking care not to fill it too full to allow for expansion of the oil in the summer...

Has anyone ever serviced one of these? My one has been leaking oil and needs new o rings. I am also not sure what kind of oil was in the damper unit. Any advice welcome. Thank you.

I will msg you to discuss how we can sort this out. I think the Kenyon ones will fit. Thank you.

Thank you. I will see if I have a similar pad eye I could use. Seems like a good idea to help take the load.

Thanks for your reply. I look forward to the picture.

That’s amazing. Thanks for your reply. Let me check the sizes tonight. Could you send a pic of them? Thank you.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience replacing the plastic halyard exits with something more substantial. All my plastic ones have broken with wear and tear. I am considering adding stainless exits to my Sparcraft/Isomat mast (circa 1990). I have replaced the main wire/rope halyard...

I regret that we will not now be able to attend this event. I hope you all have a great time.

Shannon - we are also booked for the rendezvous and are hoping to be able to attend. Callum (E35-3 Seute Deern)

Thank you for all the replies. I have used my fish tape but with no success so far. Hoses seem well and truly locked in place. I am looking at alternative routing of the hose and running a smaller diameter hose through the old one (not ideal but better than the current set up!). Thanks again.

Christian - thanks for the prompt reply. Love your videos by the way. I appreciate the advice. Yes, floor boards don't come up easily. It would be a major project and one I want to avoid. If I can't get it through the same path, I may be able to route it into the starboard locker and by...

Hi - this is my first post asking for assistance. My (original I believe) automatic bilge hose (Lawrence 3/4 ID) is severely rotten where is exits under the engine. I am trying to remove the old one and instal a new one. It's a tricky job - without much force the aft end of the hose...
