Hey guys for the info sounds like perfection is the way to go, the mast is definitely painted and the paint that's there is good. Contacted someone to spray it on my initial visits he was the best guy in town had a chance to see some of his work and decided to pass!! I think after the initial...

We have a 1984 35-3 black Kenyon spar that we would like to repaint white. We have to pull the rig to do some work on the grid under the under the mast step so now seems like a good time. There is some corrosion at the masthead and a few other places along with the assorted dings and oxidation...

Ryan Great pics, your install looks to be the cleanest I've come across other than rebuilding the entire locker, our boat is a 35-3 with and almost identical chain locker set-up would like to install a Maxwell horizontal after reinforcing the pan just wondering if doing it the way you did does...

Long story short bought our boat 2yrs ago in Santa Barbara rented the house put everything else in storage moved aboard and started the big refit so thanks to all you that have helped over the past year or so. So the windlass I'm currently stumped on how to get the pan out of the locker tried...

Thanks Thanks so much, Tad. Wish I could offer you a tall cold one for your time

Need a big favor we are ordering a new mainsail cover and forgot to measure the circumference of the mast at the height of the stacked main wouldn't be a big problem except our boat is in Ventura CA and we are up in Oregon working anyone happen to be closer to their boat and could give us a hand...

Wow another mystery solved you are certainly right about the C&C set-up our previous boat was a C&C 34 and we did have to deal with that by the my wife/nurse assures me that eating out of square pans and plates is an excellent way to get three squares a day. Cheers

Thanks Tim It looks great we'll be getting one of these and taking it down to the boat on our next trip really elegant solution, by the way can shed any light on what looks like a foot pump spout in the head but seems to disappear behind the shower, is it just for looks !!!!!!! Thanks again Jon

Loren thanks for the reply ,yeah my solution was the same as yours smaller pan but that really didn't fly.......... I think what will happen is I'll have to go with and under-counter type it gives me wore room that the original self rimming type and a single hole type valve its kinda of a...

We'll be moving aboard our 35mkIII in a couple of months and have been thinking about options for a little larger sink at least one a decent sized pan would fit in, any ideas? has anyone swapped out for a larger any help or suggestions would be great Thanks Cyn

Thanks for all the great info looks like the dripless seal is the way to go by does anyone happen to know waht the shaft tube size is our boat is 15hrs drive time away so kinda hard to get that measurement Thanks again john

Its time to haul our new to us Ericson for all those projects that can only be done on the hard. POs have done no maintenance on the shaft seal and it needs either repacking or thinking about replacing with a PSS seal any thoughts or experience in this area could really use some advice as its a...

Sorry it so long to reply In Santa Barbara now took possession on Saturday last, great sail in the afternoon has taken us 2 days to clear out all the strange bits from the last owners it seems they left everything and walked away. Of course we've found leaks things that don't make sense to us...

After selling our much beloved C&C 34(totally unexpected)and searching for over a year we kinda of stumbled across a 35MKIII just went to see her having gone thru our list and still had time on our hands while in SoCal, we knew that Ericson's are known for their build quality but we knew nothing...
