E34 I have owned my E34 since 1993. It is a1990 vintage, I am the original owner. I love this boat, obvious since I have kept it for 17 years. I have been chartering it with me as skipper for the past three years in Southern Ca. with no issues. Like any boat, you have to maintain it and it...

I am looking for the skipper of Aloha Kate out of Dana Point Ca.. I took a couple of pics of the boat and they turned out pretty good. Contact me via e mail and I'l send tem to you. Dave More davidemoore@cox.net

Gotta Have One Alan, Please put me down for a flag. Thanks, Dave Moore E34 Dana Point Ca.

Guy, Thanks for the detailed information. A couple years ago I got my USCG masters certificate so I could work for a local charter company. I just do day sails, whale watching, fun stuff, etc. I decided to put my own boat into the charter feet being the sole skipper and have the boat paid...

Hopefully someone can help me out. I have a 1990 E34 in Southern California in charter with a small glitch. The Coast Guard is now making me Document the boat for both Pleasure and Coastwise instead of state registration. What I need is a way to get the document called "Evidence of Build"...

I have an E34 and had a leak only when healed over and squatted down in the transom. This drove me out of my gord because I had a dry bilge when at rest and when sailing slowly. I have a dripless stuffing box so I should have no water inside the boat, a good thing I am thinking. I never got...

Pump I have a 1990 E34 and one of the pumps mounted on the went out also. It was a Shureflow. The plant is in the town right next to me so I took the pump over to them to look at and they gave me a new one after a few days. The pump was 10 years old and they stood by the product. I call...

I have an Autohelm 4000 on my E34. As with everything on a boat, it will fail from time to time as mine has. I installed it 10 years ago, I use it when I motor or single hand. Install was fairly easy and so is operation. There is a host of gripes on the internet about this hardware but I...

I had an issue with the fog a couple years ago coming back to Dana Point from the island. It was so thick I could not clearly see the person on my bow through the fog and mist, and my boat is only 34 foot. About half way across the channel we heard the faint sound of a fog horn, it got louder...

Kim, I live in the next town over from your brother and have an E34 in Dana Point. This harbor is very close to where you will be staying. I also skipper for Dana Island Yachts. Usually Catalina 36's. Here is the web site to check out. http://danaislandyachts.com Let me know if and...

Chris, I also have an E34 (1990 vintage) and have been in the starboard coffin a few times. First my muffler developed a leak, only under pressure, and I replaced it. This was interesting since you can't even see it to replace it. Next was the water heater. My dock mates saw me when I...

Jeff, I just figured out how to post the thread on for all the other forums. Just got to be in the right place. Dave:

Thanks Jeff, I was able to find a web site with all the mast and boom parts you could imagine. WWW.rigrite.com They have Kenyon parts and just about everything to get the repair done. As for posting my question to the design or other sections, I couldn't find how to do that. I may be...

Greetings, I have a 1990 E34 in Dana Point Ca. and am in need of advice. This week end I was sailing along in about 15 Knots of wind and the center block for my main sheet broke away from the boom. No panic because there are two other blocks attached to the boom. In examining the boom, it...

I had the same issue with my speed control. If you have an Edson pedestal set up, there is a nut to tighten the leaver to keep it from creeping. Also the return spring may be too heavy on the engine speed control itself. I just tightned the bolt on the control leaver and it works fine.
