I have a '79 35-2 on Texas Gulf Coast. I've had local shop draw up plan for two-piece bimini, with separate sections covering helm and cockpit (see below). Cover is clearly warranted in this environment, but before I pull the trigger, I'd like to get input from anyone who has gone this route...

I had very similar problem during long cruise last week on my E35-2 with a Universal 20hp. I checked everything possible and concluded that sender had gone bad. Signal to alarm buzzer was constant, so I ended up disconnecting the alarm buzzer to get back home. In the course of this, I discovered...

I'll take 2.

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...

I'm pulling the three-burner pressurized alcohol stove/oven from my '79 E35-2 and will be disposing of it one way or the other. It is missing the alcohol tank but otherwise complete. If anyone needs parts, let me know, and I'll be happy to send them your way.

Holding Tank Installation I'm working on installing holding tank in my '79 E35-2. Is the tank shown in your picture located on the common wall with the head?

Looking to replace fixed portlights on '79 E35-2. Any recommendations on where to look for best replacements? I dealt with New Found Metals in the past when replacing ports on a Cape Dory, and like their products. They have stainless ports that would fit here.

I'm a new owner of E35-2 on Texas Gulf Coast. I've reviewed previous threads in D&F and elsewhere on this topic but would really appreciate additional input. Sun and heat conditions here are brutal for much of the year, and biminis are more the rule than the exception. Current plan would be to...

E35-2 in Texas I've got a E35-2 at Watergate in Kemah, Texas.

Solace is a 1979 E35-2 (Hull #570) with the standard galley arrangement (see below). As shown, the original Galley Maid pressurized stove/oven combo is still in place under the forward countertop, although the canisters are long gone and it's no longer operable. I initially planned to replace...

Both sides still spin, but it looks like the throttle handle just sheared off at some point, so it's just sticking in the slot with nothing holding it in there. I'm hoping there is an after-market handle of some sort with the same diameter. Regarding the brightwork, I'm definitely an oil guy...

I'm a new owner of an E35-2 in Houston area. Boat appears to have original gear shifter and throttle handles on pedestal. Discovered today, when it went flying across the cockpit, that throttle handle had sheared off at some point in past and is only stuck into hole unsecured (explaining why it...
