Glen,
I installed a Rule electric bilge pump that sits in the after part of
the bilge and discharges into the port forward cockpit scupper drain
hose just under the cockpit sole (opposite the scupper with the sink
drain). A check valve is a good idea with this arrangement, even though

Hey Tom,
Do you remember how many gallons of Kiwi Grip were used on your 35 and what
they cost?
Thanks,

We used Kiwi grip on our 35 MK 1. Once the masking was done it went on easily.
I can’t say how long it held up since we got 5 footitis and got Alera within a
year or two.

Any thoughts about Kiwi grip?.
Relatively cheap, easily applied and tinted by DIYers and it holds up well.

Hi Glen,
I installed an automatic pump in my boat a couple years ago. I ran 1" (I
think) black hose aft, under the engine, and out the stern. I didn't put it in
the deepest part of the bilge. When it stops cycling there's always some water
that flows back.

Bruno,
I offer this as a thought, I purchased some of this material as a test,
planning to remove it and buy the real expensive stuff, because I was
concerned how it would hold up under the stress of my dog. An active retriever.
I was amazed how good it has worked and in-fact bought some more
I wonder what vinyl plank flooring would look like.

Hello everyone,
I have a C 35 Mk I. As many know, it didn't come with an automatic bilge
pump (just a manual whale gusher). I want to install an automatic bilge pump
this off season and would like to hear suggestions. I think the hose should go
into the bilge well below the mast step but I
Hi,
The cockpit antiskip is long overdue on our 1987 33-2 and even with really good
deck shoes it is now just unsafe. Our plan is to cover the cockpit sole,
benches and bridgedeck with 5 mm light grey. The templates are made and both
companies (Seadeck and Raptor) do custom work. You send

We are looking at doing the same. Our sole is pretty worn as well. That same
plywood here is about double in price. I think a number of the group here have
done this already.
Would love to see your before and after pictures as we have a 36 as well.

All,
We are going to replace our Teak and Holly sole in our 1979 36-1 this year.
It is pretty tired. I have the old style 5 panel system that screws into the
floor pan. First thought is just replace with the same ½ teak and holly
plywood. I need a sheet and a half and Boulter Plywood in MA
I just watched that one earlier this morning!
I am thinking of trying that trick with a couple plastic 55 Gallon Drums . . .

Yes that's me on another boat. We had to lift 2 boats and the guy that
arranged the crane arranged for a 100 ton crane at about $800 an hour. Lifting
straps got stuck on his mast and they were frigging around too
Instead of going up, why not bring the mast to you

Years ago, there were a couple of "boat workers" doing work aloft on a boat
on my pier. The boat was the first one on the pier so it was next to the
bulkhead.
One guy got in the bosun chair and the other guy hauled him up with the
halyard tied to the hitch on his pickup truck.
DO NOT DO THIS!
Thanks Don - the renogy panel is stiff-ish (similar to say 1/8” polycarbonate)
and not heartbreakingly expensive. It is not bridged over any hard spots, only
suspended on the trampoline of the Bimini.I had contemplated further
stiffening but didn’t want to add weight, then have to support
There is an old joke around somewhere about someone attempting this and it
involves several trips up and down as various things fall on the person.

I also use an ATN, and have for years now. It works well. One issue I
encountered is that I have a painted mast, and the ATN “ascenders” (or whatever
you call them) are made of aluminum or some other metal. As a result, I was
scratching through paint near the top of the mast where it rubs.

Coroplast won't hold up. It doesn't survive UV and when hot gets very soft.
If you use a backing, best to use Polycarbonate sheet.
It is what they use for green house panels.
This is what I have done and it is working well.
I learned the hard way and destroyed one of my panels before that.
I do have the bit that fits into my 28 volt Milwaukee. I have 2 batteries and
it raises the main or large people up the mast with ease . I get 4 or more
raises out of a battery without recharges.
