Hi Shawn,
Did you buy the boat?
Tip: before hauling the boat, replace the speedo paddlewheel with the plug.
Another tip: keep these two tethered together and only insert the paddlewheel
when you go sailing, and replace the plug when you get back to the dock. That
way, you'll never have to clean
Hi Shawn,
Is the paddle with the magnet still there? It
will show as a little block on one paddle.
If you're lucky with it being there then just
build up the broken paddle with epoxy putty to
the same general profile as the other blades.
Close is good enough for the resolution a
cruising
Speed through the water is used by most instrument packages to calculate
true wind. Without it all you will ever have is apparent wind. Not a
killer but something to consider.
You might be able to find a replacement wheel. Most are just held in by a
pin. $5 part.

The 35-2 has an original (I think) B knot meter, but the paddle wheel has
one paddle broken off from a lifting strap. Apparently this old sender is
no longer available. Is it worth getting a replacement knot meter to get
speed over water? The boat also comes with a B H1000 windex and several

Nice to see a well thought out solution so well documented for the rest of us
to learn from.
Is Dennis's project posted on Stu's website?

Dennis I finally had time to look through your steering documentation; that is
quality work my friend! You almost have enough material there to begin a book;
add some of your other fine upgrades and you are ready to publish!Thank you for
sharing this.

The shower on the 35 MKI must be similar to the one on my MKII so i don’t
quite understand what gives rise to your comments Joe. Definitey not like
the big acrylic shower and home but totally adequate for a 35 foot boat.
The biggest issue with showering daily while cruising is the amount of
water
I don’t consider the shower on our 35 MK I really useable. You can squirt water
on yourself for sure, but it makes a mess and I think using it every day as a
liveaboard would not have any good results for the woodwork nor the general
ambience of the bilge.
In warm weather I use a plastic
