535 for sale

Age and arthritis have caught up with me, so Evening Tern is for sale. It's an early version so a thick layup. I've replaced the transom and cabin roof ply reinforcement and laminated it in with epoxy resin and appropriate glass matting. (See Roof! in maintenance) I replaced the original hatch with ...

Re: Delaminated Cabin Roof - Shetland 535

Sorry Craig

I´ve been away and didn`t get to see your post until today.

The critical part of marrying new laminations to old is the area of contact between the two. For example joining two sections of flat sheet edge to edge should be a scarf joint, not a butt joint. Ideally the area of the scarf ...

Re: Delaminated Cabin Roof - Shetland 535

HI,
Did this job a while back. Look at Roof! in the maintenance section.

Only thing to add to the story is that it's doing great, despite the fact that I never did get round to the cosmetic upgrade :oops:
Strips instead of sheets make the job easier, but you need to make sure the gaps are minimal ...

Re: ADVICE NEEDED GUYS! RE Engine

I'm with Vreagh. Leaving aside the (important) insurance question, then physically the boat will support the weight. My own 535 has a Mariner 60 EFI four stroke and a Yamaha 4 horse four stroke hanging on the back. Given that generally two strokes are somewhat lighter than four strokes you should be ...

Re: Shetland 535 Drainage Help!

Deliquay is right.There was never foam injected anywhere on the 535 at time of build, as far as I know.
There is usually a single drain hole at the bottom centre of the transom which should have a threaded inner surface which is closed by a matching plug.
Its function is to drain rain water whilst ...
