Hi TJ,
I am a new F35 owner as well. I have a '93 F35 and do have some
crazing on my swim platform, but not excessive.
The holding tank is accessed through the starboard cockpit lazerette.
In there you will find two vertically mounted plywood boards. There
are a couple of screws at the bottom of those boards. Unscrew those
and lift the boards out. You then crawl into the lazerette and can get
at the tank from there.
Regards,
Paul

I installed a macerator pump on my F32 last year which was not a
difficult process. You’ll want to mount the pump as low as you can
and reasonably close to somewhere midpoint between the discharge
thru-hull and the tank. Pay attention to the amperage draw and size
your breaker accordingly. You’ll probably need a 20 amp breaker,
minimum. Make sure you purchase high quality tubing meant for the
purpose. Otherwise, you may get odor infiltration, and double clamp
all connections. You’ll find if you take your time, it will be a
fairly intuitive and simple process.
Good luck

Here are our 4000 settings.Rudder gain=3Response=1Turn limit=20degRudder align.=0Off course alarm=20deg.Auto trim=1Drive type=2Lat=41Rudder dampening=1Cruise speed=5. Strange as it may sound you need to have the drive type set to hydraulic for it to handle the 35. MarkFreeRadicalHello again to all. after a two year move to a J32 we are back to the Freedom line.

Regarding the autopilot- On our Hoyt F32 I’ve noticed a certain
amount of play when it is in use – a very short back & forth clicking motion
where the ring attached to the wheel engages with the drive spindle or whatever
it is called. Anyone have a similar experience?
