I too am interested in this bracket, as I can't see any evidence of them on our '74 35-2, but I certainly have creaking around the bulkheads when underway, or if things are breezy at the dock. From the inside, the bulkheads appear to just rest in a groove in the liner. There is a small amount of a greenish material which looks like 1/8" fiberglass just visible in the area above the reading lamps, but I'm not sure what this is, or if the PO added it for some reason.
I'd love to find a way to reduce the creaking... -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto On Mon, Jul 22, 2019 at 3:11 PM Neil Gallagher via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Dennis, > > You have me interested, as I don't think my 35-1 has any type of brackets, > and the bulkhead does squeak in any significant seaway.
