Welcome Jeff!
There are several members on the list with e-boats in SF including myself). I setup a site which covers a lot of my personal experience (I'm not the most mechanical or meticulous of sailors...) as well as information gleaned from this list and other sites.

Should save you some time and headache. My boat is in Brisbane (channel plenty deep; watch out for the afternoon hurricane) and similar to yours in vintage and size.
I'll be up there a few times over the holiday break so offline me if you want to go out for a sail.

I'm docked in San Rafael at Loch Lomond Marina which has a very narrow channel out to deeper water. Both sides of the channel are very shallow, 1' - 2' deep and the cross currents can be fierce, so being able to keep her down the center of the channel is uber important!
