hunter 34

I have a 1984 Hunter 34. Last week I manger to toast my shore power cord and inlet due running a couple of space heaters and dehumidifier the cold and wet weather here in the Pacific NW. When it got really cold it all kicked in at the same time and drew too much power. I have decided to replace...

So it's trading real hard today on the Columbia River and! I heard to the boat to do some more repairs to get ready for sailing on Father's Day. A section of interior section of the hull starboard side galley was repainted few days ago when the weather was nice. Stepping aboard this afternoon...

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a Hunter 34 which is in good condition aside from a small crack in the keel, however seems to have quite a bit of moisture in the deck. According to the survey (which was done in 2016, mind you) everything is solid, but moisture readings are showing at least...

For those owners with a1980s vintage Hunter 34 had anyone exploited the well the fuel tank sits inside of? I seem to have gotten water in there and I'm wondering if there is a drain hole? Or do I need to remove the tank? Thanks in advance for any help is photos you might have. sam

Hi again with more questions as I did further into our new to us Hunter 34. When I look at the molded liner for the Vee-Berths there appears a void/air pocket at the very front and aft of the forepeak under the bunk. Has anyone investigated this? Have you installed an inspection port into the...

Hi again. Can I install a standard, plastic, waterproof inspection port, of sufficient size, into the top of the rotomolded diesel tank aboard my 1984 Hunter 34? Discovered while cruising the Columbia River in November that I have diesel bug or gunk in the fuel after running the engine for many...

How can you tell if the false bildge had been exposed or not? I recently purchased a1984 Hunter 34 and want to do the modification, but came tell if it was done by a previous owner. I am cautious as the boat is in the water and don't want to go they the hull looking for something that may not be...

I am new to Hunters and the idea of a recessed anchor well. where does one storage they're anchor rode and chain. the previous boat I was on we carried 350 of chain before we went to rope/line. Has any one installed a deck pipe in the anchor well to feed chain and ride under the vee berths?

Had anyone installed a comparing toilet on an early 1980s Hunter 34? Did you find one that fit? Did you cut out part of the liner to provide the needed space to get a comparing toilet installed?

Does anyone have any info, diagrams and photos of for the installation of the ac/heater on a Hunter 34? On the boat, we just purchased significant pieces that seem to be missing as are the manuals for its operation. My hope is to get working heat before the rains return to Oregon. Thanks for...

On our recently purchased 1983 Hunter 34 I have discovered while crawling around looking at thru-hulls a blue metal box to starboard of the fuel tank with wires leading to and from it - does anyone know what it might be or was? Sorry I forgot to take a photo.

Hi and thank you for reading. I am close to purchasing a '83 Hunter 34 and I am compiling a list of safety requirements to make the boat safe for a passage over the Columbia Bar (mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon - The graveyard of the Pacific). I am looking at how many seacocks I might have...

My fiancé and I have been living on an oDay 27 and just purchased a hunter 34. Nothing left aboard other than the mess from previous owners and staff from marina picking through and grabbing whatever. Many things are new to us, the pressure water system. On board refrigerator, and HOT water!! No...

I'm considering purchasing a 1984 Hunter 34 and was hoping to get some honest feedback on the boat. As this will be my first boat, I'm looking for something that is stable and easy to sail. I'm planning to sail on the Great Lakes, mostly day-sailing but with a few short overnight trips with...

Trying to figure out what each of the lines on my mast are for on my Hunter 34. I have the tall rig, 46 ft. tall mast. Removed the mast and am refurbishing. Want to re-rig it right. Masthead has 4 sheaves two of which were being used, one forward, one aft. These were the jib halyard and main...

Hello everyone. My names Chad. My wife Katie and I are refitting our newly acquired 1983 Hunter 34. The hull is in good shape but it's been on the hard for a few years and the cabin sole is rotten. and I can see the cabin is starting to crush into the compression post. Currently we are...

Something in the rudder of my 1983 Hunter 34 squeals whenever I turn the wheel. The steering effort seems heavier than other boats. It isn't getting worse quickly but has been there for 5+ years. There is little motion when I try to wiggle the rudder (1/16") from below . I'm guessing it's...

What is the "stability index" of a 1983 Hunter 34? This is a value put out by USsailing.org for blue water races. Zeek

Hi everyone, I'm hoping I might be able to get some opinions from the Hunter crowd here! My wife and I are looking to buy our first sailboat, we've got a good bit of sailing experience under our belts, but this will be the first boat that we've bought. We're limited on price because we're both...
