bulge problems

[Ron F]

I have a 1984, 34' Hunter I purchased in September. The boat does not have a manual and I can't find anyone local that has a manual to get number to order. This is my first sailboat and don't know what is required for maintenance and how some of it is done. Can anyone help me locate this manual? Please e-mail me back at ronf@unitedautomatic.com. Thank you for your help.

Owners manuals are VERY basic.

Ron:Don't know what you are specifically looking for but the Hunter Manuals are VERY basic. You are probably going to be better off posting your questions here to get your answers.PS: I don't have a H'34 manual for you either.

Check for books on boat maintenance

There are very many good books on boat maintenance. Some are general purpose and try to cover a lot of systems, some concentrate on electronics or diesel engines.You can find them at bookstores, or at least at most on-line bookstores.List of systems that need maintenance (remind me if I've forgotten anything)ElecricalEngineRiggingHead/Holding TankFresh WaterTeak (not really a system, but if you have teak, there is a lot of maintenance)Propane SystemSteeringWinches and other deck hardwareAll of this needs to be inspected and maintained regularly to avoid problems.Zincs need to be replaced, the bottom of the boat needs to be cleaned and painted.

What's a Bulge?

Steve is right on the money. I had a 1983 H34 for 16 years and the manual was of little value.Get an engine parts and maintenance manual from the engine manufacturer/distributor, get B

Manual

Bought my H-34 new in 1983. The manual is not worth copying. You will learn much more from the archives of this site than any manual will tell you. One of the most popular 34 ft. sail boats ever produced. Fast and comfortable. Bring your questions here, and you will receive the best advice available anywhere.
