Hunter 34 Gulfport, FL
Hello all. I own an 83 Hunter 34. There is an issue with the bulkhead separating and my repair guy says that is appears as though it has no tabs. Was it common for these boats to have the bulkheads untabbed?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Which bulkhead the one in bow for bow cabin the bath bulkhead or stern bulkhead I believe Hunter didn't design fixed bulkhead in to be structural or water tite like some serious off shore boats they are just blocked and screwed in either for ease of reconfiguring layout of cabin or in my case I found it made it easy to remove entire interior to replace rerun mechanical electrical equipment within boat. Regardless hunters boats are built as a bowl and top system and bulkhead doesn't add or reduce structure strength just tighten screws and reculk joints and all good

Whatfiero,
Thanks. It's the bulkhead in the bow that is the issue. I am relieved that it is not a structural concern. I've passed your comments to my repair guy.
