In maintaining and upgrading our '77 h27 for 16 years, I have never come across a part or sub-system that was unique to my boat, to Hunter, or that I couldn't source somewhere. Oh, and having the original Hunter documents doesn't tell me anything I can't find out by crawling around on my boat. Here are some sources to help you:
- this site. Just tell us what you are trying to do, include some pictures of the subsystem in question, and you will usually have a good solution or two from us. That is really our principle activity on this site.
- the West Marine online catalog has many of the parts you will need.
- the folks at the ship's store on this site either have or can find almost anything.
- I have made friends with my sailmaker, his rigger partner, and our local diesel mechanic. All have been very free with their advice, especially when I was learning about my boat.
Good luck with your project boat. I hope you can sail her soon!
