New owner

[ANGELS]

Hi everybody.
I have just been an owner of a Hunter 340 year of 1997.
I'm really new to this with very poor experience.
What I have to check for this sailboat?
I have already an expert surveyor but your opinion as older owners is more than welcome.

The first thing I did was obtain an Owners manual. Look here to download H340 here

Dear J. Thanks for your reply

Welcome to the forum! I’d start by working through any action items from the surveyor. Changing the engine oil and filter, and raw water impeller would be good ideas if you don’t know when that was done last. Beyond that I would say to just start enjoying the boat, with small trips first. Things that need fixing or improvement will become clear with use in controlled conditions.

Check out all hoses and their thru-hulls throughout the boat. Do this ASAP.
Add antifreeze and V-belts to your engine list.
Inspect the engine air filter.
Check out all engine hoses.
Much further down the list, change out all interior lights to LED's.

Did you get any maintenance records from the previous owner?
