I have an '86 and it seems quite a challenge to move the aft mattress to allow access to the rear hull area(under mattress) where the engine battery is located.  Any tips on how to make this any easier?  Thanks

Thanks everyone.  After a lot of persistence, I got the PO to give me the previous Survey.  Seems that the old survey indicates 2700 hours by PO-1, a rebuild, 300 more hours by PO-1, about 300 by PO, totaling around 3300 now.  In addition, I found a mechancal receipt that showed about 3200 on the meter.  So I think this is mystery solved.  I think the meter may actually work but it's so faded it can't be read.  Thanks again everyone.

Main Message Board / C34 Maintenance Schedule

I just bought a 1986 C34.  Can anyone tell me where to find a good, thorough maintenance schedule before I spend the time to create one myself?  The manual seems a bit weak.  Thanks everyone.

I'm looking at buying a 1986 C34.  The owner says the hour meter does not work, but says he thinks the boat has around 1500 hours on it.  The troubling thing is that the "thousands" digit of the hour meter is on "3", seeming to indicate that the motor has at least 3,000 hours on it.  Is it possible that the hour meter could be erroneously showing 3,000+ hours when actual hours are only 1500?  I don't know enough about the mechanics of an hour meter to know if this is possible, but it seems far-fetched to me.  Thanks.
