Hunter 33

• Fuel 22 gal
  “22 gal” — spec database (1977-1983), hunter.sailboatowners.com
  The only source is the member-edited HunterOwners spec table for the 1977–83 Cherubini 33. An owner on the SailboatOwners forum says a 19 gal replacement was slightly smaller than the original aluminium tank, which fits; a 1977 for-sale post quotes 15 gal for one boat.
• Water 40 gal
  “40” — spec database (1977-1983), hunter.sailboatowners.com
  The HunterOwners spec table gives 40, with no unit written but gallons implied. A 1977 for-sale post quotes 50 gal for one boat, possibly altered. Hunter's 1982 brochure has a Hunter 33 column in its tank table, but those shaded cells can't be read in either copy (a black-and-white scan and a low-resolution colour scan).
• Holding unknown
  The builder's Hunter 33 plumbing diagram lists a 'holding bag' (flexible tank) but gives no size.
• Water heater AC · standard
  “Hot and cold pressure water system (standard; marked for the 33 in the standard-equipment table)” — brochure (1982), sbo.sailboatowners.com · “Water heater (Hunter 33 plumbing diagram legend); 14/3 marine power cable to outlets/water heater (AC wiring diagram)” — owner's manual, sbo.sailboatowners.com · “existing heater ... does not have a heat exchanger (owner of a 1981 Hunter 33)” — search excerpt (1981), forums.sailboatowners.com
  Capacity not stated. The 1982 standard-equipment table marks hot and cold pressure water standard on the 33, and the original owner's-manual drawings show a water heater on the 110 V AC circuit. One owner of a 1981 boat reported the original heater had no engine heat exchanger.

Tanks are often replaced or added on older boats — check the tank labels or a survey for yours.

• Bow thruster unknown
  The 1982 Hunter standard-equipment table lists no thruster; no option list or other source was found.
• Stern thruster not fitted
  Our earlier figure of none has no source, and nothing was found either way.
• Steering pedestal cable · Yacht Specialties
  “auxiliary cruisers, sizes range from 27 to 37-feet, all with reliable diesel power, pedestal steering” — brochure (1982), sbo.sailboatowners.com · “Hunter models that have pedestal steering should undergo periodic visual inspection of cables and pulleys. These cables” — owner's manual, sbo.sailboatowners.com · “Hunter 33 (1981) Steering ... Merriman / Yacht Specialties Pedestal Control Head” — owners' association (1981), shop.hunterowners.com · “have any of you hunter cherubini owners removed your y/s pedestal for a edson pedestal?” — search excerpt, forums.sailboatowners.com
  The 1982 Hunter brochure and standard-equipment table make pedestal wheel steering standard. Hunter's owner's manual of the period, covering all its pedestal-steered models, gives the cable-and-quadrant mechanism (no drawing for the 33 was found). The HunterOwners parts store lists Yacht Specialties (Merriman) pedestal parts for the 1981 Hunter 33.

Thrusters and steering are often replaced — check the units on your boat before ordering parts.
