Maintenance & Storage
No wonder diesel mechanics say the 34z has the best
marine engine access they’ve ever seen! The entire pilothouse deck rises 45 degrees on electric lifters. Side panels (removed above) permit full access to either side of the engine. You can then step down from the cockpit to into either locker for checks or service. Wing fuel tanks are used to improve stability. Full-sized 26” mountain bikes may be stored hidden away in these lockers. Shown are mesh bags to organize hoses, shorepower cords,
life jackets, etc. Deck drains (see left) capture rain and dew which then flows into the gray water system out through the transom rather than over the side through a gap in the
toerail … streaking the topsides. The only exposed teak on deck is on the optional Adirondack stern seat which is protected by a snap-on vinyl cover when not in use.
Anchoring
The optional anchoring system features a Muir
windlass with self-launching, polished Lewmar claw anchor and 250’ of bright stainless chain and ½” rode. Anchor up/down controls are at the helm and on deck.
The 1.25” bowrail option includes a spotlight with burgee mount attachment rail. 34z’s spotlight doesn’t throw back blinding reflections from the foredeck and stainless, common with cabin-top mountings.
Safety
The solid swim platform with no openings, suppresses exhaust and prop noise as well as performing an important safety function. If one accidentally falls overboard with nobody near to help, a 37” telescoping swim ladder makes reboarding easy. No boat has better boarding
handrails and steps as well as handrails on hardtop, cabin top, cabin sides, under the hardtop, on either side of the companionway entrance and overhead in the galley
