Aft cabin bulkhead door

January 2018

The aft cabin on the Hunter 340 has a teak bulkhead hiding the fuel and waste tanks and the rudder shaft. There is a fair amount of space back there but it’s very inaccessible because of the awkward bulkhead that is screwed into place. I have seen some owners put a door in the middle for access to batteries or fuel filters, but I thought I could make use of the space behind the fuel tank.

I cut a door into the port side piece of the bulkhead and placed zero tolerance kitchen hinges on the back side.  I use this space for covers, soft coolers and toolboxes.
