Owner Experiences
Version 1.7
January 23, 2011
This document provides a basic overview of the major systems and equipment commonly found on American Tug 34s and 41s. We’ve included our experiences with maintaining and improving these systems, as well as some tips that we and other owners have discovered along the way.
While we hope this document will be useful for owners of American Tugs, there are probably some items of more general interest that will carry-over to other boats as well.
