I have been on the phone and also emailed photos to Tech support at Century. I recently purchased a 2002 32' Century and during the prebuy inspection, I found the battery cables for the port engine pinched with the generator diesel fuel tank. This could be extreemly dangerous and everyone should look to make sure you don't have the same...
The diesel tank had a small leak and I was taking photos of the tank to look for the leak when I found this.

In case you need to know where to look ...

On the port side, looking aft, small door.
Behind that door are a lot of electrical connections and battery cables. Behind all of these cables and the very back inside corner of the diesel fuel tank.

Behind everything in this photo and to the left...

Thanks for the info. A fishing buddy just purchased a 1998 Century Sport Cabin, no generator on this model. Sitting on the same lot was a 3200 Century, with the generator, hopefully who ever buys it will check the web and find this post.
