After my repower I noticed my boat had a slight list to the port and on occasion shifted from port to stbd. I looked all over the boat for water where it should not be, ect ect but found no clues about why it does this until I worked my way through the Bennett Trim tab system...which has been on...

I am repainting my bottom this week and plan on using Trinidad SR over Hydrocoat. Pettit”s website says it is compatible with ”Heavy Sand and Apply”. Existing paint is not peeling. Any opinions or prior experience with switching to hard paint from ablative without complete removal?

I am planning a trip to the keys during spring break (March 16th). I'll be coming from Melbourne, down the ICW to at least Stuart. What's the best route from then on? Also, if conditions are good, isn't the ocean back pretty economical with the Gulf Stream?

What is the best method of trolling between 2-3mph with a HATT C, say 45-48 footer with anywhere between 425's to 720 HP's DD's? I ask because my understanding is these low rpm's are not good on desiels, so how should the boat be equipped or modified? Are there trolling valves available? What are...

Hello Everybody: I have a 2005 Hatteras 54 Convertible, every time I engage the trolling mode (turn on the trolling switch) the transmision just goes to neutral an the boat stops, so I turn off the trolling mode switch in order to make the boat move again. I know that is not good to troll for...

I think I understand the idea behind trolling valves -- a way to release pressure on the engines turbo'd up for high HP that spend a lot of time at troll. I guess this is a must for charter boats that troll 1000 hours a year. What about for boats that will spend a few hundred hours a year...

1990 Hatteras 52 Convertible with 8v92s and Allison MH20 Transmissions. Are trolling valves an option with this marine gear? Thanks for any input! LIVJACK Hatteras 52 C Seattle, WA

I read the thread about the tanks on the Hat 58. I have the Hat 54 (1987) and I tried to fill the water tank for the first time. All I got was the water on top of the tank. I checked the lines from the rail down and found everything dry fron the rail down to the top of the tank. The deck opening is...

Up to this year I've never run my 46 with 8/71s rpms up over 1800 but since my last discussion on this forum I've been cruising at 2000 and the boat runs great between 20 and 22 mph. I was able to get the RPMs user 2300 for a test but this weekend I axidently popped the starbord trans out of gear...

I installed a used Lowrance HD5 today. I connected it to power, ground and to my existing transducer. Only 3 wires. Blue black and shield wire. It originally worked both chart plotter and bottom sonar. Now bottom sonar is scrambled and no depth numbers. Any ideas on why it stopped. I have...
