  1. 853 Detroit in my 1968 38 ft. Convertable Hatteras engine failure?

    I was running at 2550 RPM, 17.2 knots when all of a sudden the starboard engine lost RPM rapidly; and thick, very thick copper gold colored smoke poured out of the ehaust. The engine then tried to find RPM with the tach ranging from 800 to 1500 RPM . I shut the engine down and discovered that all...

  3. One more reason to hate West Marine

    As if (I) need it. Got another email promo just now. I’ve unsubscribed at least four times and they apparently won’t honor my request. I think I’ll go in and try on all their clothes and maybe reorganize their zinc inventory.

    Getting ready to put a bid in on a 53ed here in New Bern, n.c. Broker started engines on a cold start last night.

  5. Muriatic and Oxalic vs phosphoric for H/E

    OK, I screwed up and bought the Muriatic and Oxalic acids instead of the phosphoric. I should learn not to depend on my memory when I'm shopping. That said, can anyone give me the "recipe", i.e mixing ratio, for this approach, now that I have it all and don't feel like exchanging it?

  6. 1960s Fiberglass tanks and Ethanol. Is everyone affected?

    I wonder if all boats with gasoline engines and fiberglass tanks MUST eventually change their tanks or risk engine failure. I just bought a 1964 that was supposed to have monel tanks but found the tanks are in fact fiberglass. Is that just a question of time now before the resin is leeched into...

  11. Are 2 batteries enough

    Hi folks. My Hatt has the original 2 battery set up, one for the starboard engine and generator and one for the port engine and house use. On my upcoming loop trip, I'm wondering if my single port engine/house battery will be enough to run my Norcold fridge overnight while at anchor without...

    When I had a bottom job done 4 years ago, they put VC Offshore Bottom Paint on the hull. It has held up GREAT! I need to change the color this year due to a complete paint job and can't seem to get the same answer twice on what I need to do to prep the bottom for the new color. Do any of you...

  13. Detroit Diesel Ring Compessor

    With this fresh water pump R&R leading to taking 1/4 of the engine apart, I started looking at kits for my 6-71s. To my surprise, there's a special ring compressor for DDs. From the looks of it, it's a tapered cylinder you put on top of the liner that puts the squeeze on the rings as you push the...

  14. Boat colors: Convertibles: what's the theory?

    How boats are painted fascinates me, especially convertibles. Seems that most Hatts, Vikes and Oceans in the 70's and 80's had a version of a house "off white" with varying degrees of teak trim. The Hatt color seems to age much better than Vike's, for example. Lately I've seen a lot of newly...

  15. Generator room blower

    I have a 1979 53' MY. The generator blower trips the breaker each time I turn it on. There is a blower vent hose on the port side hanging down just below the floor boards. I used one of those cameras with a 2 foot wond to try and find where the blower was mounted. No luck even after punching...

  17. Stop Solenoid- Voltage Drop

    I just had replaced a stop solenoid on my 6-92TA's. The motor still does not shut down--especially when warm/hot. The mechanic says the linkage is fine. I am thinking voltage drop. Aside from a bad stop button, dirty connections or a blown stop fuse, are there any other places I can check to...
