  1. Cruisair SMX circuit board repairs?

    Does anybody know where to get the circuit boards in a Cruisair SMX (vintage 1990) thermostat/system controller fixed??? After calling over a dozen A/C shops, nobody is able to fix the boards, which are out of production. The only solution they all offer is $1,000 per unit to convert to a newer...

  2. Oil Stain on Teak Deck

    Without going into all the gruesome details, the helper kid carefully put the broken high pressure water maker pump upside down on the unfinished teak deck, with the cap off. So - who has good ideas to remove what's left the one quart of dirty oil that is now firmly in the grain of 10% of the aft...

  4. Advice on new Garmin vs older Furuno

    I just installed the new hardtop and it is time to make some decisions on electronics. I currently have a Furuno RDP-139 with a 4 ft open array. I like the unit but like everyone else, am very impressed with the functionality of the Garmins. If I were to switch and buy new garmins, I am...

  5. Headliner Cost

    How much does it cost to have a new headliner professionally installed in a 58'? I have fooled around with this sort of thing in a car and have reached the conclusion that I have no business doing it in a nice boat.

  6. 12V71TI's to 12V71N's

    I did a quick search and believe I found the answer, but just wanted to confirm... We're currently looking at a Hatt with 12V71TI's. The original engines went 5800hrs and were obviously very well maintained. The engines were rebuilt, and have gone 3300hrs to date. They pass the cold start...

  7. here's one for the electronics guru's

    Garmin GMR x04 open array radar just quit, no warnings, error codes, it just quit. This unit is accompanied by a voltage convertor (10-32v to 36v)from Garmin with the GMR60x pedestal being a 36v unit. My GPSMAP 5212 MFD doesn't recognize the radar as it did prior. I have replaced the network...

  8. The AMF years at Hatteras, as bad as at Harley-Davidson?

    I know from my motorcycling past that H-D went downhill rapidly once American Machine and Foundry took over. They are now seen as a typical conglomerate plunderer of it's day: no money for R&D, lower build quality, bad relations with dealers etc. What were the AMF years like at Hatteras? When did...

  9. Purasan and Water Pressure

    I've installed a Purasan EX waste treatment system on our 43DC. It appears the fill time and resulting water level of the tablet dispenser is dependent on the water pressure, so I have to reset it differently for dock water and for water from the water tank. Further, the water pump kicks on at a...

  10. 1985 52' Hatteras Sportfish

    Hi.......I just had my offer accepted on a 1985 Hatteras Sportfish. I will be flying up next week to sea trail her. I have a question though. I have been told that there are Detroit 8-71's powering her but from everything I have read, that is not what she was originally powered with. I believe...

  11. Detroit diesel to natural gas conversion

    Just for the sake of discussion has anyone ever successfully converted a 2 stroke Detroit to run on natural gas? In one of the other forums a guy said that he had read about some companies successfully running 92 series on natural gas over in Texas . Natural gas is going to be the future in my...

  13. Manuals and drawings on PDF

    Robert Clarkson put a link on another thread that was a 92 series manual. I immediately downloaded it and put it on my IPad. I intend to scan all the drawings and info that came with Esperanza both to back up and have easily available for viewing. As a contractor who was an old school paper...

  14. Problems with Viking Yachts

    OK, this thread may be a little odd for a Hatteras Forum, but I figure after 800 posts you guys will cut me some slack. I'll be looking at and early 80's 46' Viking soon. I heard they sometimes have issues with stringer rot and loose engine mounts. Has anyone here seen the problem first...

  15. Phosphoric vs Muratic Acid for Heat Exchangers

    I had a fine time recently flushing out the AC and part of the port engine raw water systems with a phosphoric acid solution called Phos-Foe and a bilge pump. (Per Genesis) Everything seems to work fine and the solution foamed as I pumped it in a closed circuit through the intercooler...

  16. What to do about old fuel?

    due to lack of use my fuel is now 6 mos. old and is starting to clog my fuelseps even. I run the engines weekly for an hour but that doesn't seem to be enough. My mechanic says to just run it through the filters (I have 2 racors and 1 alyska filter per engine) and change them often. Should I pay...

  17. Repowering a 58 for trawler speed

    Just wondering how much hp would be needed to push a 58 along at trawler speed. Was thinking a pair of 6-71n @ 310 might work but not sure. Thoughts? (Yes, even though I'm currently boatless, there is a specific reason I ask)

  18. Green Corrosion on Bronze Fittings

    Correct me if I’m wrong. Galvanic corrosion causes the bronze to de-zincify, causing the metal to take on a pinkish color and weakening it. Bonding protects the metal by connecting all underwater metals together, placing them all at the same electrical potential, thereby elimination any current...

  19. Trend Marine Products Pilothouse Door

  20. SeaDek or similar products

    We are considering doing the main deck on our 43DC with sea deck or a similar product. Our deck needs some help as it is. We like the look and are considering DIY. Has anyone done it? How does it wear? Stains? Price? Been to the SeaDek web site and came away confused. Thanks! Becky and...
