  1. The Cat in the Hat

    In my FB feed this morning, an ad on BoatTrader for a 50 Hatteras convertible built in the 80s. In the engine room photos, the DDs are labeled "Thing 1" and "Thing 2". (to be sure, they are Detroits and not Caterpillars, but you get the idea)

  7. Fender attachment points

    How I learned to stop worrying and love the heavy aluminum rubrail. Forgive the poor paraphrasing from Dr. Strangelove but the aluminum rub rail really does have that type of mentality associated with it. Great utility can be had by tapping and threading in these 6mm D rings by Wichard. They are...

    These are all for 24volt (anything that I tried that was a range-voltage, ie 12-36V, usually failed spectacularly). The last 2 are for indicator lights on power panels, etc. Amazon.com: CEC Industries B2A Ne 51H Neon Glow Lamp : Tools & Home Improvement 4 x E26/E27 24V DC LED Light Bulbs -...

  9. Searchlight advice

    I’m replacing a non-moving chrome factory searchlight. Was considering the 24V ACR RCL-95 LED (comes with one wired joystick plus a remote). I almost always drive during daylight with occasion nights on the hook so searchlight would be rarely used but I truly appreciate the importance of seeing...

    Subscribing to the theory that everything is done for a reason…what are these posts sticking out of the top of the shower doors. I assume these are original all three baths have the same doors .

    So 70 percent of the handrails look o.k. I have a section that the varnish or urethane is peeling off on. Just for kicks I brushed on some Teak oil. The sections were the urethane had peeled off and the wood was white turned basically black. I know teak oil is not the solution, but why would it...

  14. Water Tanks not filling up

    I have a 1981 61' MY model that got extended to 70' cpmy. I went back on the water tank recently and I run out of water ever couple days. I'm not a big water user, so I bought a flowmeter and tracked the amount of water going into the system. It overflowed at 58.9 gallons. This explains...

  17. Delo 100 online?

    Anybody buying Delo 100 through an online retailer? My local DD is crazy priced for the old delvac at $45 per gallon. Oriellys auto parts at $25 seems the best game in town for gallons but I'd prefer 5 gallon pails. BTW just fueled from a truck with offroad at 3.77 gallon, not bad.

    Struggling a little bit. I have an Onan 15.0 marine genset onboard my 1994 48’ Hatteras cpmy. The starter for the genset is having trouble engaging the bendix.
