The fire suppression tanks on my 50C are rusted away at their bases. They need replacing or a new system needs to be installed. Anyone have suggestions on what to do? What kind of tanks they are? Or what would be a good replacement system? Thanks for any help.

Hi all, i'm looking at a 1988 38 convertible with 671's i absolutely love the size and layout of the boat. the interior needs some freshening and electronics need upgrades but overall in good shape. what's the good, bad, etc i should know about this model? what is fuel burn at cruise...

I'll probably change these any way, but thought I'd get others' thoughts. When I first bought my 48MY 9 years ago, the fuel system was dirty enough that I experienced unexpected shut downs. I added vacuum gages to avoid surprises and get ahead of the issue and now I guess it is pretty well...

I recentky bought a 1988, 38 hatteras with the J&T 6-71 TI engines. The port side works just fine. The starboard however does not cross 1600 rpm. I have check all the fuel filters, blown out the fuel line from the tank with a compressor and cleaned the intercooler but nothing helps. The temp and...

To recap, the salon compressor was freezing up as well as both the air handler evaporator coils that were powered by that one compressor/condenser. This tuned out to be mostly because one of the two handler fans was not functioning. Freed up the stuck fan and the situation greatly improved. Now...
