  1. Perko sea strainers / replacement or rebuild

    I need to replace 4 strainers. After 33 years they are in need of service. The 4 are located in my genset hole. 2 larger ones for the Genset and heads and 2 smaller ones for the raw water pumps for the a/c compressors. Cost wise it is better to replace than rebuild. Any reason to not replace with...

  2. Paint colors

    Looking to do some paint touchups, and repaint a couple of pieces, the deckboxes, etc... Not sure what to make of these paint codes, my understanding is that the boat is repainted with Awlgrip, but these paint codes don't line up with anything I have found color wise? The second pic is a note...

  3. Rudder Shaft Stuffing problems 1987 40DC

    Hi All, I'm attaching a photo of my boat's biggest problem.The rudder hadn't been repacked for a long time before I bought it. Now it's real ugly. I can no longer tighten it to stop it from leaking.The access is not good. I think I can remove the bolts, but judging by how long it took the mechanic...

  4. Dripless Shafts

    Are dripless shafts a must have? The boat I am looking at has packing glands instead of Dripless shafts. Is it a deal breaker? Thanks!

  5. 120V Service line at 60V

    I just tried to run 120V 30amp service to our 53 my. In Service Port 1 it comes in as 120V. In Service Port 2 (both Port and Starboard) it comes in at 60V. This is fed from the same connection and line. Also tested on different 120V source. I have never used 120V 30amp before. I...

  7. Valve cover Data

    I have a 1988 41C, 6V92. I was under the impression these were 550hp. I thought that was pretty much the only configuration they put in these boats. Looking at my rocker arm covers, it say the motor is 332HP @2300. IS this correct, did these ever go in these boats? According to the last...

  9. Port Gear Shifter will not engage forward

    My port gear shifter on my 1987 Hatteras 54' stopped responding in the midst of docking - will not stay forward - "spongy" to the touch. Shift lever simply reverts back to neutral position. Same for both helms. Have noticed some oil leak around the lower helm gear shift station - apparently from...

  12. Silicone impellers

    Just wanted to pass on the extremely poor service that I received from pumpvendor.com. I bought two of the silicone impellers for the Detroit diesel and sent them back because they were so hard I couldn’t collapse the veins to fit it into the housing. They did everything they could to say that it...

  13. 43DC Upgrades and renovations?

    There seems to be a handful of us on here that own 43DC’s. Mine is a ‘79 Hull #510. She seems to be mainly original other than electronics and aft deck enclosure. I would like to do some galley and head renovations. Maybe even the salon. I do have the forward day head with dinette. What...

  14. Eliminating toilet circuit boards

    Both toilets on my boat came with electronic circuitry to trigger the fill/ flush cycle. A Jabsco and a Vetus brand. The Jabsco failed after a year and the Vetus lasted about 4 yrs Instead of shelling out several hundred $$ for replacement switches, I was able to connect an “on off on” rocker...

  16. Twin Disk Gearbox leaking oil at coupling--is there room?

    My starboard gearbox has started flinging oil out of the coupling joint. it looks like the outer seal is not leaking. I suspect the inner flat rubber O-ring ("Lathe Cut Ring" M2074S) is the culprit. Does anyone know if I have room to service this without dropping the propshaft or lifting out...

  17. Vertical Wind Turbine?

    I saw that this question was asked in 2010 with no answers, and now I'm also looking for an answer. The question is if anyone has experience or done research on a vertical wind turbine on a Hat. I don't like the typical horizontal wind turbines you see on many sail boats, but it looks to me like...

  18. Help with these Isolation Transformers (assuming that is what they are)

    I have 2 large boxes in the engine room (see below) which I believe to be isolation transformers as well as possibly voltage boosters/frequency converters. Of all the documentation I have on board, I don't have any information on these. I've attached a photo of the top unit and hope maybe...

  19. Leaking windows and impact on hull

    looking at a mid 1990s boat that had windows that leaked over its life and needs some wood refinishing. Are the cored hulls sealed well at the window openings? or is the hull suspect. I have not decided to pass on the boat but thought I would ask for advice.
