  1. Risers and elbows.

    OK, I am not a salt water expert for shure. No one would ever change their risers and elbows in fresh water. Now that our 36 Hat is in salt water I am getting paranoid. Every time I start the engines, rusty water comes from the exhausts for about 30 seconds. Folks tell me that you need to change...

I had been running at 2050, and had bumped it up to 2150 as I was fighting the tide and was trying to pick...

  3. Bottom layup

    I would like to find out if anyone knows how Hatteras laid up their boats. After doing work to the bottom of my 58YF it looks to me as if the hull was laid up in a mold and when removed additional layers placed on the bottom. Would that be a good guess as to how it was done? I am also trying to...

    I have a leak under my 7 by 15 fuller portlight in the forward stateroom of my 41 c. I've heard mention of replacing the portlight gasket but when I went to fuller's website I only found the lens gasket. It seems dry around the lens . Is there a gasket in between the portlight and the finish ring?...

  11. Weaver dinghy davits

    Has anyone used these or had any experience with them? I am thinking about them for my 36C. The advantage seems to be that when I am not carrying the dinghy on the swim platform, all the hardware (or most of it) is absent, so I only have to have all that stuff on there when I am actually carrying...

  12. Listing to Starboard

    Kismet has developed a 3 degree list to starboard that needs to be addressed. Obviously the easiest fix is to determine WHY she is listing, but to date, I don't think I've completely figured it out. The only thing that has changed since the list began is that I moved the large L shaped...

  17. Hynautic Steering Filter Change Tips?

    I had similar Hynautic steering on a couple of my Hatt's, but none have had a filter (to my knowledge) before this one. In the pic below, you can see the white spin-on type filter partially blocked by the cooler for the steering fluid. The filter looks like a typical spin-on oil filter but it says...
