  1. Another Varnish question

    I have always used Petit Captains varnish with good results, but I have heard so many good things about Epifanes that I thought I might give it a try. My question is should I stick with the "Clear Varnish" which is the traditional stuff or try the "woodfinish gloss" which is touted as being made...

  2. Windows

    I have a 1992 40' Double Cabin. In an effort to stop the windows from leaking, the previous owner had the tracks chalked full. The windows nieither open or has the chalking kept the leaks out. I think I need to replace the windows when I repair the wood damage in my aft stateroom. Any...

  3. Oil Analysis Benchmark

    If you think oil analyses are quick, simple and obvious, and that lab results are consistent and specific to your engine(s), get ready for a rude awakening. I got some real surprises. If anyone can post Detroit Diesel wear standards here I'd love to see them. In 1999 I had an oil analysis...

  4. Using whats around you in an emergency.

    While shopping in a boat stuff store I saw a "emergency pipe repair kit" that made me think. First it was expensive and second it was limited. What would I do if one of the 1 1/2" raw water pipes on my engine burst and I was out to sea. Maybe it was leaking enough to be a pain but needed to be...

  5. 64MY - A different Hatteras?

    Although I have never been aboard a 64MY of the 1970's, it strikes me as a very different design for Hatteras. It is a pilothouse design much like the 53 or 58, but seems more squared off. The house also seems to be much more forward than other models. It is also very different from the 58TC or...

  10. Ugly Green Stuff

    Is there a simple way to get rid of green corrosion on things electrical? I've got an accumulation of the stuff on the bilge side of my transducer. Due to it's location, it's a bit difficult to get at it with a wire brush or other mechanical means. I'm thinking of something like the old baking soda...

  11. Oil Analysis report

    Got these back today. Since these are the first I've ever seen on these engines I have no bench mark. So I thought I would throw it out here to see how they compare. Since both engines were very close. I will post the highest of either engine. Maybe we could get a data base of these for...

  13. Walker Fuel-seps, real or shake oil?

    Exsailor suggested Walker fuel-seps might reduce sooting on the transom. Another friend who has lots of engine experience has had the same result. But, the skeptical chemist in me keeps me from believing these things are anything more than snake oil…. so what is the experience of others with these...

  14. AC Breaker - No Label but Wired

    One of the spare breakers on my AC panel has a wire connected to it. I can't figure out what that breaker controls and the prior owner has no recollection either. Is there an easy way to find out what the wire to the breaker controls since tracing the wire is not easy. It is clearly not a Hatteras...

Alignment is first as I am aware of the inferior horizontal mounts that fail, but mine are different as they look like they...

  17. A Poor old Hatteras

    I am sad to say that today I witnessed a Hatteras in the worst shape of any one I have seen to date. This boat had been torn apart, and was soposed to undergo a restoration, but for the last 10 years has sat in the water with absolutly not one bit of maintenance. The paint had been sanded away...

  18. Cutlass bearings: three questions

  19. Adding cushions to front deck

    I have seen custom cushions added to the front decks of some 53my's to go over the "L" shaped built in seat, and am considering doing so myelf. Not sure as whether to also have a snap on cover that would go on top of the cushions as well, or just store the cushions in the boat when not in use. ...

  20. 50 Amp/30 Amp Lazy Man Question

    As my boat is presently wired, I have a Glendinning 50 amp/ 220 line and a non-Glendinning 30 Amp 110 line. I need to have 50 amps/220 volts when at dock in order to use my air. However, it is more difficult to use the Glendinning to pull in the 50 amp line when leaving the dock and flow it out...
