  3. Engine Surveyors in Newport News Richmond area?

    Good evening all, I would very much appreciate recommendations for a Detroit engine surveyor around Norfolk, Newport News/Richmond area or thereabout. I have researched the forum and found some names but they are either no longer active or moved away. The engines are the real concern here so...

  5. Salon AC evaporator solution

    One of two blower motors in my the salon overhead ac unit, above lower station helm, started to scream (bearings) after a mere 36 years of faithful service. Now that I have managed to remove it, I have a few questions for the group: 1. Does anyone have a source for a new blower motor (near...

  6. Galley Refurb

    We are looking to start a galley refurb this month. I have looked back through all the old related threads. Most were in reference to a larger MY and most had 240v in the galley. Thiis is for our 46c that only has 120v power. So, we want to pull out the old Princess 120v range/stovetop,...

  7. Oil analysis of 16V92

    Well everyone let me hear your thoughts. I have completed sea trial, mechanical and hull survey of a 1999 65' sport fish in Stuart. The sea trial went well, the boat reached 31 knots, port 99.1% and the starboard 100% load. Temps were 187 port, 190 starboard. RPMs were port 2232 and starboard 2207....

  8. Temperature alarm system

    I am in the process of designing a secondary temp alarm system for my 12V71's as I don't trust my aging 12 point Hatteras alarm. Lauderdale Speedometer sold me a couple of 200 degree switches and an alarm. I was originally thinking of how to make the circuit using normally open switches but they...

  9. Adding a Dock Water Connection

    First, we use both dock water and our tank for supply and yes whenever we leave the boat we turn the dock water off even if for a walk. I’d like to add another quick disconnect at the bow for bow in docking. 1. Would it be bad form to use reinforced flexible hose to run to wherever I plan to...

  12. 671 hard start

    Hey everyone. Walt spring we bought a 1977 42c with very low hour (835 and 840) 671’s. Port fires up at the touch of the push button. As for the starboard, I have to either run the block heater for an hour and a half minimum, or crank it while holding down the shut down button to preheat the...

  13. Salon Floor Replacement

    So for my winter project we decided to finally get around to replacing the floor in the salon. The old floor was sagging a little in some places and generally had a little more flex than it should. The substructure viewed from the engine room is a hodgepodge of supplemental support, poorly...

  14. Transom tab actuator recess

    Picture is not of my boat, just using a pic from an old 53 in boat yard as an example. I'm thinking this recess wouldn't be too difficult to retrofit to my transom. Instead of reinventing everything just use the design hatteras used on hundreds of boats. Wouldn't look redneck, plus no...

  15. 48MY and 6-71N

    We are looking for our next boat(currently have a Uniflite 42DC), and have zeroed in on the 48MY. We want stabilizers, which limits our choices. I also prefer the 6-71N over the 6V-92TA, which limits things even further. Any ideas on the ratio of these boats produced with these 2 engine choices?...

  17. Rudder packing glands

    As part of my trim tab project I’m tackling everything that’s needed in that area, for the most part. I always swore that the packing gland bases leaked. Not a stream of water but there was always some water and never could find the source. Rudders were last repacked 25 years ago but didn’t...

  18. Generator Water Flow

    I am having very little water flow on the generator in my 1985 Hatteras 53 ED. Strainer was cleaned recently. Could there be a priming issue? Any ideas on how to get the water flowing. It is just a small trickle of water. Thanks

  20. Non hydraulic trim tab right angle drive

    Maybe my boat is one of very few ever built with a fully mechanical trim tab actuation, but I'm wondering if anyone knows about this system before I begin to remove the port right angle drive that has failed. The system is an Insta Trim product, I believe. The original motors were marked...
