  1. Rust on stainless (cleats, fittings, etc)

    I've used Colinite Metal polish on some of the stainless fittings on the front deck (cleats, etc). They looked great for a few weeks but are not starting show moderate surface rusting. The fittings I didn't clean are still fine, although they could use cleaning. Is there something I should...

  2. Out with the old......

    Yanked the 4 8V batteries (one with a bad cell) out today. They actually were not as heavy as I thought they would be, which means there's less lead in there which means they were not the best and that's why they only lasted 4 years. (Plus the murderous charging profile compliments of the Sentry)...

  3. Generator fuel line pickup

    1973 38’ FBDC - Is the generator fuel line pickup in the port tank higher than the engine pickup? The generator is not getting fuel from a tank with about 1/4 full. Engines work fine.

  4. Captain Billy Black and his 50 Hatteras

    I randomly found this YouTube video about Captain Billy Black who was the ‘house’ captain for almost 30 years at Walker’s Cay in the Bahamas. One thing that really stood out is that he repowered from the original 8V71’s after 60,000 hours (not a typo) which he estimates as 600,000 nautical miles! ...

  5. Adding 3rd 30 amp service

    I am in the process of enclosing the aft deck so it can be air conditioned. It will only be used while at the dock. The current AC inlet powers 2 self contained (16K ,9K) units. Pedestal setup is 50 splitter into 2 30amp and it has an unused 30 amp socket. Can I just run a separate 30amp cord...

  6. 70 Motoryacht - Mechanicals under the Floor

    I am in the process of searching for a new used Hatteras MY in the 60-70 range and have inspected several already, all of which were late 1980s boats. We love the layouts, old classic lines, and of course the quality of construction these boats have. My concern on all them so far has been...

I have 2 small 2 1/2" red canisters of sort at each tank which I am assuming are the Tank monitors. They are labeled "PAR HYDRO-AIR" and have a cooper tube out the...

    Just a shoutout for the nice folks at Teakdecking Systems. They’ve officially “closed” their factory retail store in Sarasota, but Eric is still there, and happy to sell to local folks walking in. Random lengths of teak, silane caulk, their invaluable reefing hook (best 20 bucks I ever spent), and...

  17. 1988 Paint Question

    What brand on paint was used in 1988, and is the non-skid the same paint with an additive or is it "non-skid paint". I'm getting ready to re-paint the non-skid surfaces and gleaning information. I have repaired gel coat boats and used acetone, for cleaning and prep, but not sure on a Hatteras.

  18. Prop calculator, 4 blade versus 5 blade

    Can any members compare these two propeller sizes and tell me if they are roughly equal? 27x30 4 blade compared to 22x26 5 blade. as soon as the extra blade is added to the equation it seems all bets are off for comparing them from the info I've found. .
