Some genius put a 110V water pump in my 53MY before I bought it. Works great when there's A/C but I don't usually run the genny at night or while cruising and my inverter won't handle the startup surge required by the 110v pump motor. It looks like the best and least expensive way to fix this...

Pascal, Great pics of your ER bulkhead on the inverter posting. How do you do that? Do you have to have a server on the internet to post them to? We could see that guy doing his rebuild or post "what's this" pictures. Doug

have mid 70's 46 convertible repowered with 660 hp cats. any evidence that 3" wide lift rails approx. 18' long from the transom forward (ie smartrails) will increase lift and increase hull speed by several knots? wondering if experiment worth the investment? anyone successfully do this? see claims...

We plan to renew the interior wood finish on our 53MY and are trying to determine the best product for that. THe original Hatt owners manual for the boat states that DuPont 740C was the original product used on the interior wood. 740C was later reformulated to 740S. However, I cannot find ANY...

I'm planning to take the 53 to Chicago this summer, maybe late July. It's been 15yrs since I was there by boat, but I feel like it's time to take the kids to Shedd's and the Field Museum, etc. Any suggestions on reservations? It looks like I can't make them until May. I'll be coming from...

I was hoping to hear from Genesis about a Vickers Pump, I have an old Hatteras that I work on when when I can But I have been driving all the new Hatterases, 54,60,65 Convertibables

I would like to get input, insight, experience, bullshit, etc. on electrical systems. This past summer I purchased a 41' 1967 Hatteras twin cabin it has 2 50 amp 120 volt shore power inlets. 1 is for the main panel the other is for the AC units. My question is what system is best or more common in...

I'm considering purchasing a boat with 6v92's, I've been told they are a pair of special "blueprinted" 565 Hp. engines.They have only 822 certified hrs and will be thouroughly surveyed by an expert prior to purchase. My question is what can I expect in the way of longevity,maintenance problems and...

I was checking on my boat this weekend prior to the snow, when I noticed that a crane was over at the Channel Club. They're redoing the haulout well for the TravelLift. It looks like they're going from 17 to 20 feet wide. It also looks like they're making it longer as well. It pays to have the...

I have a 1979 43c with 6v92TAs. On 4 of the last 100 or so starts, the port engine would not turn over and the starter solenoid clicked, as when there is low voltage. In all 4 cases the engines were warm or hot. When I hit the battery parallel switch, the engine turned over and started as normal....
