  2. Sliding salon windows on a 67’

    Looking for advice on opening salon sliding windows. I have scrubbed channels, vacuumed channels and siliconed all areas, inside and out; do not want to force open for now. It appears they have never been opened/exercised in many years. Inside screens slide very well.jh

  3. Oil samples??

    How accurate are these? I'm not so sure. Both my engines got flagged for x, y, and z earlier this year. Changed oil to mechanics recommended Chevron Delo 100 (had been using the NAPA oil) and took samples 35 hours or so later. Most of that time ran at 1800-1900. Suddenly they are "healed and...

  4. Repower in Baytown

    Came across a thread recently that I can't find now. I'm looking for the owner of a Hatteras currently in Baytown that's being repowered with Cummins engines. Nothing sketchy - I'm in Baytown and just looking for a fellow owner.

  6. Exhaust Riser Tank mounted directly above DD 871...has anyone replaced???

    Hi Guys, I'm considering a 1972 53MY with 871's and the original exhaust riser "tanks" mounted right over the engines. My broker was kind enough to alert me to the danger of water getting into the engine should the tank "fail". Has anyone had these modified and can you tell me the cost to...

  7. Turning off all batteries with Perko knobs

    I have never done this before but so I wanted to ask the pros for advice. First my boat is bone dry and doesn’t leak anywhere. The bildge pumps are wired directly to a bus bar to the battery power. Should I turn off all breakers for the batteries one at a time or turn the perkos to the off...

  9. Allison Transmissions, where is the oil going?

    My Detroits (471's) have Allison transmissions. The Allison transmissions have, ever since I've owned the boat, consumed oil. I'd say they require my adding about 3-4 ounces every 18 hours or so of running time. No a big deal, but I should would like to know where it's going... The oil...

  11. Time For New Batteries

    Marine electrician just left the boat and he thinks our problem is the batteries (and possibly the charger). Kind of what I figured TBH. I know this is opening a whole can of worms, but what's the current thinking on new batteries for these old 32v girls? Our M.O. is to start the generator...

  15. Electrical Panel - Generator Switch Headache

    Among the problems I'm currently dealing with is this thing: The last time I used this generator (about two months ago now), the switch fell off in my hand. I tried everything I could think of to get it back on the mounting post, but it just spins free in either direction. I assumed the...

I had my mechanic come over, he is also an electrical contractor for boats, and he tested everything from the starters to the cables to the batteries and charger. The motors...

The led unit is a Sylvania 4” Rugged Round LED Pod, as they call it. It’s 2100 lumen...
