  6. Alternators Indicates Over Charge

    My starboard volt gauge consistently shows charging right at about 30 volts. The port side indicates about 26 volts. The needle is sitting on the white tick mark just before the red area on the gauge. It is that way on both gauges so I’m going to assume it’s accurate. What are the hazards of...

  7. Beneficial to have a camera pointed at the props?

    We are beginning the install of a pile of underwater lights and 1 camera in the next week or so. One of my buddies made the comment that I should put a camera pointed at each prop. While that sounds like a great idea, to be able to check out the props for debris, lines...etc sounds like a great...

    Anybody ever use an airless sprayer for bottom paint? I'm thinking about trying one of the handheld units. A guy on another forum says he uses his wagner all the time.

  10. Price to straighten shafts, new shafts ?

    Got a quote to inspect and straighten 2" shafts at (EDIT) $44 a foot. My shafts are about 10 feet, so $440 per shaft. Plus another fee to install and true up coupling. Done at shaft/prop/strut specialty shop, so I presume good quality work. Does this sound like the going rate? What would a new...

  14. Geny Oil Viscosity?

    Changing the oils for the first time on all power plants. For the Onans 20KW and 8KW the manufacturer's recommendation is different from Hatteras's of a straight 40w. I'm using Shell T1 40W for both DDs. Can/should I use the same or pick the temp rating recommendation from Onan and use that?

    Hello All, Any information or suggestions on where I could find out the original "white" hull and topsides color for the 1964-68 50' FDMYs? Does anyone know for sure if they even painted back then or was it just gelcoat? Thanks, MarTex

  18. Generator Fuel Supply

    We have two generators installed on our 1989 Hatteras 60MY. The 20kW is placarded #2 and the 8KW is #1. The 8 might not have been original because it was never hooked up to the oil pump out selector port labeled Gen #2. I can’t tell which fuel tank feeds which gen anybody know. Hatteras is closed...

  20. Return line on bilge pump check valve

    I have these black lines that run from the check valve back to the sump/bilge all over the boat. They don't make sense to me as quite a bit of water goes through them back to the sump only to be shot out by the bilge pump a second time. Does anyone know why they are engineered that way?
