  1. 52 convertible listing to port?

    My new to me 1985 52c is listing to port a couple degrees. Prior owner stated that he removed the very heavy battery bank that was outboard and near the front of the starboard engine. New placement is a strip of 6 car sized batteries in the walkway between the engines and they are closer to...

  2. Radar Location

    Are there any issues with putting a dome radar on the overhang in front of the flybridge? Basically where the search light is, but in the center. It would be on a 9" or so pedestal. It's that or add an arch and put it up high. I realize higher is better, but lower is cheaper.:)

  3. DC voltage conversion

    I am considering converting the DC electrical on my 58YF from 32V to 24V. Anyone on the HOF like to offer any 'lessons learned' or other advise/opinion?? Also, there is a long DC terminal block on the forward bulkhead of my port engine room. I do not have a wiring diagram for this block and I...

  4. Raritan Elegance or Atlantes?

    I finally started building the new forward head (where the dinette used to be) and have decided not to rebuild the vacuflush I had in the old fwd head. By the time I rebuild the pump, seals, water valve and vac switch it will be over $500... I know many have been happy with the Atlantes heads...

  5. Ford Lehman engines in a Hatteras

    I’m looking at a 1976 48LRC. It is equipped with Ford Lehman 120’s. This is the only Hatteras I have seen with these engines. Was this an option or was this done custom? thanks DD

  6. Quick electrical question for you "technical historians"!

    ​Good Morning All: In my search for my next boat, I swore-off two things. As much as I love the big, old, Hatts, I said I would eliminate big thirsty complex engines with multiple turbos and 32VDC Systems. So, here's the question....how do I know which sizes, years and models have 32VDC...

  7. New Davit Question

    Unfortunately when we purchased Benedetto it did not have a davit. It had been removed at some point however the 4” standpipe remains and is in good condition. I don’t want to be cheap but I don’t want to spend excess money on a davit. I’ve looked at some used davits and one might be a player. It’s...

  8. NEW TURBO Source

    Need to replace two Turbos on my 8V92TI's. Turbo housing "lip" where clamp connects it to exhaust collector/mixer is corroded. Any recommended suppliers - no core returns as my location makes core return economically unfeasible. Dieselpro has "NEW" ones online- but they can't confirm country...

  9. Splash Guard Access

    So, my 1972 43 foot double cabin had some damage done to her in a windstorm, before they pulled her out for the season. The starboard side splash guard needs to be replaced. My mechanic is unsure on how to access it, thinking that it is bolted through from the inside. It appears the gas tanks are...

  11. Stabilizer installation question.....

    Were all 53's reinforced when built where the stabilizers would mount whether so equipped or not? The 53MY I was on today had a pretty solid FRP "box" in the engine room which still had the mounting bracket of the fin on it. It looked like it was done at birth.... (fins and rest of system had...

  13. Air handler freezing up

    Any idea why one air handler on our master stateroom would ice and not the other? Both are on the same compressor and seawater flow is good. I will mention that the last time we tried to use them as a heat pump the valve would not shuttle and it just cooled. The system was working well for weeks...

  14. Old Exhaust Shower Head

    Below is an exhaust mixer elbows off of my starboard engine that I removed several months ago while working on one of my turbos. Obviously it has seen better days. I suspect the others are in about the same condition. At the time, I looked around for a set of replacements and was finally...

  15. Sealing a Leaking Strut Fastener

    1972 43' DCFB: I located a very slow leak at a nut, where it attaches to a though-hull bolt, which is at at attachment for a strut. Although slow, it accumulates 2-3 gallons over a weeks time. Took a long time to spot it! So for the time being, I was able to seal it by wrapping standard...

  16. Headliner in a 2008

    Has anyone removed the headliner in a newer hatteras? There is surprisingly little info (or videos) describing how to remove and reinstall. I am asking as I want to change some wiring without having to pay someone else to remove the headliner. It would have been nice if removeable panels were...

  17. exhaust hose

    I'm concerned about the age of a rubber exhaust hose on my 1976 42-foot convertible. Is there a rubber hose from the back of the muffler to the fiberglass exhaust tube? It would be between the fuel tank and the hull, so maybe I need to cut the deck to change it. Anyone encounter this issue?...

  18. Loss of steering at the lower helm

    Went to use Benedetto the other day and had no steering at the pilot house helm. Fly bridge worked as advertised as well as the A/P. It’s hard to tell the fluid level in the reservoir but it might be low. There is less then 10psi on the gauge so there’s that as well. What’s weird is, no extra fluid...

  19. KVH or Intellian?

    Time to upgrade, but which brand is better bang for the buck and which size dish? We have an old KVH M5 that has been upgraded but is now on its last legs. We want to get Dish network.

  20. Trip to Keys

    I am planning a trip to the keys during spring break (March 16th). I'll be coming from Melbourne, down the ICW to at least Stuart. What's the best route from then on? Also, if conditions are good, isn't the ocean back pretty economical with the Gulf Stream?
