  3. Adding fluid to Hynautic steering (48YF)

    I assume I have Hynautic steering as there is a cylindrical reservoir with a sight glass and pressure gauge. My question is where to add fluid? The bicycle valve is threaded into a large (7/8?) nut but that is all there is on the top. I tried loosening the nut and the valve but both were extremely...

  4. Installing Power to TVs

    I have been installing TVs in the staterooms and trying to figure out the best way to get power to them. The master television is mounted on a swing arm in front of the closet. I was planning on using the power to the closet light, but that may be harder than running power from the A/C unit. Same...

  5. 8D versus 4D

    I am getting ready to replace the house bank. Three 8 D's. Want to go with Deep Cycle. Having a Interstate guy tell me Interstate doesn't make 8 D's no more. Saying the 4 D is a better battery and litter. Understand them not weighing as much but can they be as strong as 8D's. Also have a...

  6. Larger Props For Efiency And Engine Life When Running Big Engines Slow

    Our boat is a 1985 61' MY powered by 2 12V71TI 650HP @2300 RPM Originally it had a top speed of 18kts. To do that speed it required every bit of HP to get it up on some level of plane and you couldn't back off much at all before it fell back into the hole. Running the boat that way for me made no...

  8. Galley Maid Windlass removal

    Edit: This is an on going project that aims to repair balsa core rot under the pulpit. We've been to this well many times here, and the question I have is simple. It is a model BBHH-12-5-1/4 that all of a sudden turned into a rust ball. I have a feeling this is due to all of the rough water we...

  9. Hatteras 45C vs Viking 45 (88-92)

    At the risk of starting a one-sided brush fire, I'd like to know what the forum would say in an honest comparison of the Series II 45C with a similarly "experienced" Viking 45. I've been dialed in on the Hatt because I'm sure it is superior in a heavy sea but the creature comforts and reduced fuel...

  11. Naiad lower seal replacement

    Today I was able to replace both lower seals on my Naiads. It was a pretty easy job with help from Mark (Airpilot). First we pulled the fins: Then we pulled off the seal retainers and the seals. The trick here is use a dry wall screw to get a grip on the seal and then pull them out with a...

  12. ZF Gear: No Oil Pressure

    I'm stumped. Please help if you can. Portside ZF BW250 marine gear (behind 12V71tic) has operated normally throughout ownership. Three weeks ago, the oil line from the gear to the mechanical ER gauge sprang a leak. I shut it down and removed the hose. There was some oil flowing freely from...

  14. new wheels

    We ended up going with Veem Conquest propellers, 21x21, moderate cup, four blades. But them on today- immediately noted that the boat is much smoother, and that midrange speed significantly improved. I have not done full power runs yet, to make sure she is not overpropped, but the early indications...

  15. Stainless Bolt Seized in Aluminum

    Trying to dismantle a Marquipt Sea Stair boarding ladder that has been together for 33 years. The old 5/16" stainless machine bolts are threaded into aluminum and are cold welded, or seized, or whatever, they just do not move. Now that I have rung one off, I decided to ask if there are any...

  18. What are acceptable charges from a diesel mechanic?

    I had a mechanic come to my boat to work on the engines and generator. The guy did a really good job and was very personable. When I got the bill though, I was not pleased. It seems he charged $85/hr to drive to and from my house, and also to eat lunch on my patio. in addition, he charged...
