  1. Hynautic Steering - Need Advice

    Our flybridge steering unit is leaking like a sieve again. Pools of steering fluid in both forward corners of the flybridge. It just runs right out the center of the shaft. My mechanic tells me it's not a user-serviceable unit and that if it's leaking that bad I need to disconnect it and send it...

  3. Vetus Bow Thruster

    My 12 year old Vetus bow thruster is not working. I have proper 26v across the unit but it won't turn. The prop turns the shaft freely. Prior to stopping, the unit ran with diminishing thrust for a couple of years. So the tech's conclusion is that the motor needs new brushes and windings. ...

  5. Looking for fuel tank senders - 1978 Hatteras 58 Cockpit Motor Yacht

    Hey Folks, I'm looking for three fuel senders for our 1978 Hatteras 58 Cockpit Motor Yacht. I did some googling but it looks like the number of options is large and the ones that would work and fit are very small. I was hoping someone has already done this successfully and could share part...

  7. Cap or hand rail replacement

    Hello everyone. Have any of you used the plastic or fake wood material commonly used in house decking to replace the cap or hand rails? How did it turn out? Does it look or feel cheap? Is there a high gloss version to mimic a nice varnish job?

  8. Oil leak at crank pulley retaining bolt

    I took off both crank pulleys some years ago to replace the front crank seals. Not an issue and all went back together fine and dry until now. The crank pulley retaining bolt didn't have any type of gasket under the washer on either engine. Didn't give it a thought then but now I assume the...

  9. What do you wish you knew before you got a davit system?

    Our 54' Hatteras has no davit. I want a dinghy, if for nothing else, to get street cred as I putter down the ICW. We are flexible on time as I don't think it will become a true pain point until next year when we can hit the Bahamas. What do you wish was different about your davit? We have a...

  10. Nameplate for 86 45C

    The Hatteras nameplates on my 86 are pretty corroded and crappy looking. I've tried searching the SAMS site to no avail. Anyone know if replacements are readily available?

  11. Turbo Blankets for sale

    A fellow HATTERAS owner purchased these only to find out after rebuilding the motors they were the wrong size. He paid over 250.00 for each and wants to get 200.00 for each. I’ll add a few photos. For more photos send me a private message and I’ll text them to you. Thanks.

  12. 903 heat exchanger”radiator” fitting for cap damaged.

    It is cut all most completely off at the surface of the steel tank. Recommendations range from epoxy, silver solder or brazing. Everyone wants tank removed. Fifty year old bolt removals seems like a nightmare of problems. I’m thinking of connecting the fitting to the plate off the boat and then...

    Hello All, After much research I reached this forum as part of my decision making process in possibly purchasing a 1971 Hatteras. I recently sold our 1974 Egg Harbor after several years of trying to keep up with the wood cabin and window issues; the boat had potential but more work than I...

  16. Hand Rail Refinish Question

    So IOLANI is in dire need of handrail refinish. The marina where we keep her moored in the summer is not really conducive to a lot of noise and dust from power tool scrapping /sanding. The marina that has her up on the hard has strict rules which prohibit any sanding or painting unless you use...

  17. Oil Pressure Gauges Only Working in Engine Rooms

    The oil pressure gauges at both our pilot house and flybridge helms only rarely come to life. The ones mounted inside the engine room doors work as expected 100% of the time. Before I go down another rabbit hole, is there any chance that's a well known issue with a common fix? All the other gauges...

    Well its been at least 5 years and it's time. Has anyone used a pair of 16V Racing Battery to make their 32V starter banks? https://www.jegs.com/i/XS-Power/703/XP1000/10002/-1 Should be more Crank amps than golf cart batteries? AGM are also an option.

  19. Intermittent Bennett Trim Tabs

    I was having some issues with my boat planing when I first got her and narrowed it down to a couple of things including the trim tabs not going down. It seems sometimes they do and sometimes they dont when using the switch at the helm. If I jump the terminals at the pump, down in the lazarette,...

    I have always had a bad smell in the center ac drain sump box. I decided to replace pump, hose, lever, and clamps and investigate. I found a big glob of failing silicone under the pump and lever. After vacuuming as much of the solid black water out of the old holes, I am looking to repair. I...
