  1. Upgrading Naiad stabilzers to digital controls

    Has anyone upgraded their old mechanical gyro Naiads to the newer digital controls? I'm in the process now and wondered how much improvement was realized.

  2. Hatteras Door Locks

    Not sure this qualifies as a technical question but here we go. My 1976 LRC uses exterior door locks that use a "bit key/skeleton key", with the lock mechanism providing a see through path to the inside. I would like to have locks that limit the breeze and bugs that use these paths. Anyone aware of...

  4. Rope shredding around concrete pillar, help me obi wan

    I have a line midship going around a square concrete piling to keep the boat off the dock so my gangway fits. Dock is floating, found out today that the 3/4" line is getting snagged on the square pillar and bearing all of the weight of an 80K pound boat as the tide lowers. Is there some type of...

  9. Any LRC owned have drawing CED38?

    I thought I had a pretty much complete set of drawings for my LRC, but just discovered that I am missing CED38, referenced by another 32V Drawing. I believe CED38 is a drawing of the DC panel/fuse box in the engine room. From what I can tell the "Parallel solenoid" should be in this panel, but...

    Hey all, my main thru hull Simrad depth sensor quit working. The temp is still reading, so Aimar feel the sensor is bad…. It will be a while until the boat comes out of the water to replace. I ordered a simple Hawkeye unit, with the idea of gluing the transducer inside the boat. This has...

  11. Black sealant between teak on pilot house floors

  12. AC pump trigger workaround

    I'm meeting a friend on his boat, and the AC RW pump is apparently not firing on either unit. I suspect bad triggers, but how can we wire the pump to stay on as a temporary fix in the relay box? Its a mid 80's hatt like ours. Thanks in advance.

  13. This may have been discussed before so I'm sorry... But I have to ask.

    With the loss of Pau Hana in Hurricane Ian, I had a list of unfinished/never started projects that I came across this morning. One of them was to "restore" the shore water connection on the side of the deckhouse, instead of the improv connection thru the starboard engine room vent. While we are...

  17. Cummins 785 and Cummins 903 compatibility

    Hiya Sam’s group! I have a 1970 53 MY with the Cummins 785s / V-370s. They are running ok, but major oil leaks. Stb side is blowing some smoke. I’m contemplating a repower. I believe the Cummins 903 is a very similar block and heads. Curious if anyone knows whether the 903s would be a...

  18. Anyone know what the purpose of these 6' long cabinets might be?

    There are 2 of these near the aft door. 6' long, 3' high, about 4" wide. Has a latching door on each. I don't really want them but don't want to get rid of something that has a specific purpose. Any ideas of why these are on my boat?

    Last year I went through the exercise of building a lifting bar to lift a 13' Whaler on to the top deck. I unfortunately flubbed my engineering bending moment calculations and it bent on me LOL. (The issue was a lack of lift height using lifting straps, need about 2' more lift roughly.) So...
