  1. Help with bleeding steering 58LRC

    We are on our maiden voyage from Portsmouth, VA - south. Prior to leaving the yard replaced a section of bad hose on the hydraulic steering system section in the lazarette. It appears they did not bleed the system fully and we are having some issue with steering the boat. Can anyone help? ...

  2. Anyone rigged for a second anchor?

    The majority of large cruising sailboats I've owned have had dual anchor rollers, but I've never seen this setup on a Hatteras. Is anyone using more than one anchor and if so, how do you configure for that? I have a large plow anchor currently installed on the roller, but would like to be able...

  3. Can anyone identify these stainless "trim" rings above the cleats on weatherboards?

    I've seen these (I believe to be stainless) trim rings above the cleats on a few LRC's. I like the way they look and would like to add something similar to my 58. Can anyone identify the supplier or have any ideas on how to make them?

  4. Worth going outside the US for refit work?

    I am considering taking our 58LRC down to Guatemala to have refit work done on her. Why? I'm tired of paying for sub-par quality of work here in Florida at $120-150/hr. I'm on the West Coast and haven't had a good experience yet with any of the yards over here. This is a list of potential...

  5. Engine Room temperature

    I'm wondering what others are seeing as temperature in their engine rooms. I will measure mine next trip out. The reason I'm asking is that I am getting a "thermal warning" on my Victron Multiplus inverter, usually after shutting down the engines (after running for a few hours). The engine...

  6. 58LRC - New owner, pending survey.

    After searching and looking at several 58LRC's I have decided to move forward and purchase one of these fantastic older vessels. Pending successful survey (in a few weeks), we look to take ownership by the end of September. I've already spent the better part of a full day going through her,...

  7. Question for 58/65 LRC owners

    Can anyone send me a photo or describe what the cabinets on the far right side of the pilothouse are supposed to look like? Mine our simple open shelves and I'd like to return them to original. Where these pull out drawers or did they hinge on sides? Do they contain file hangers? I...

  8. 32V Starting issue, question

    Today, I had an interesting problem when I went to start the engines (DD 471's). When I push the start buttons, I got a loud click click click from the solenoids on the starters, but neither engine would crank. I noticed the Sentry charger sounding a bit strange. It would come on (hum) for 1...

  9. 58LRC owners - question on bow flagstaff

    Can anyone with a 58LRC tell my what type of "flagstaff" for the bow Hatteras used? Is there a flush mounted socket on the pulpit or a rail mounted staff? The online brochure seems to show a bow rail mounted version but I've seen a picture or two of non-LRC's that have the flush mounted...

  10. Strange issue, tripping 240V GFI

    Today, out of nowhere, one of my 240VAC HVAC systems started tripping the GFI every time I turn it on. Trips, even if I just turn to "START" without running the compressor. All of my (four) HVAC systems a connected to this same breaker/GFI in the pilothouse (58LRC). Only the salon HVAC trips...

  11. Help with these Isolation Transformers (assuming that is what they are)

    I have 2 large boxes in the engine room (see below) which I believe to be isolation transformers as well as possibly voltage boosters/frequency converters. Of all the documentation I have on board, I don't have any information on these. I've attached a photo of the top unit and hope maybe...

  12. Router Bit for moulding

    Has anyone found a router bit to duplicate the drawer edge moulding on 1970's (maybe 80's) vintage drawers? This moulding would be similar to that in the attached photo. By the way, these drawers (shown) are for sale by another Sam's user in the "for sale" section.

  13. Black sealant between teak on pilot house floors

    Hi guys, Today I decided that my pilothouse floors aren't looking too good and started to sand them down in preparation for re-coating with Polyurethane. I noticed that there are a few areas where the black sealant between the planks is missing. Is this black silicone, sikaflex or...

  14. Floscan 236C senders, can they be opened and repaired?

    Has anyone successfully dis-assembled their Floscan senders to diagnose and/or repair them? Are they gear drive or optical? My starboard engine is reading only 2.4v on both fwd and return senders and I think the mechanism inside may be "gummed up" or sticking. Other engine, the senders show...

    I was in the front V-berth this morning an noticed that one of the Fuller Brush portlights was laying on the shelf along with a number of broken plastic latches/hinge pieces. Not the way I was hoping to start the day... We just returned from a 22hr run back north from the Dry Tortugas and...

  16. Allison Transmissions, where is the oil going?

    My Detroits (471's) have Allison transmissions. The Allison transmissions have, ever since I've owned the boat, consumed oil. I'd say they require my adding about 3-4 ounces every 18 hours or so of running time. No a big deal, but I should would like to know where it's going... The oil...

    Looking to build a new starting bank for a 4-71 DD. Existing battery setup is one bank having four 8v195's that is connected to start both engines. I'd prefer not to use the large 8v195's in the new bank and have found a battery recommended by DC Battery Specialists in Miami. I've used this...

  18. Help with locating drive temp sender and/or Yacht safety center problem

    On my 58LRC, I received an alarm on the Yacht Safety Center that says "stbd drive temp", when the engine is cold and hasn't even been running. I does not go away when I start the engine. Clearly there is a problem with the alarm as the drive temperature is at ambient air temperature of about 70...

  19. Bottom paint - 58LRC (How many gallons and approx cost)?

    I saw on another thread that a 58' takes about 4 gallons off paint, but it wasn't clear if that was for one or two coats. I'm guessing only one coat. Also, I've checked a few marinas around here (SW Florida) and they are getting around $100/ft to haul and 2 coats of paint. $580 to...

    Can anyone help me out with this (See photo above). There is a flange (or bracket) that slides along the vertical pole on the bow pulpit. It connects to the teak handrail to secure the rail to the pulpit. I noticed that there is a hole where some sort of bolt or fastener goes in. At first I...
