  1. New ER lighting

    I got tired of having to always have a flashlight to work around the ER so I replaced the (5) 48" double tube fluorescent's with (6) 48" 6500K LED bars. It's very difficult to show the difference but wow, totally worth the $65 and two hours spent to do the swap. One benefit to these is each end...

  2. Cruisair heat pump control system problem…I think

    1984 53’ Extended Deckhouse Using the old mechanical Honeywell T6052B thermostats. Previous owner modified the boat pretty extensively and in the process removed the thermostat that I BELIEVE would have been in the galley. The galley and the v-berth systems run off of one compressor. ...

  3. Touching up paint, Awlgrip?

    Saraswati was resprayed with Awlgrip using one of their stock colros (I forget the name)...much whiter than the standard Hatteras white. Looks fantastic, shines almost as nice as fresh paint and it's coming up on 10 years old. I'm really impressed with the durability of Awlgrip. But...the hull has...

  4. Prop and shaft fouling, ouch....

    I hauled out my boat yesterday and found my props and shaft badly fouled with barnacles. The boat was not run since October last year. What is the best and most effective method of removing barnacles? I've seen few boats in the boatyard having applied some Pettit Prop Coat Barnacle Barrier...

  5. Bar rebuild, afromsia, formica, thoughts, questions

    I have removed all of the added cabinet that someone installed next to the bar on my 53ED. Now I am going to have to re-veneer the original cabinet as it is full of screw holes. I will also need to make some trim pieces and replace the some (or all) of the formica on the bar top since it is also...

  6. Chlorine tablets or, How I nearly killed me (and maybe "us"))

    I'm posting this for those that either have the Galley Maid waste treatment systems or who use chlorine tablets for any purpose in the boat's water system. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!!! ONLY use chlorine tablets that are Calcium (or Sodium) Hypochlorite. DO NOT USE chlorine tabs that are...

  8. 12-71 Transmission Oil Change?

    Does anyone have a recommendation on how to change the transmission oil on the 12-71s? Also what is the best oil to use? I have heard that Delo 100 (engine oil) is ok to use.

  9. Thoughts on this Hatteras for sale...?

    Does anyone know about this Hatteras 56' listed on Yacht World? It appears to have some water damage in the aft main deck coming from the ceiling and also from around the aft windows. Some wood rot as well in the area. A survey would defiantly be needed before any serous consideration but if...

  10. Batteries

    Posted on Brian's thread about where to pick up some batteries at a great price. I bought an 8D AGM at Electro Battery for $570. I had to buy one from west marine in Marathon during our Key's trip because we had one go bad. The one if front of it was getting hot so rather than wait I replaced it. ...

First phase started with black granite floor over the aft 6' of the saloon and building the cabinetry for the new galley As mentioned a few weeks ago, this will be a much better layout for us as we spend so much time on the aft deck. Many new boats now have this...

  15. Detroit technician in Annapolis area/Idle speed adjustment

    The idle on my port engine has begun to stick at 900 rpm when pulled back from cruise. If I blip the throttle it still holds 900. I can push the lever on the engine with the big spring attached (buffer spring?) and it will drop to 800. The previous idle was around 600 and would occasionally stick...

  16. Starter Won't Stop

    Beginning to re-think my bad battery bank issue. My batteries go completely dead right after starting, down below 24 volts and to where each battery only reads fractional voltage. They recharge completely to 35 volts after a couple hours. I have something else going on that I am thinking may be...

  17. DD 6-71 TIBs and Delo 100 vs Delo 400 lube oil.

    Do any of you have thoughts on using Delo 400 vs Delo 100 lube oil in Detroit 6-71 TIBs? I've always used Delo 400 and hadn't heard of Delo 100 until recently.

  18. 32 Volt Starting Battery Bank

    I have a battery bank that is about to go. Voltage drops rapidly and stays at 24 volts or more for a good half hour after cranking. They charge back up but the cranking load will bring them down to the point even the parallel switch won't re-start immediately. I have a bank that only starts the...

  19. Vacuflush Pump Cycling

    My Vacuflush pump cycles too frequently. I'd estimate that the pump kicks on about every five to ten minutes even when the head has not been used. Obviously, there must be an air leak. Any suggestions where to start to look?

  20. Simple Prop Removal Tool

    I had props changed at a yard in Sarasota and was amazed to see a guy pop the old props off easily with a big bronze nut device. It was simply a heavy bronze tube with threads on the inside on one end that match the prop shaft and capped on the other end with heavy solid bronze. He took the prop...
