Have a 1965 Hatteras. I love the boat, getting tired of the projects, but you all know that. Got a letter from Hagerty, saying they will now require a new survey to continue insurance. 1- Where do the classic Hatteras owners insure their boats? 2- Anyone knows a good marine surveyor in...

Any ideas on how to service exhaust manifolds and risers from the 60's? I might have a tiny crack not visible to the eye that is leaking water from the water jacket into the manifold, into the cylinder

This thread is for anyone familiar with the 426 Chrysler gas engines. For ones that are not familiar here are the basics: Water pump has 2 impellers in separate sections of the pump housing, one feeds the thermostat, the other goes to the trans cooler. There is a separate intake hose for each...

My new stereo works great when I am at the docks. But while under power, it frequently looses power. I moved all the wires around a bit when we got back to the slip, but it did not loose power. Any Ideas?
