  1. gfi replacement

    The factory installed GFI which services my galley and head occassionally trips for no apparent reason. I can't find anything in the wiring so I think its just an age thing. I know these don't last forever, and after 25 years I'd like to replace it. Question: can I just install an off the shelf GFI...

  2. winter battery maintainance & solar panels

    Wondering if anyone has any experience with using solar panels to trickle charge batteries during the winter months? It gets really cold here in Canada and rather than lug the batteries off the boat I have four small solar panels (bought on sale) I'm thinking of attaching to my four batteries to...

  3. window frame restoration advice for 36' sedan

    folks, I have black anodized (aluminum?) window frames on my 1986 Hat 36 sedan that are now quite faded, but the surface is still in good shape. Is there anything I can put on them to bring them back to life, either turning them black again, or maybe some kind of paint ? Thanks . John. M/V "at last"

  4. engine room paint color

    My Hatt has factory "grey" in the ER, but I've noticed many of the pics on the HOF show white walls & floor in the ER. I like the white look and its likely very easy to see any leaks, spills etc .. but is it hard to actually keep it that white? Is the ER color it just a matter of preference, or...

  5. Unhappy which bottom paint should I use?

    I suspect this may open a can of worms, but here goes. My freshwater Hatt (Great Lakes) has an epoxy barrier boat with Interlux VC 17 on it. I'm getting the boat ready to do the Great Loop which means changing the bottom paint for one that works in salt water. In talking with Interlux, nothing will...

  6. Advice on "lifelines", cockpit sunshade

    Hi folks. I'm in the process of getting my '86 Hat 36 sedan ready to take on the great circle loop next summer. There will be lots of walking around the boat going through locks etc and having "lifelines" along side decks would be desirable from a safety standpoint. Has anyone seen this done...

  7. Question '86 36' Sedan trim tab replacement

    I broke off the port trim tab and actuator and am looking for a part / model number to order a replacement. They are Bennett tabs. Have spoken with both Bennett and Sams and we have not yet been able to identify the exact tab required. Anyone on the forum with a mid 80's 36' Sedan or Convertible...

  8. lightning protection

    I'm heading to Florida next winter which I am told has more lightning strikes than other areas of the US, and I am wondering if Hatteras built any lightening protection into their boats in the mid 1980's. Forum searches reflect multiple threads where the whole issue of lightning protection is...

  10. what is this ? Trim tab stuff?

    Here I go again showing my lack of knowledge as I figure out the boat .... the attached picture shows a black box with an opaque bottom section located at the stern of my lazarette.

I am currently on the loop and will be arriving in Fort Myers within the next week. Can anyone recommend a good technician to repair it while I am docked at Legacy Harbour. Many...

    My engine room access panel in my salon floor is quite heavy, awkward to lift out to check my engines, and its a pain to put it somewhere while I head down below. Has anyone tried putting this panel on hinges, with gas assisted struts to help lift/lower and keep it open? Perhaps the bigger boats...

    Bought an 86 36' Hatteras Sedan this summer, and then noticed the holding tank indicator light in the head area indicating it was 3/4 full did not seem to operate. The tank must have been pretty fully as the season went on so I had it pumped out. Now the light is on and won't go off. I had it...

    Can anyone help me identify the type of transmissions I have in my 86 36' Hatt?. The engines are factory installed Caterpillar 3208 turbos rated at 320 hp.
