  1. Wiring the Fuel Pressure Switch to the Hobbs Hour Meter

    Preface - I'm not a DC wiring guru and if you throw a switch in there, I'm a little more useless. I am, however, pretty good at replicating what was there which has worked well for me over the years. I understand AC wiring way better. That said, I need some help with reconnecting the wires...

  2. Morse Cable lengths for Series I 58' MY

    Does anyone know for certain, i.e. having done it, how long each of the morse cables are for a 1980 58' MY (not the YF). I'd like to replace all of mine and use the old cable to pull the new one through. Measuring with accuracy, as you can imagine, would be quite difficult, so I'm trying to take...

  3. What is the proper location for the tee fitting in the wet exhaust?

    Ed and I are going to replace some of the exhaust hoses while we're replacing all of the morse cables. One engine is simple-looking and the other is a cluster-f*&k of what appears to be too much hose curled all over the place and we'd like to clean that up and reduce some of the unnecessary hose...

  4. Trash Compactor

    I am about to start my galley remodel, having just ordered new cabinets, some of the appliances, etc. In the plans, I have a trash compactor going in. I’d like some opinions/recommendations on trash compactors from those of you who have some history with them either on your boat or in your home. ...

  5. What light fixtures are you using when updating with new headliner?

    I am beginning to tackle the job of replacing the headliner. I intend to use removable panels that are covered in a thin foam-backed vinyl. While I’m in there, I want to start replacing the overhead lighting fixtures, and I’d like to go with recessed dimmable LED lights. There isn’t a lot of...

  6. 32v bilge pump switch

    I know everyone hates the Rule Super Switch. That said, I've had pretty good luck with them. In the past 10 years, I've only had to replace two of them and they had been on the boat for some number of years before I bought the boat. Due to all the negativity I've read about these switches, I am...

  7. Insulation

    I am going to, in the not too distant future, start planning to replace the headliner. Mine is the original perforated headliner and I want to put in new panels that are easily removable, with batton strips, and a solid material. This will also afford me the opportunity to update the ceiling...

  8. Removing Slider Window Frames

    Ed and I have searched for the forum, and read all of the applicable threads, and we are stuck. We are trying to remove a window frame that has proven to be the one of two sources of leaking water down inside the aft deck wall and into the master stateroom below. We can’t fix the interior teak...

  9. Micron 66 - how many gallons....?

    Does anyone know approximately how many gallons of Micron 66 I need to coat the bottom of a 58' Hatteras (15' 10" beam)? The specs say one gallon will cover 320 square feet, but I've never had to measure my hull for square footage of the surface that is underwater. I plan to do two coats and a...

  10. New, Custom Mattresses!

    Other than the master stateroom, which is a standard queen mattress, the other six beds on the boat are the original 36-year-old foam mattresses. So, I thought I'd give mattress-making a try. I am so impressed at just how nice these mattresses turned out that I had to share them with you. I...

  11. Heat Exchanger/Radiator Anatomy

    Calling all you Detroit breathing/bleeding gurus.... The heat exchanger/radiator "box" on the front of my starboard engine has to come off and get refurbished. A gasket or two started leaking the last time we went out and the whole thing turned to crap quick. There was salt cakes on the floor...

  12. How many rings of packing for the stuffing box?

    We just had our stuffing boxes repacked. Our guy used the black/gray Gore stuff and he put six rings in the stuffing box. We cannot get it to leak at all, and during our first run thereafter, mostly at idle speed, the stuffing boxes would not drip and they did get warm - about 150°. We didn’t go...

  13. Fuel Pressure Switch

    It's maintenance time for my fuel system. I am changing my secondary fuel filter from the original "filter in a canister" to the Detroit Diesel spin-on type which is simply changing the bracket and reinstalling the fuel lines. In the process of removing the pressure switch, it was so old that the...

  14. What would cause a compressor seizure in a brand new AC unit?

    I swear I have the WORST luck with air conditioning! I got a whole three days of running out of a brand new 16K self-contained unit (ran it in cool mode for 1 day, then heat mode for 2 days). Now, the compressor is seized. Everything else is working just fine - fan, pump, digital control,...

  15. Found my first unintentional hole in the hull, below the water line.

    I found my first unintentional hole in the boat, below the water line. It was hot today, so I decided to work on the boat indoors and finish up some little things that have been lingering way too long. I was down in the master stateroom (which is all the way aft) tacking some floor trim back...

  16. Dynaplate

    Has anyone ever replaced their dynaplate? I am wondering if we've been struck by lightening at some point in the past. I have three - two small ones and a big one measuring about 18" x 7". Today I removed the big one to replace it since the original just didn't look right to me. A very few...
