  1. Winter Temperature Monitoring

    I stumbled across a very good and inexpensive temperature monitoring system for folks worried about cold and leaks in their boats over the winter. I'm keeping my 53ED at my pier this winter and I avoid the Pink stuff in the engines until I know I can't use the boat any further. I have heaters,...

  2. Outback Inverter Stacking Anyone?

    I have a 53 ED, 32 volt boat and I want to add an inverter(s), primarily so I can have 110v when running the boat without running the generator. I've looked at lots of old posts on this board about various configurations, pass-through, sub-panels, etc. One solution I didn't see is called 'Outback...

  3. Procedure for changing Secondary Fuel Filters

    I have 8V71TIs that still have the canister type secondary fuel filters. I recently read (in a book) that when changing secondary fuel filters you should never 'Pre-Fill' them with new diesel fuel. I suspect this is due to a concern for introducing any dirt or contaminants on that might get...

  4. Stripped raw water pump threads

    I changed the water pump impellers on my 8V71's today and I noted some 'gooey' stuff as well as the normal paper gasket on both pumps. When I replaced the end covers, I realized why. Both pumps had one of the five 1/4" bolt threads stripped. (Not the bolt, but the bronze pump body threads). I...

  5. Hurricane Coming - Line system recommendations

    Given the upcoming storm on the east coast, just wondering if there are any recommendations or resources for secure line placement for those of us who keep their boats in the water. On a similar subject, any experience with the piling mounted systems that compensate for tide changes? Thank you. ...

  6. Allison Transmission Rebuild - Part 2

    I had to pull my starboard M20 for a rebuild. I don't know how many of you have ever sent an Allison to Arcadian Marine Transmissions in Louisiana, so I wanted to include some pictures: They even replace the serial number plate (and include the rebuild date) Now if it works as well as it...

  7. What is it??

    I'm cleaning up the rear of my starboard engine room on my 1983 53ED MY since the exhaust system has been removed for transmission work. In the rear of the starboard engine room there is this rusty metal hockey puck on top of a plastic fitting tlat looks to be through hull. There are no wires...

  8. Generator Replacement / Galley Hatch question

    My next project is going to be to replace the original Kohler (Perkins) generator in my 1983 53 ED MY. I know this has been discussed in some old threads but I have a couple of 'simple' questions: 1) I'm a fan of Northern Lights (20 KW) from other boats I've owned. Is there anything better...

  9. New Owner - 12 volt question

    I'm the new owner of a 1983 Hatteras 53 ED. This is my first '32 volt' boat and I was surprised that when running the boat (without the generator running) that nothing, other than a 12 volt battery, was supplying 12 volts to the navigation gear / auto pilot / radios. I don't like running the...

  10. 8V71 Secondary Fuel Filter Flair Elbow information??

    Hi, Was converting my 8V71TI's old style secondary fuel filters to the DD spin on adapter and I bent one of the brass 90 degree fittings that convert from the flared fuel lines to the pipe threads. (They look like the elbow in this picture): Does anybody have a part number, source, or...

  11. Learn from others stupid errors - Electrical

    I have a 53' MY that lives on my pier. It came with some 13' power cords and 50' power cords. I really needed a 25' cord to go from my pier power to the boat. Rather than spending $400+ for the proper 25 foot, 50 amp 125/250 volt cord, I just connected my two 13' cords using the appropriate...

  12. Salon Power Breaker Location?

    Sorry to bother with a new owner question. 1983 Hatteras 53 ED. I've reviewed all of the original schematics provided but I can't find the source of the 110 power to Salon overhead lights, TV, Stereo. I know they are on 110 Service 1 because if I turn off Service 1 at the AC Switch Panel (port...

  13. 53 ED Speaker Block location

    Trying to revive the galley speaker on a 1983 53 ED. Searched the forum and looked in the Port Engine room but can't seem to find the original speaker distribution block (bus bar). Any other thoughts? Thanks.

  14. 53' ED Salon AC questions

    My 1983 53 ED (Serial #704) has an unrepairable Salon AC unit. My AC guy is going to replace it. (I don't have the resources or time to do chillers...) Anyway, I have a couple of questions that somebody out there may know: 1) The Salon has a split system. The starboard unit (smaller) looks...

  15. Exhaust Pipe Leak

    Hi, I've got a 1983 53'ED with 8V71TIs. I have a water (and I assume exhaust) leak in the engine room from the huge pipe that collects exhaust/water from both shower heads and joins to form an 8" pipe that goes to the main exhaust. The leak is small and is on the inferior side (of course, rust)...

  16. Companionway paint color and type

    And now, for something completely different. The companionway on my '83 ED MY is looking shabby and I'd like to paint it (this includes the engine room doors and access panals). Currently, the color is a very light blue/green. Does anybody know the original color of the companionway (engine room...

  17. Source for mattresses for front bunks

    Hi, I'm looking for a good source for custom (or the odd-shaped) bunk mattresses in the front state room on my 1983 53' ED. I've searched threads on this site, but I don't have the skills to make my own! Thanks. Jon

  18. 8V71TI Secondary Fuel Filter Elements

    I have a 1983 53 ED with DD 8V71TI's. I'm trying to figure out all of the filters and such and even with the V-71 manuals, there are lots of variations. My fuel filters have a Racor primary and an 'non-spin-on' DD secondary (see picture). Anybody know the part number for the secondary filter...

  19. Racor CCV question

    I finally took the plunge and ordered CCV6000s for my 8V71TI's. I am not planning on returning the oil to the engine sump. I'm just wondering how often do I need to drain the units or do I need to hook up a drain tube (+/- check valve) between the units and an oil disposal can? Thanks. Jon

  20. How to remove painted boat graphics (stern name)

    I'm finally getting around to properly renaming my 53' Hatteras. There is a great local firm in Annapolis that does the graphics, but when they came out yesterday to remove the old stern graphics, they discovered that the PO had the name painted on the stern (as was commonly done, years ago). Any...
