  1. Swim Platform Transformation

    Thought I would post a few pics of the Swim Platform for Boss Lady. We start with the old platform, removing all the old nuts/bolts/screws ect..... and use a grinder to smooth it out and get rid of all the loose paint/gel coat . Next I installed the front edge rail. I used several bar...

  2. Not allowed full speed with 8v71’s whilst surveying

    Hi all, before putting in an offer on a 53my with 8V71’s on board I had an extensive chat with the owner to find out what was and wasn’t on the Hatt that I do have on my current ship. One of my questions was if it was possible during the survey to go full speed for 5 minutes. I got a ‘no, we...

  3. Electronics Question- Furuno FCV 582 Fishfinder

    I have a Furuno FCV 582 color fishfinder on my 43 SX. It was on the boat when I bought it and appears to be an original install. I do not know what transducer I have. At cruising speed, the fishfinder looses the bottom. While this is not a huge deal because I have a backup fathometer, I am...

  5. Hull Drain

    I do not understand the need for a "hull drain" located in the forward bilge of my 1978 37C. I broke the whole assembly loose from the hull trying to open it recently and had to take it out to reseal it. It obviously has not ever been used and I can see why. Most bilges do not drain to this...

  6. Hatteras Owners and the 1510 Club

    Several Hatteras owners and myself have noticed how many Hatteras owners use the forums and are not members of the 1510 club. I would like to remind you folks what a great club the 1510 club is. I have been a member of the club for about three years now and have found the members to be the best...

  7. Using 3 12V batteries in a 32v system instead fo 4 8V's

    I've heard of people with 32V systems convert from 4-8v batteries to 3-12v. Has anyone done this or does anyone have any thoughts? Electrical stuff isn't my strength! Thanks! PS - I have a 1984 52' Hatteras convertable

  9. Front deck hatch with vent

    Like most of the MY's, I have that forward hatch that has the integrated vent. I really don't like having that thing stick up on the front deck. If I need ventilation, I can open it. I don't need a vent. It's just in the way. It would be better to replace it with a hatch that was solid and...

  10. Shakespeare Vs. Digital Antenna

    Getting ready to switch out four VHF antennas on my boat. Reading through the posts it appears my time will be best suited by simply replacing the old antennas and possibly repainting the lower 8' extensions. I am looking for insight from those whom have ventured down this path before on which...

  11. Reduce "station wagon effect"

    Does anyone have experience with reducing exhaust fumes entering the cockpit or aft deck? Many newer boats have exhaust exiting on the sides near the stern and some have deflectors on stern exhausts, directing gases to the sides. Have any of you folks tried converting to these options? The pilot...

  12. Dip Stick Measurement

    Anyone know why when I check the oil on the dipstick on my 8/71 naturals after the engine has been sitting for days, on the first pull the level is always higher than the second check??

  13. Cleaning Walker Air-Sep Filters

    I've got about 100 hours on my Air-Seps. They are not really dirty but I would like to clean them up for the sake of good PM. Walker specifies that only their name brand cleaner should be used. I suspect there are generic cleaners which would work just as well. Anyone have any suggestions or...

  14. Hot Water Heater

    While on generator, my water heater works fine, but on shore power, it trips the circuit breaker. I thought it worked fine at one of the marinas we stayed at on the trip down, but at our home marina, it trips the circuit breaker. The crew had noticed this on the way down here as well. I also just...

  15. Marine Sanitation Hose

    When I change my heads this winter, I will also be replacing the old 3/4" hose from the GalleyMaid pumps with new 1 1/2" hose for the Atlantes. What is the best hose to use? Is the Sealand Odorsafe hose the same stuff as the AVS96 from Australia? If not, which is better?

  16. Oil Change Pump

    I have a few questions about the oil change system on my 43 SX. The pump makes noise but I get no suction--in or out. First, the manual says it's a Groco SPO-80R. Does this thing have an impeller in it that may have gone bad? Also, I am used to some sort of manifold that is used with the pumps. I...

    Greetings! I'm interested in bringing a 54' going against the flow. New Orleans to Louisville. Would appreciate any thoughts (est. time, cost, etc). Looks to be about 1200 miles in total. Heard the Tennessee - Tombigbee is a beautiful trip. Thanks in advance! Chad

  18. Renew dull paint

    My 1978 boat's finish, which is the original Imron I assume, is chalky. And due to an encounter with a dock, needs some paint on the starboard side. I am using Awlgrip paint and will end up painting about half the hull. As for the other half, to renew the original Imron, what should I do? I see...

  19. Who lives aboard (or wants to)?

    I'm just finishing my first year living aboard and have no plans to return to land. I generally love it even on the coldest days. The only hardship is severe cold. Power bills are high for several months. The boat is drafty and there is little or no insulation. You can't heat it to 68 or 70...

  20. Inverter option ?

    Was it normal for a Hatteras to not come with an inverter? or was this something that needed to be added as an option. Was reading the manuals I got from Hatteras on this new 1991 52C , and low and behold. No wonder I could not find it. The manuals do not even mention it has one installed....
