  3. 43 MY tank levels

    I have a new to me 43' motoryacht with the pneumatic level gauges that appear to be working. My question is what numbers do I use as a reference for 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% for the large aft fuel tank, small engine room fuel tank, and the water tank? There is a sticky note above the guage but not...

  6. Prop question 28 x 28 vs 28 x 31

    My understanding is that for a 53MY the stock prop is 28 x 30 As I have posted in a previous post recently I had a bent up prop, and bought some from SKY that are 28 x 28, I got them on and all vibration is gone, and they work great! I just dropped off the bent set to a local prop repair...

  7. Need advice on learning skills for Hatteras living

    We are halfway through our 2-year plan to liveaboard a 53'+ Hatteras. We have already revamped our finances, sold our house, downsized dramatically, and got rid of years of stuff.

  11. AllisonTransmssion Oil Change

    I believe my 53MY has M20 transmissions. I am looking for advice on how to change the oil and filter. I see the drain hose out the bottom do folks pump it out? Does the filter just get cleaned or replaced? How easy is it to remove & obtain? Thanks

  13. 6V-71. Or 6V-92

  15. Bent rod 6v92t

    Pics attached. Bent rod on a Detroit 6v92t. Believe the rubber gasket failed around the coolant channel. The head and block are good. I'm having the one hole redone in the boat. Quite an operation. You can see the coolant on the piston in the bad hole when we pulled the head. Amazing it didn't...

  16. How hard is it to swap out prop's?

    I am picking up a new (used) set of props today. I started talking to the yard manager at my marina and he was trying to talk me out of doing the swap myself. He said the props can be really stuck on the shafts and kind of scared me off doing it myself. Does anyone have experience pulling...

  17. 6v92 cooling flush

    So I drained the coolant, to replace several hoses. It was pretty dark. Not the worst I've seen, but up there. Can I flush this with some detergent, or am I better to just flush with water. Thanks (again)

  19. Fireboy system, 53MY

    I just finished installing a new fire system on my 53. The old CO system was original and beyond servicing. It’s a little tricky on the split ER MYs as you need 3 bottles and 3 shutdown systems.
