  1. Making a Live Well

    There is no live well on my 43 Open. Although I rarely use live bait, I was curious whether I could make a simple live well to use on those rare occasions. I have an idea but I am not sure it will work. I have a 12 Volt raw water pump controlled by a switch that is connected to a Hatteras quick...

  2. Wink 58 foot Hatteras Convertible

    To all of the knowledgeable Hatteras owners, I have a question. I am still looking for a boat to purchase and have located some extremely nice, 58 foot convertibles. I am curious why this particular boat seems to have "the kiss of death" upon them. I had one person that the 58's have a terrible...

  4. Rotate Propellers?

    For the past ten years or so, I have had my propellers sent to S&S propellers every three years for an R&R. Fortunately, they have always been in good shape so no major work was needed. I have a spare set of wheels in the genset room. Is there any need or benefit from giving the set I have used for...

  5. Engine room vent covers

    Currently I'm using bulky old blankets over the screens over the vent openings to freeze-proof the engine rooms. There must be a better way to seal them up for winter yet be able to easily open them up for cruising. Vinyl covers with snaps? Any other ideas?

  6. Replace Crusair air conditioning unit

    The condensing unit on my forward air conditioning unit has failed. I would like to know if a boat owner with some mechanical ability could replace the forward system himself? It appears that I can purchase the whole unit ( 12000 btu ) for less than half what the yard quoted me for just replacing...

  7. 48YF Holding Tank Questions

    The spec sheet says 80 gallon tank and I have located it in the keel between the engines. My newly arrived Owners Manual makes no mention of a holding tank, describing both heads as overboard discharge only. There seems to be a rather complex Sealand pump and seacock assembly aft of the stbd...

  8. 52C Advice

    Finally took delivery of 52C, one of the happiest days...... Only a few small cosmetic issues on survey, but, being Mr. Anal Retentive I can't help myself. Issue 1) The cockpit fresh and saltwater wash down faucet escutcheons are corroded; valves are great but escutcheons make them look ratty....

  9. Transmission oil foaming

    On my starboard Allison M20 transmission, the oil is foaming. The oil level is correct, the transmission holds 135 psi in forward at 1200-1800 rpm, and shifts fine. I have had the return line from the transmission to the pump replaced without improvement. A mechanic suggests rebuilding the pump as...

  11. What transmissions do I have? 1974 48YF with 8V71TI's

    Working my way through my new to me 1974 Hatteras 48YF and learning. The survey says the gears are marked: AS 5-72C 1.291:1 (ratio can't be right?). I have not confirmed this information as I haven't yet found the data plate!. Dipstick is showing low and I need to know what oil to add and where...

  12. Generator Thru Hull

    I have a 1982 53MY and have what is probably a pretty dumb question but I am trying to winterize my boat and have not been able to locate the thru hull for the generator. I looked at the drawings and I fear the thru hull is contained in within the sound shield of the Onan generator. I have removed...

  13. Kohler generator air filter/silencer

    I had the genny serviced today and the air filter inside the silencer box is made of wire covered by some kind of foam. It was lucky I had this checked because the foam was starting to deteriorate to powder, right before the turbo intake. No problem I thought, the PO left two new replacements. ...

  14. Galley Maid Windlass Foot Switch

    The rubber "gasket" on my Galley Maid windlass foot switch is in need of replacing as it is cracking. I contacted Galley Maid and they want $29 plus $8 shipping for the part. I guess that they're very proud of this part as this seems awfully pricey to me. Has anyone else found a source for this...

  17. Looking to move up to a larger Hatt convertible...need some input.

    I currently own and enjoy a 1979 43C. I am looking to move up to a larger convertible that has at least 2 full heads/showers, and a washer/dryer. I looked at a 1979 55c today and was disappointed with the small salon due to the galley up-dinette configuration. I am looking for suggestions as to...

  18. 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...

    Well, my 2-year old repairs of the wing door side panels on SERENITY (1970 53MY) have failed. These are the inch thick, balsa cored panels outboard of the aft wing door frames that set vertically between the liferail and the roof. Clearly water had previously gotten into the cores and begun...
