Our 58YF has the original GM windlass that works OK except that the wildcat is for 1/4" BBB chain which seems very much undersized for this boat. We removed the 200 ft of chain a couple of years ago and have been using 60 ft of 3/8" chain with a 3/4" nylon rode. Since this chain won't work with...

Just thought I would check how my tank looked as it was out of water when, on inspection through the gauge port, saw oil. Not a lot but way more than just a sheen. I took the screen off of the water pump and noticed fuel smell and residue on the screen. I had a fuel return line leak that flooded...

This past weekend in the Keys a very good friend and fellow Hatteras owner was leaving after a 3 month stay at the marina. As we helped him with his lines and headed out of the marina not more than 20 minutes later we heard coast guard calls and the his Hatteras was on fire and to make matters...

The problem is that the coax from the 24" antenna exits its stalk on the outside of the stalk and not through the bottom. Short of cutting and splicing the RG58 coax (not my specialty) is there...

So, after much help from Sky, among others, I decided to but a KVH unit to install on my radar arch. Since I already have a 6KW Furuno open arrray in the middle of the arch, I will be installing the sat dome(s) off to one side, and slightly below the level of the open array since I understand that...

My father passed away and left a 1969 42 ft sport fisherman (convertible?) drydocked in Florida. I am moving to Wilmington,NC and am thinking about having it trucked to there. Does anyone know where I can find the dimensions (even approximate) for this boat to get a quote for transport? Also, if...

Here's one for the trivia trackers... Stbd racor looses prime. This gremlin has me topping off the racor before firing. Fires off fine and prime holds. No fuel leaks, but on shut down the fuel drains back to the tank, leaving the racor about 1/4 full of fuel. Any thoughts on where to start the...
