My usuall contact at Hatteras is gone for a few days so I was hoping someone here might help. I will replacing a fair numbers of my electronics and cannot for the life of me figure out how best to gain access to the back of the console. It tilts forward toward the helm seat about 8-10 inches but...

I am contemplating the purchase of a 1995 48 CMY with 892s 720hp. Do any of you have any thoughts on this boat and the Detroits? I currently own a 1987 42 Bertram MY with Detroits but am looking for a 3rd stateroom and a dinette. I love the 53 MY but its age and 14 knot cruise are a concern of...

For the last month or so I've noticed a larger puff or blast of (I'd say more blue than black, but hard to tell for sure) smoke from my Stb motor than from my Port motor when the turbos kick in.

We started our trip south from Baltimore on Thursday and within a few hours had a lot of water running into the aft stateroom from a bad lamination behing the stb spray rail. We pulled the boat at Washburns Friday and found the water was entering near the foward bolt and running back a few feet to...

I am wondering what size packing to use on the rudder posts for my 42' sport fish. I have removed the packing nuts and extracted some of the old packing. It appears to be 3/8" or 7/16"

I need to pull the speakers in my helm area and stuff some sort of sound insulation behind them because the only real noise from my engines is coming through the speaker holes. Can someone recommend something easy that I can find at home depot to stuff in the holes before putting the speaker back...

....and ready to remove after a lot more hassle than I expected. I am now pulling the wires, shift cables, etc. in preparation for the move to a new location. I have loosened the nut on the back side of the wheel but can't seem to get the steering cable loose. What's the secret combination? The...
