I would like to get some impressions from you all how your Hatteras yachts' FW plumbing was done from the factory. Blue Note is plumbed with copper pipe, however in some areas reinforced hose was used to transition from copper lines to fixtures. The hose is slipped over the end of the copper pipe...

I discovered something on my 58TC over the week-end that lit a light bulb as to how I could have a freshwater washdown system on the boat as it does not have one (except in the bilge). This was on my to-do list as I like to keep a clean ship after running in a lot of salt spray. I had planned to...

I've been looking for a set of spare wheels for our boat. Jennifer at Hatteras pulled up the file on my boat and it said that the boat came from factory with 20X20 4 blade Michigans. seams a little large for 440 Chryslers but I'm not sure either. The boat currently has a set of 3 blades currently...

To get a good idea how some boats are made, go to usauctions.com and look at the wrecks. note the bayliner 47 and the searay 35, both hit something at higher speeds and pushed both struts throught the hull. there is also a hatteras 42LRC that wound up on a jetty, holed and sunk. very interesting...

Here's another newbie question: How can I be a responsible boater, yet leave my Hatt 53/58/63 (etc.) for a few months at a time on the East coast while me and my family take care of business out West. I'm thinking that if we did spend a couple of seasons out East, we'd still need to leave...

I'm assuming I have the original Princess 3-burner stove that shipped with my '84 45cSeries II. It has a wood cutting board surface mounted on top of a stainless folding tray top that covers the burners when they're not in use. Does anyone know where you can find parts for such a beastie? It...

To properly size electrical cables, there is a formula we can use. Here it is. Acmil= (KxIxL)/V Where: Acmil is the cross-sectional area of the wire in circular mils K=10.75 representing the resistance of copper in mil-foot I= is the maximum Amps in the circuit we're designing

Have read on this forum and elsewhere about the use of pool tablets in tne AC sea water strainers. Had to replace a hose on one of my units last week and when I removed the old hose there were a few mussels inside the hose. So last time I was in Wally World, I got some Aqua Chem 1" Stabilized...
