I have a cruiseair 16000 btu A/C unit with SMX II controls which seem not to have any power to the controls when I turn on the breaker. Is it possible that the breaker itself is bad and if so how do I check it out. I have to tell you I am electrically challenged. Normally when I flip on the breaker...

This has been my week for down-n-dirty maintenance (literally -- I had to troubleshoot a prob on my vacuflush sys., and while I was at it, I changed out all the tired old permeated stinking waste hoses -- that was a TREAT!), so as long as I was making some mess in the old engine room, I decided to...

Does anyone have a source for a good quality antenna laydown hook? I've seen them on other boats, where they fold in flush when not in use, unlike the Shakespeare ones: http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/93171/0/0/laydown/All_2/mode+matchallpartial/0/0 ...

End Of June ...i'd Like To Go From Naples, Been There Twice This Spring Just Got The Boat And Would Like To Go Again , I'd Like To Do Like An Organized Cruise Maybe Get Some Discounts At The Marinas , And I'd Like To Go Farther Like Abacos This Time So Some Other Boats To Tag Along With Sounds...

I've been seriously considering taking my 58TC to Grand Cayman while it's still in Florida (after several more hours of local cruising of course). I have plenty of range, so fuel would not be a problem. Maybe Castro will kick the bucket, and I won't have to be so careful about entering Cuban...

I seem to iritate some individuals when traveling on FL ICW going through Minimum Wake Zones. The definition, and I am paraprasing it, is boat must be completely off of plane and settled into the water the wake must not be big enough to cause damage to property or harm to others. I usualy knock...

....in order to have enough time to keep up with all of these interesting threads. It seems that the more Hatt owners that sign up here, the more great questions and info I have to read everyday. I find myself taking breaks at work just to check in. Good thing I own the company or I'd have to...

I don't have a spare owners manual here in the office, so here we go. Does anyone know what the original supply and return setup was for a series one 45C for the generator ? The fuel maifold by the salon door lets you do whatever switching you wish for the propulsion engines, but there is no...
