For the cost of shipping its yours. One of the requirements of my survey was to remove the "superfluous" control for the old search light that was replaced some time prior to my owership. The switch, I don't know if it is functional or not, is the standard Jabsco ITT "joystick" model. Best...

I have Hatteras nameplates on the sides. They were metal and copper plated. Of course since the boat is from '84, they are not in the best of shapes. I have been looking for replacement but all I found were black plastic replacements from Sams. (I am putting back the boat to it's original look)....

I was wondering if anyone knew of a quick tool or easy solution for sighting in a satellite tv dish to acquire signal? I currently have a dish mounted on my vessel for while in the marina. I was looking into getting a Tracvision system then I saw the price tag. So, now I'm back to keeping my...

I'm still researching the two likely choices for replacing the mechanical fuel guages in my 58 YF (i.e., Snake River and Centroid). In the mean time, has anyone had any experience working on (repairing) the mechanical guages originally installed by Hatteras in the fuel and water tanks? Currently,...
