    Re: 1976 Hatteras 58 LRC Stabilizer System Install

    Interesting view of the engine room.... looking up into engine room from outside boat through hole drilled for actuator assembly...

    Due to the actuator being 137 pounds, I am installing them in pieces.

    That would make a LOT more sense that's it's zinc plated steel.

    The "reveal" of the actuator shaft assembly housing beyond the outer edge of the hole is 1/8". I'm sure that sets up the overall "height" you're talking about.

    My blocks weight is 48 lbs, what do you think the mahogany block weighs?

    My mahogany blocks have no fiberglass. They are just set into some sort of sealant. Its not 5200 but something similar. They were installed the year after the boat was built and after 5000hrs of service and 36 years they still look like new so I guess mahogany was a pretty good choice.

    I think my blocks are are constructed of mahogany plywood. And this is one of the problems . Solid boards would be more water resistant. Also , the Naiad installation manual calls for two layers of fiberglass covering the blocks and extending at least 6 inches away from the blocks.

    Sorry for the long pause in updates. I had some real life issues to take care of.

    The install has progressed nicely. The actuators were installed and fiberglassed to the inside of the hull. You can't really see the fiberglass work in the pics since they tabbed them onto the hull and up on the sides of the support block.

    I was not on the boat when they installed the fins and the yard did not get any pics of the fins installed.

    The boat was re-splashed about two weeks ago. Then the oil cooler/reservoir was installed along with all the associated hydraulic hoses. The wiring was also installed and run up to the pilot house and upper helm. When I left there last week, they had installed both the upper helm and pilot house controls. All that was left to do was for the electronics guys to do the actual hook ups.
