I have been a member here since 2006. I joined shortly before we purchased our 53C. The amount of information and combined experience has been invaluable to me. This would have been our 11 season with the Hatt but sadly/happily we just sold her😩. We have always boated and never had the chance to...

A friend on mine is closing on a new boat next week and has asked the admiral and I to help get the boat north. Currently the boat is in Fort Lauderdale and we will be bringing it up to Lake Huron. The boat has 1100 Mann's with a little over 500 hrs on it. Other than extra impellers, fuel...

Not really boating related but I was wondering if any HOF member is down around the Atlanta GA are that can look at a car for me? Looking for a new toy for the summer and found a Porsche Cayman down in GA. The dealer sent several pictures but there is nothing better that viewing in person and...

I am soooo tired of cold and snow! Finished my last winter project on the boat today and I am ready to launch, however the lakes are not ready! I want 80* day and warm water to take the grand kids tubing behind "papas" big boat! It's been a long, cold and miserable winter!

Not sure if this has been posted before but I seen it on another boating site. I had a sticky shift cable for my starboard engine, didn't really stick anywhere just took a little more pressure to move the lever. All the tool is a tire pressure valve, 1' of clear tubing and two hose clamps. I...

I am selling a Cruiseair 16k compressor, includes electrical box with intact capacitors. Also have squirrel cage fan, both in good working order. The evaporator coil went bad so I am changing the system out to a stand alone model. Not quite sure the value but after a little research I think the...

Only used for one month, includes optional remote temp sensor. Over $400 all in when I purchased it, will take $200 plus shipping Chris Superior Nights 53C

Not sure it they will fit, but one concern is the exhaust may mess up the headliner in the salon?

I have to replace the saloon air unit this winter. The condenser coil has developed several leaks and cannot be repaired. This is a Cruiseair split system with the condenser located in the wet bar located on the aft bulkhead in the saloon. The A/C compressors are located in the engine room...

Got a question for all you electronics wizards on HOF. A friend is getting all new electronics and I am getting his old (4yrs) C120 raymarine and his raymarine autopilot. No problem on the install of the chartplotter with the exception of will it talk with my old JRC 4kw oper radar. I would like...

Can somebody give me a tachometer 101? Port tach not working, starboard is fine. Since they are electric I checked the wires on the back and did not see any broken or corroded wires. I might mention that my boat getting behind the gauges is damn near impossible, I had to use a mirror to just...

Been waiting for enough water to launch in the river, hopefully today @1100 is the day! Chris Superior Nights 53C

Doing my annual search for impellers for my 892's finding most priced between 75-95. Found this website for $53 was wondering if anybody is familiar with them? http://www.jabscoimpeller.com/jabsco-impeller-p/17936-0001-b.htm Chris Superior Nights 53C
