I had an 88 41C for 17 years. Mine had 36" 3 blade Rollas. Don't remember the pitch.

I had a similar situation with my Hatteras system. My ER fire system did not discharge but it got so cold one winter that the gauge dropped down so low that the system thought it discharged. That set the alarm off. I could not get the alarm warning to clear until I removed the fuse for the...

I have been using my dockside water hookup without any issues. I don't really understand how it all works with my Mach5 headhunter and Puffer tank. I was reading about the pressure regulator guage and whether of not I needed to turn off the headhunter when using dockside water. I went and found...

What is the correct position for this valve? Vertical? Horizontal? Or at a 45?I think they got moved over the winter and I want to be sure they are in the correct position when running.

I went to turn on the ER light switch and no lights. The DC lights still work. I checked the breaker for the ER lights and recepticles located on the breaker panel on the aft bulkhead behind the starboard engine, and it is ON. Is there a fuse somewhere (maybe one of the 2 panel boxes on the...

Help needed. Our 2006 54 Convertible woke us up at 3 am this morning. Outside alarm going off. Went right to the Hatteras display which indicated Engine Rm Fire. And Extinguisher has discharged. Silenced the alarm (but cannot reset alarm message). There was no fire in the engine room. I did have...

Greetings. I have been trying to figure out all of the connections for my TVs. I have managed to connect to Directv for the salon and the master stateroom. But I have a boat load of questions and equipment. First, how do you remove the salon TV? I want to see what is behind it and ultimately use...

Recently purchased a 2006 54 Convertible so am still learning the systems. Have had issues with the AC units but nothing major. Biggest issue right now is a wet carpet. Initially at the bottom of the companionway steps and now into the portside master near the head. Just prior to this I topped...

I dewinterized my main engines and they fired right up. No problems. When I shut them down, I heard a fan running in the engine room that I hadnt been hearing. It was the fan on the Charles 5000SP Smartcharger. The needle was pegged as far right as I have ever seen it. Past the 50 amp mark and...

Just got finished with our winter refit. Removed and rebuilt both Detroits, replaced all throttle and transmission cables, glassed in the windshield, just to mention the basics. problem is with the Synchro. Worked fine before all this work. Now it is acting up. This is the deal...before, the...

My boat is on the hard now for 2 weeks while I do some fall maintenance. I have several areas on the hullsides that need filling and repainting. Some of these are screw holes but no areas larger than say 1 square foot. Question. The hullsides are the standard hatteras offwhite. What can I use to...

I am in the process of adding a Cablemaster to my 88 model 41C. I would really like to ditch the 4 wire cable for the 3 wire. Right now I have a 50 amp 125/250 VAC that can run everything including the 2 AC units (both 230 volt) and the water heater, block heaters, etc. The boat also has a...

Can anyone tell me how many 90s (esp.1993 and 1994) 46 Convertibles were built? They seem to be few and far between...
