Hello all, I have a 1987 63' motoryacht. Does anyone know how many fresh water tanks? And if more than one, anyone know if the aft fill will fill both at once? Dottieshusband, I'm sure that you must know ;-)

Hey guys, Wondering if there is a way to move fuel from one tank to the other without running the engines? Or is running the engines the only way? I have a 1987 63' motoryacht Any input would be appreciated.

Hey guys, I have an older whirpool stackable. Does anyone have experience replacing the unit with a new model? I can't figure out how it will be possible to hook the new one up when there is no access from the rear. I know that I have seen boats where others have done it by cutting out the...

Hey guys, I have 12v71tis. I live in Boston and am shrink wrapped for the winter. We are live a boards so my boat is heated. Some have told me to run my engines once every couple of weeks for a half hr or so while others have said not to so I'm not sure what is best. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hey guys, This morning my alarm rang and I lost power to ac #2 panel. When I put the transformer 2 breaker in the off position the light up top comes on, but when it's in the on position the light goes out. No power either way. The dock breakers are on. Any ideas?

Hey guys, There are stereo speakers and volume knobs all over this boat, factory installed. Where is the stereo system?

It seems as soon as I fix a leak, another pops up. I cannot figure out where the heck this is coming from. I have only seen this leak twice. When we were traveling in rough seas on the way up the coast from Cristobal backlash and now right after that killer storm we had here a couple of nights...

Hey guys, don't laugh, the is my first time changing engine oil ever, let alone on a tank :). I filled the oil to the full mark and then ran the engine for a minute. When I shut it off the oil was down to low again. Is this normal? I assume that I am supposed to fill back to the line again???

Hey guys, I'm about to attempt changing my oil for the first time . I have an Onan 20kw. Does anyone know how much oil they take?

Hey guys, I have seen this same spot leak on every Hatteras model like mine that I have seen. The master stateroom in the closet on the port side on the bottom shelf. All of the 61's that I looked at had a leak in this same spot. Does anyone know where this comes from? I tried peaking in the...

Remodeling and my head mirror is in poor condition. I can't figure out how to remove it? Has anyone done this?

If anyone wants to check out my refit here is the link http://5kidsandaboat.com/let-the-refit-begin/. I know that many of you have done the same. If you care to share pointers, I would love to hear!

Guys, I have been trying to run my engines once a week for a few minutes. The last 2 times my starboard engine didn't want to started then stopped after a few seconds, but then ran after a couple of tries. This time I tried about 4 times to start it and it won't stay running. I am in need of oil...
