https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1973/hatteras-43dc-3870956/ Due to health problems, a botched knee replacement in 2018 and now having Parkinson's. After 21 years of livingaboard we are forced to move off. Don't let the listed price scare you, she can be had for a lot less.

So the start push button on the port engine has gone bad....Have ordered a new one from Sam's that will come in this week but it will require me pulling the instrument panel on the aft deck.(there is no fly bridge) Is there any tricks or tips I should be aware of ahead of time? (the old button...

Another Hatt at my marina, a 1968 (?) 44' Hatt DC has it's starboard rub rail rotted out... He's in his early 80's and hasn't been back here in Florida since the Corona Virus brought out but I have sent him pictures. He wants to have it and the metal strip replaced and wants to know who...

OK, Did a search for this before posting... My original princess stove combo took a crap about a year ago. Bought a used one that ended up being smaller and it crapped out last week.. Thinking of replacing it with an LP combo. Dimensions are 20X20X24 .... Closest I've found so far is this...

Anyone know where I can find one of these? Sent an email 10 days ago to Sam's.. No answer yet (pretty sure I messed up somehow)…. If they do have them, I'll buy it from them and not anywhere els..

I have been offered a super deal on two props for my Hatteras... More than fair.... But the props are off a Hatteras with 2" shafts My Hatteras has 1.75" shafts... Are there any adapters to make them fit my boat??? Have been checking online and haven't found any, yet remember reading someplace...

In search of a prop for the port shaft, but can use both...... Needing REALISTICALLY PRICED used ones... Props are 24 X24 on a 1.75 shaft... Several places have new ones, best price is $1850 each. way out of my price range. Have contacted Sams, and a few other places and am waiting for replies...

OK, we're being hauled out Monday for a bottom job... Have pressure washed the swim platform so it's now nice and clean... I myself, like the natural look (mostly because it's less work for ME) but the admiral wants it "treated"... varnish? stain? oiled? What do the rest of you do with yours

Simple problem, the raw water belt has streached to the point it will no longer stay on the pulleys. I have a Kohler 9CCOZ diesel generator and the number on the belt is 1270. So off to NAPA I went, nope, cant help, two other auto shops, nope can't help. two marina stores, nope, can't help...

Have been trying to do this for a while.... Using paint remover and/or obitial sander "isn't cutting it". Also doing the roof of the saloon... Have about 5 hrs into it, and looks like it would take a month, working 8 hrs a day. Have looked into buying a paint grinder, like the idea of 10,000...

Saw this 3 days in the ICW after Matthew passed us here in Fernandina Beach Fl

Will be pulling it out to a fix a broken wire to the oven element this week end on my 43'. Is there any trick to pulling it that I need to know?

Looks like our original 1973 princess stove combo is on it's way out.....Haven't found a lot of new ones or other makes that I can replace it with. Can find a lot of 20" wide stoves but they are 240v at all the local stores and online.

So when I did a fast visit to see the 53' last week that I'm taking to Sarasota last week, did notice both temp gauges were at 180 degrees before I started the motors, the needles did not budge when I started the motors and stayed at 180.. Owner wants me to order new gauges .... Now I can't...

Am doing a delivery of one this month... She's in great shape and the owner has kept up with the routine and any repairs. I visited the boat yesterday for about an hour to make sure it was as good as I was told... She is, but here's my questions. How big are the two fuel tanks (marked port and...
