Boat has Been sold!!

Hello listees, My 1983 Hatteras 48 motoryacht has three head exhaust fans and the same exhaust fan over the stove in the galley. The circuit breaker which covers all of them as well as the port side AC electrical outlets is on the AC panel. The original electrical schematic for the boat...

Hello all, Each of the three heads in my 1983 48 MY has an exhaust fan. I uncovered one of them and it looks just like the 3" flanged Jabsco item in the Defender catalog that sells for about 65 bucks. SAMs can replace it with OEM for 175 bucks. Has anyone used the off the shelf Jabsco item...

Hello all, There is a Bomar hatch on my Imroned Hatteras MY that has some peeling which has exposed bare and pitted cast aluminum. I do have some matching Imron and catalyst for touch up, but I would like to know what some of you think about priming (and primer to use) after clean up and...

Hello all, I have a large Bomar port light at the rear of my 1983 Hatteras 48 MY over the head end of the master birth. It is about 15X24”. It opens in and up after loosening the two dogs at each side and the two at the bottom. I want to remove the cover to replace the Lexan widow in the...

Over the weekend the “boss” and I were working on the finish on our teak wing doors on our 1983 48 Hatt motoryacht. We sanded the flaking and chipping spots down to bare wood and feathered the edges until the bare spots were the same color as the balance of the doors which were still covered...

My 1983 48 MY has the typical (?) inlet panel on the port side and the Hubbell inlet needs to be replaced. Not as simple as it sounds. The four screws holding it in place would not tighten or back out so I figured it was through bolted. Removed the access panel inside the boat and the back of...

This 1991 hypalon Avon 11’ RIB came to me as part of the purchase of a used Hatteras this fall. She is powered by a 1995 Mariner oil injected two stroke engine with power trim and tilt. The boat is equipped with and AGM starting battery, Uniden depth finder, compass, built in 7 gallon fuel...

On, or about February 1st I will have a 15 KW 1983 Onan diesel generator available for pick up in Rock Hall, Maryland. Under the right circumstances, I would be willing to have it loaded on a trailer and deliver it to a location of the buyer’s choice within a couple of hundred miles. Being...

Hello all, Can anyone tell me the ratio of the RPMs versus the engine RPMs that my mechanically driven 75 AMP OEM Detroit Allison engine alternators are turning on my 1983 Detroit 6/71Ns? If not, how could I find/figure it out? Thanks, Jim

Hello all, On my 1983 48 MY, I have a lower hem and windshield washer (and wipers). Above the lower helm there is a switch in the form of two buttons stacked on top of each other the upper turns on the wipers and the lower is (I suppose) the washers. The wipers come on, but not the washers...

Hello all, My 1983 48 MY has windshield washers from the factory. Am I correct in assuming they are supplied simply by water pressure from the freshwater system and are either on or off? I am think toward winterizing and am wondering if I need only to turn them on till i see antifreeze coming...

Hello all, My new to me, 1983 48 motoryacht is equipped with Hynautic steering. The system is filled with ATF at the moment and I am told that replacing the ATF with Hydraulic fluid would help considerably. Has anyone had experience with this and/or any other solutions for loosening up the...

I recently purchased a 48 foot 1983 Hatteras motoryacht. There are three heads which have exhaust fans. I know where they vent through the hull, but I can't figure out how to get at them to replace them. Does anyone know how to get at these fans?? Thanks, Jimbo46
