Does anyone have a Raytheon SL70 radar? I need some help. It was working just great for me a year and a half ago, but at that time I was having some major work done on the boat and took it down and stowed it until now. We connected everything together and the display screen is so dim it is...

Has anyone in the Fort Lauderdale area used the company named Marine Fire Equipment run by Norman Benoit, to inspect your engine room fire extinguisher equipment? I would like to get a reference on him since I need my fire equipment inspected. Another question: What is the qualification that an...

Does anyone know anything about these rocker stoppers? Pros and cons? Or, of any other inexpensive equipment that can help alleviate rocking that can take place at a dock...

Do any of you have experience going over to the Little Bahama Bank via the Indian Rock channel by West End versus Memory Rock? I understand that Memory Rock is better for boats needing a big draft, but my boat has a 3.5 foot draft. The other thing I read is that Indian Rock channel is narrow so...

Do I need a VHF and operator's license cruising between the U.S. and the Bahamas? I have a 43' boat, but not sure that is important criteria. Karl

Edit Quote Reply I'm planning on cruising to the Abacos in the Bahamas the first week of June and because my boat is slow, I would like to stay overnight anchored or moored in West End of the Grand Bahamas. My Explorer Chart book says that there are some anchorages, but they don't have...

I would like to install Sirius radio (not weather) on my boat. I understand that officially, Sirius is not available in the Bahamas, but I've had someone tell me that the Bahamas are on the fringe area of Sirius radio and that people are getting reception over there. Can anyone confirm that or...

I never had a RIB before and have one on a used boat I just bought. I want to place the RIB on top of the sundeck roof with a crane and chocks, but I'm wondering what to do with the RIB when a hurricane is due. Of those of you who have a RIB on your boat, do you remove it for a pending...

I'm looking at a 1997 42' Hatteras CPMY with 3126 Cats. I've read the threads that are critical about them. I'm wondering if there are any experienced owners of the same era 3126's (not the later model "B") who have something positive and encouraging to tell me about them or is all the news bad...

I'm looking at a 1991 40' Hatt Double Cabin MY and was wondering if anyone could tell me how they handle in 5-7 foot seas. Also, are the fuel tanks made of fiberglass? For any owner's who will respond, how do you like the boat and are their any issues you can make me aware of? Thanks, Karl

I'm looking at a 43' 1977 Hatteras with Cummins 903 engines, 340 hp with 2500 hrs. Does anyone know about the 903's? Good or bad? I've Googled it, but not coming up with much except that they are no longer manufactured and parts are hard to come by. Also, any info on fuel comsumption? Thanks, Karl

In the "Hatteras Owners Gallery", it would be of interest to me to be able to easily see the size and model of the boat pictures referred to. I often want to see a certain model and find myself having to navigate to the public info to try to find what I'm looking for and then giving up because...

Anyone know where I can get two tickets for the Fort Laud Boat Show, gratus? I've always received two in the mail from Hatteras every year and called them yesterday. The lady in marketing said that's gone to the local dealers now and gave me the phone number to Marine Max in Ft L. I made a call...
