I had similar Hynautic steering on a couple of my Hatt's, but none have had a filter (to my knowledge) before this one. In the pic below, you can see the white spin-on type filter partially blocked by the cooler for the steering fluid. The filter looks like a typical spin-on oil filter but it...

I have a used Pro Mariner Commercial Duty 24Volt 30Amp 3-Bank battery charger that I no longer need. I recently removed it from my boat and it was working properly. I only removed it to swap out for a Mastervolt electronic charger that I can link together with the other Mastervolt charger that...

I have a pair of original Hatteras Club Chairs that I no longer need. These came as original equipment on 58YF (and possibly other models). We had them professionally recovered a few years ago. These chairs are INCREDIBLY comfortable, even for 6'+ men. They take up surprisingly little space and...

I have had enough fun with picking 4"-5" fish out of my A/C intake sea strainer basket about once a week. I noticed when the boat was hauled out on survey that there was no screen on the outside of the hull. The survey noted that it was "missing", so there was one there at one time. At any rate...

I found a GPS that I would like to buy from a guy that does not do Ebay or Paypal, so I need to have someone meet him in person to give the money and get the GPS for me, then ship the GPS to me. He lives about 20 minutes outside of Charlotte, NC and he will drive up to an hour to meet someone. I...

I am looking for a newer engine for my dinghy, a Nautica 15 Widebody. The little Honda 50hp Four stroke that came on it runs great, but it is not enough power for the boat when it is fully loaded nor would it be sufficient for pulling a skier. The USCG stamp on the plate shows the boat is rated...

I just picked up this little Vespa GTS300 Super to mount on the flybridge. The previous owner told me that he had a Vespa up there next to the dinghy, so that idea has been in the back of my head. I can see right where the chocks were mounted and a friend had given me some aluminum scooter...

I have two new Fireboy Automatic Fire Extinguishers that have never been installed. The larger one is a 400 cu ft which is the perfect size to protect the generator room on a 53MY, 58YF and others with the same size generator room. I also have a 300 cu ft that is the perfect size to protect the...

Does anyone know of a source for Airtex anchors? I have admired them on the rollers of Nordhavn's for some time and would like to look into the possibility of getting one for the boat, but I cannot seem to find a source. Google pulls up nothing. Any ideas? THANKS!

Well boys, here she is! Now, as you can tell by the lines she is not a Hargrave/Hatteras but she was designed by another one of the greatest American designers of all time, Tom Fexas. The story goes like this: A gentleman is cruising his 1981 Hatteras 58 Yachtfish down the east coast in 1991...

The recent post titled "Insurance Renewal Survey" reminded me of a concern that I have about the relationship between survey value and insurable value. Rather than derail that thread I decided to post a new thread and see what you guys think. Boat sale prices are down considerably as we all...

1972 Hatteras 58’ Yachtfish, Excellent history with only One Owner, One Captain & One Mechanic from New to 2005! Ordered from Hatteras in 1971 by an international shipping company owner and vessel was used as his personal family yacht to travel between his summer home on Nantucket, MA to his...

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Mardi Gras from south Louisiana! The City of New Orleans and surrounding areas are in full swing today enjoying a beautiful day for Carnival. I'm not riding in a parade this year as I am laying low and taking it easy but the festivities are in full...

I have a new (possibly reman?) 32V macerator pump assembly with cover, Jabsco part number 37010-003. These pumps went out of production several years ago and have not been available for some time. This is a spare that I had bought for my boat but have since replaced the heads with a different...
