I have a small custom housing/dash extension between the factory helm guages. It sits in the space between the factory helm and the windshield. It has a teak faceboard that matches the factory teak well and it is wrapped in a vinyl that is quite similar to the factory dash vinyl. It blends well...

Does anyone have an idea what the major differences are between these two charting platforms? Santa was good to me and is allowing me to purchase a new electronics/navigation package for Sweet Melissa. I have decided to go with the Furuno 1944C 64mi 4' open array radar and chartplotter. I have...

Has anyone added an A/C duct to the galley from the air handler in the forward stateroom? It seems that some of the air could be directed into the galley to help keep the galley comfortable. I was speaking with a member of this forum and he mentioned seeing a/c ducts high on the fwd stbd galley...

What would be "best" to plug an exhaust hose that is under the waterline? I know most people just stuff rags or a towel in there, but I would like something more substantial. The usual wood boat plugs do not come in a 5" diameter to my knowledge, which is the size I think I need. Short of...

A good friend (wannabe Hatt owner) is interested and it seems to be a good deal. I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about her. She is a 1971 38 Triple Cabin with 8V53's. Her hailing port is Oregon, IL. ANY information is greatly appreciated!

Need boat trailer for 11K lb 31' Twin Diesel Inboard I need to move an 11k lb 31' center console fish/dive boat with twin turbodiesel inboards that I just agreed to buy from Georgia to Louisiana. I was wondering if anyone here knows of a trailer that I could possibly rent, buy or even borrow...

Does anyone know what the maximum suggested anchor weight is for a Galley Maid Winlass? I am looking into the larger anchors and wondering what I can safely put on the original pulpit/winlass safely and use regularly. It seems from my research so far that an anchor of about 60-70lbs would be...

I just booked my tickets! I missed last year when the show was cancelled/postponed due to Hurricane Wilma. I can't WAIT to get down there this year! I arrive late Thursday and leave early Tuesday for four full days of boat show FUN! So, who's all going?

There has been some interest shown under another thread in a Gulf Coast Hatteras Rendezvous over the week of Thanksgiving, centrally located in the panhandle of Florida in the Destin/Ft Walton area. My Admiral has given me a tentative "green light" for such a rendezvous, assuming there is...

YachtsmanBill, has the pendulum once again swung the other way? During one of my regular ebay searches I ran across this with already an opening bid and an option for "Buy it Now!" Sorry, I do not know how to post a link so just go to www.ebay.com then type in item number "250020745157" in the...

Many have raved about the new electronic diesels from Cummins with most suggestions for repowers referring to the QSM's. I looked at their website and noticed that there are QSB, QSC and QSM. They all have overlapping power outputs but different displacements. I would normally assume the most...

Well after a nice weekend on the boat only a short couple of hours (total) of cruising behind me I have found an interesting problem. Once I was back at the dock I did my post-cruise engine room checks and noticed a pretty good stream of water coming from both shaft logs. No problem I thought...

As so many others have experienced with various companies, I now have to deal with a non-renewal from National Marine Underwiters. They say that they have no market for vessels over 15yrs old and over 30' in my county. Why did they insure me last August with my 58' 35yr old boat? I was going...

Many 53MY and 58YF aft decks have wet bars and/or A/C cabinets on either side of the double doors leading into the salon. Does anyone know what is in those walls under the windows? I wonder if they have studs every so-often between the fiberglass exterior surface and the afrormosia interior...

After reading most if not all windlass-related posts on this board, I believe that I may have a new problem. When I reeled in the anchor last Sunday it slipped even after I tightened the top bolt. It happened several times and I had to pull the all chain rode and anchor in by hand. I figured the...

Let me be the first to wish all fellow boaters a very Happy Mardi Gras from Louisiana! We spent the whole weekend in New Orleans and just got home yesterday. The party is still going on through midnight tonite, but I have had my fill. I've lost my vioce and my head is still throbbing a bit, but...

Does anyone know how to operate the Nutone Central Vac located above the starboard engine? No mention of it in the Hatteras manuals anywhere. I assume that it is an original system due to the plumbing issues but I cannot seem to find the switch to power it up! I have tried inserting the hose...

I have searched this forum several times and cannot seem to locate the post that I read recently about several coolant drain points on the 8V71TI's. I plan on flushing the coolant in both mains soon and I would like to be fully aware of the procedure and prepared when I begin. Thanks again!

Does anyone have a solution for replacing the small oval screens on the original deck drains on the 53MY/58YF? Sam's Marine offers the complete chrome deck drain assembly (~$260 each) but I only need the replacement screens. The aft part of the drains are actually under the wing door frames, so...
