Came into Ortega River Yacht Club and found only 30A Service. Plugged in the 30A cord and had 120V, but the indicator light flickered for a while and then went out. The bulb checked OK. Started the dryer with everything else turned off and all was well for 20 minutes or so, then all 30A/120V...

The rear main seal on the port 6V92 leaks a little (in spite of the PO replacing it) and of course this ends up raising the level of the Allison M15. I need to remove a couple of quarts over the period of a 1200 mile trip and have simply disposed of it. However one individual suggested pumping...

Has any one used a Super Max 20 adjustable anchor on a Hatteras platform? I'm considering going up one size and want to be sure it will fit properly before spending the big bucks. The manufacturer thinks it will fit. Bob Kassal Chateau de Mer 1981 48MY

This summer, several boats are planning a cruise through the Erie, Oswego and Rideau Canals and where ever. This is not a structured cruise, just friends touring new waters (to us). First mate Gayle and I will be aboard Chateau de Mer (48MY), WaltP and Monica on Guppy (also 48MY), Don and...

I have four short lengths of raw water hose that need to be changed on the starboard sides of my 6V92's. They look to be about 3/4X4" and couple hard pipe to a cast iron component. There may be only 1.5 - 2" space between the metal components. My question: Is there brand of hose that will slide...

My starboad main (original?) GFCI has tripped twice in the past month and the port side once. In all three cases, no one was aboard and nothing was running other than the the refrigerator (port side) and wine cooler (starboard) and the indicator lamps of the entertainment stuff (also starboard)...

I recently got this notification and Waltp suggested I post it here for HOFers to see.. This Sunday at 9 pm Eastern time, FOX news, is going to air a very important documentary about Barack Obama. The report will go back to Obama's earlier days, showing even then his close ties to radical...

My original, I think, in-dash depth sounder, a Standard Communications model 9XU9 has gone TU. I have power at the wires, but nothing on the face. This is one of those small circular units. Would anyone know where to get a replacement? Or what the frequency of the transducer is? Hummingbird...

This summer there was thread that dealt with heat exchangers and some difficult -to-access hoses that could lead to problems. I recall it was specific to 6V92's. I copied and sent that to my mechanic because I wanted him to deal with it. Well, I lost the computer and all it's data and now can't...

I'm running south with Walt P and Ralph (also a Hatt owner). Made it from Baltimore to north Florida so far. Last night when anchoring at Lanier Island, GA we heard a noise like a whine intermittently while maneuvering to anchor. The guys described it as like the sound of an electric servo...

My mech just pulled the rudders on the 48MY and found the shaft is badly grooved at the packing and triangle plate. These are one piece casts. Any ideas on how to repair the wear on the shafts? Can weld metal be aplied and machined? New rudders will be $2000 each. I got into this thinking I...

Hi Guys, Remember my thread earlier this year about plugged filters. Well, I bought a case or Racor 2020PM's (30 mic) and changed several times 'just in case'. I also have a bunch of secondaries but have not changed them yet. Last week I got around to installing vacuum gages with a drag...

Saw this one at the Hyatt in Cambridge MD. The future 'classic' look? Yep, it is a Hatteras. Bob

Does anyone have a source for T-handle gages for 1000 FG filters, preferably with a follower needle? Bob

Hey guys, I need some fast advice. I'm cruising north and lost one of the 6V92's in the Alligator-Pungo canal (NC). It sounded like lack of fuel when it went down. It restarted once and ran a few minutes and stalled again. I tried priming with the electric pump and no luck. We limped back to...

Hey you south Florida HOF'rs, is anybody going to Boca Chita next weekend? I'm planning to be there starting early Friday afternoon. lets make a party. Bob

Can any one reccommend a household brand of two ply TP for use in vaccuflush systems. I'm getting tired of West Marine prices. Bob

The aft stateroom AC is popping the breaker on heat mode. It has worked fine for the 2.5 years I have had the boat. Control is after market digital electronic. I can't run from the breaker back to the AC control fast enough (3-5 seconds) to hit the off button before it blows again, so don't...

While changing oil yesterday the reversible pump didn't seem right, so I pulled the cover off the impeller and found two vanes missing. I don't know if these went into the waste can or the transmission. If the latter, can they get sucked up and cause damage, or is there a screen in front of the...

The brownish blobs in the picture look like mineral growths on the inside of the hull. This was taken looking aft from the floor hatch in the master head of a 1981 Series I 48MY. They are out of reach so I can't easily get a sample, but they appear to be growing from the hull, and not...
