Has anyone re-routed their generator exhaust through the main engine exhaust? My generator currently exhausts out the port side through hull. It leaves black soot, not bad but it's there, on the side of the boat. Big PIA to clean all the time. I have seen other boats where it is exhausted out...

Does anyone know where the sending wire is for the tachometer for the 3208TA engine. The Cat Service manual indicates there is a magnetic pickup on the flywheel bell housing. I can't seem to find it and would appreciate anyone's assistance. Thanks

Does anyone have an idea who built the original stainless steel exhuast for the 1985 36C Series II? My boat has the turbo charged Cat 3208 engines. It appears the riser/exhuast pipe on the starboard side has several pin holes in it and when we attempt to fill them the hole just keeps creeping...

While I have the generator out of my boat I want to replace the fuel lines on my 36C. The copper lines are very oxidized on the outside and I was thinking of replacing them with the blue Parker 221FR hose. Is there a specific reason these lines were copper? They change to Parker hose just as...

Like all Hatteras boats (according to Hatteras) the port battery doubles as the house battery. During starting I get a voltage drop that knocks out my electronics. This causes some of the settings to reset to factory defaults. I was wondering if anyone has successfully isolated the DC house...

I am looking for a used tackle center for my 1985 36C. I priced one out at Slane and I know they do fantastic work but I just don't have that kind of budget this year. Maybe someone knows somebody that has a damaged boat and is looking to sell of pieces. Let me know. I can be reached here or at...

I removed my 8kw Onan generator from the boat to do some preventative maintenance through the winter. I also wanted to soda blast and paint the unit. I fabricated a stainless steel drip pan and new motor mounts since the old one was so rusted. After removing the stator, rotor and exciter I...
