I have the Autohelm ST-7000 unit on my boat which was installed by the previous owner. I purchased the boat 6 years ago and the system has worked without a problem until this past weekend. After setting my course and then activating the autopilot the system suddenly made a sharp turn to...

I'm having new draperies made and I need 6 more of the little vinyl curtain track slides - has a small ball at tip and flat section below that is sewn onto the top of the drapery. Does anyone know where to buy these? Thanks.

Just for info: In February of 2008 I replaced the four 8D's and installed hydrocaps on each battery. I have a Xantrex Truecharge 40 charger. In the past I've had to add 3 to 4 cups of water to each battery over a 12 month period ... but no more. The chemicals inside the hydrocaps convert the...

Gonna try this again. I have been talking with Tom Slane about making a replacement fiberglass mast for my 1979 43DC. Tom indicated that he would consider making the molds and creating the masts if there was enough demand. I have offered him my wooden mast to use as a template. My question is...

I have recently replaced all of the weatherboards on my 1979 43DC and no longer need the OEM curved corner weatherboards. If any one is interested send me an email (eze2bme@aol.com) and I can send some pictures and you can make an offer.

Today I had the pumpout boat come by and pump my holding tank. When he was finished he asked if I wanted lye to put in my tank. He said that DHEC was suggesting using lye to help dissolve solids and paper. I said thanks but no. Has anyone ever heard of this? Would the lye be harmful to the...

My 1979 MDJE 7.5kw genny has a very slight oil leak. About 1/4 cup every 15 hours and only while running. It drips into the pan inside the sound shield and I've been using a Kotex pad to catch it (yeah I know - yet another use for those female products!). I can't find where it's leaking from...

There is a swim platform off of a 70 Hatteras for sale on eBay if anyone is interested, $300 and looks to be in good shape but no brackets...

I have an Autohelm ST7000 BiData system and have been looking for an East Coast data cartridge (I'm in SC). If any of you have replaced your Autohelm units and have this cartridge and no longer need it I'd be interested in buying it. I've tried contacting Raymarine but the cartridge is no...

The aluminum window frames on my 43DC have always dripped some condensation in the Winter even though I have a dehumidifier running. Rather than installing insulated panels on the inside over the windows I have created a "gutter" to channel the water into cups as follows: I bought plastic 1/2...

I have two Windline triple fender holders that were used for about 6 months in a fresh water environment ... they are stainless steel and will mount on the vertical handrail supports or on the pulpit ... here is a web link: http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...7&classNum=456 These holders...

For any of those of you who are hold up for the winter and want to follow the progression of ships through the locks in the Panama Canal this is a pretty good link for those cold, rainny days: http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/camera-java.html You can choose from several different webcams.

Every since I've had my 43DC I've experienced condensation on the metal window frames in the salon during the winter with the heat on. There is no thermal break in these frames so they get cold from the outside and it transfers into the inside and the heat causes condensation that drips down...

The dark bronze anodized aluminum window frames on my 43DC have developed a light haze. Has anyone tried cleaning the anodized aluminum window frames with Flitz metal polish? Doing a GOOGLE search on cleaning anodized aluminum also brings up using a 50/50 mixture of water and vinegar. Any...

Don't get me wrong, I love the sound of my 6-71Ns ... but trying to talk while idling along sitting on the aft deck (1979 43 DC) is a bit difficult to the noise. There is a 6-71N equipped tour boat at our marina that has side exhausts about midships that turn down into the water ... down...

I am starting a new thread on this topic as I believe that there are members of this forum that would like to belong to a yachting association specific to their Hatteras yacht ... even if there is no other benefit than to fly a club burgee dedicated to Hatteras. I have seen the previous...

Just found a great new product. It’s a 30 amp connector adaptor that has a right angle connection where the cord set hooks into the cabin side inlet. By doing this the shore power cord doesn’t stick out into the side deck passageway and create a tripping hazard. The item is made by Marinco...
