Replacing a spotlight (32V) with a more modern 12V not avail in 32V. Have 2 small transformers that convert 32V to 12V for electronics (3 amp and 5 amp) but not enough to power the spotlight. Can't find a larger transformer for the new spotlight. Does anyone know of any sources? 10-12 AMP...

Considering adding this to my Hatt, however, at 1000.00 roughly plus install I want to make sure it's worth the money. Anyone have one or used one? Ease of use, illumination properties at the object? Use of controls? Durabiltiy? two bulbs in this unit vs. 1 in others?? Yes, I use the boat...

I'm surprised they claim that less than 10% of all the engines manufactured are still in operation??? •3.5 million MTU Detroit Diesel 2-Cycle engines built since 1940 •Nearly 300,000 still in operation around the world •Nearly 1,100 service locations to keep your equipment up and running •Over...

These seem awfully small(see link below)for an 8V71N so I'm wandering what is the appropriate size for reasonable start ups in cold temps. Boat is used on the Chesapeake Bay through the end of each year. Winterizing occurs between Xmas and New Years Day. In addition I have a 1500W permanent...

On freshwater pump I continue to get air into the water stream somehow causing spurting and surges... I've checked the pump, fittings, lines, etc... and can't find any leaks. Pump cycles normally and pressure vessel seems to hold pressure fine preventing pump from running constantly. Line...

Can someone provide a basic explanation of the necessity for and the proper reading of vaccum guages for Racor Fuel Filters (the large bowl type). Yard is recommending them as part of upgrades to fuel system lines that I'm having done this winter.

CFL has been handling Key Banks repo's for many, many years. Boats are usually in pretty good shape too. I have no affiliation with them...

My charger on my '68 Chris Craft is probably original, at least it appears to be. After being away from the boat about a month the batteries were fairly flat when I arrived. They had juice for lights, etc... but wouldn't turn over either engine or the genny. After my attempts to fire the...

I'm having a strut replaced on my '74 36C and an engine mount on one of the Cat engines. Both shafts have been pulled, original 1 1/2" diameter. The yard thinks I should replace both shafts. Both show some pitting and wear marks where they go through the cutlass bearings on the struts but...

Per Pascoe "Most of these boats through the early 80's had upsweep, water jacketed risers. Which means that if the riser leaks, as it eventually will, the water runs into the engine. Many of these systems were revised, others were not. Best to look for one that has insulated risers" In...

Take a look at that yacht on the T Head. I think those two Hatt's in the foreground are being compared to unfairly... http://www.annapolisyc.com/Default.aspx?p=DynamicModule&pageid=281972&ssid=157952&vnf=1

I have a friend looking at a 1990 Ocean 29 Super Sport as a park at his house day boat for light fishing, diving and cocktail cruising. I have heard that the 29's with the hardtop tend to be a bit top heavy and handle poorly especially in following seas but have no experience with the boat at...

http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1978/Hatteras-53-Yachtfish-1517077/New-Bern/NC/United-States Seems to have a lot going for it with new paint, etc... The aftermarket bulkhead creating the pilothouse effect has me a little worried in terms of how small it will make the salon feel. I'm sure it...

Quote from a quality yard to remove my 3 glass windshields and frames and glass them in on my 36C Hatteras 1974 and shoot with Imron 11k. Includes ripple finish on inside and does NOT include finishing off with afromosia to match rest of interior, that's extra. Comments? This is my first...

What a mess, taking a lot of time to get these boats up. Biggest concern from what I hear is spillage of gas/diesel as they raise the sunk boats. My understanding is MDE (Maryland Dept of Environment) is constantly on site. Hit the link below and scroll down slightly to watch. About 6...

This is the marina I'm in. Got a call early this am, wasn't sure if my shed was damaged. Left home drove two hours, attached is what I saw. Another sad story. My boat, the Chris Craft, is unharmed as is the shed. Every other shed had damage, the worst right behind me, E Dock. I know a...

Part of Georgetown Yacht Basin on the Sassafrass River. Middle Shed came down two days ago. These sheds had been somewhat damaged during Katrina years ago and were just starting to get fixed but were still in need of some long needed work. Too bad, a very well kept 43 DC is in one of the...

I have 50AMP service on my 1968 Constellation. It's pretty much all original. Today I went to check on the boat and when I stepped aboard and turned on the lights I noticed they were way too bright. About 10 seconds later they started to pop and blow. I quickly cut the power but heard what...
