Hi All, My friend Gary and I were discussing coring, when it's used, why it's used, etc. He just bought a new (to him) late 80's Bayliner 38 motor yacht. Let me take a shot at describing where I think coring is used in my Hatt. The helm roof, the foredeck, the port and starboard outer decks...

Hi All, Doing some deck resurfacing and I'm looking for a non-skid additive that IS NOT gritty. Hate that stuff. A marina mate of mine that I knew a few years ago added something that created what I can best describe as tiny dimples in the surface. Gave you the traction but not the look and...

Hi All, Like many here in the north east we leave our batteries in the boat during the winter layup. The charger is left on so when the yard is open they can stay charged. Recently the yard unbeknownst to me has been shutting the breakers off all day for multiple days in a row. I had the...

Hi All, Has anyone seen this image before ! Amazing !

Hi All, Ahhhhh...... I'm so careful when working anywhere near the headliner but Murphy's Law strikes again. Poked a 1/2 inch hole in the salon headliner. Anyone have a miracle method of repairing or hiding the tear? Replacement isn't an option really.

Hi All, One of my 71n's has chrome or stainless "valve covers" (not sure of the correct term for a diesel engine). Why you might ask, well what I heard from the prior owner was the owner before him wanted to put them on both engines but never got to it. I'd like to swap them out for a regular...

Hi All, My 71's have been well cared for but they haven't really had a good external cleaning. The grime and occasional chipped paint makes them look un-kept so my brilliant idea was to clean them and paint most of the top. Obviously I'm not going to be using a hose and pail of water down...

Hi All, I hope the forum will endulge me, but I want to take a minute to say thank you, thank you to all of the men and women who serve our great nation, thank you for your commitment and sacrifice, thank you for defending our way of life, and I want to recognize their families and extended...

Hi All, A lot of folks have enjoyed my trips down to the shipyard so I've decided to continue them as installments predicated on my ability to get down there. Thanks for all the feedback and PM's. Hope you find the images interesting. :) First, some scoop on Cocktails, you may remember her...

Hi All, Thought I'd share some vacation pictures. Nantucket Ma, 2nd and third week of Sept 2013. First 2 images,,,Wow

Hi All,,, Symptom: Very small oil leak from the port engine oil pan drain plug, maybe 4 drops a day. Cause: Port engine oil pan drain plug was cross threaded when work was done. (Believe me it's an ugly story and you don't want to know). :( I can remove it but was wondering what my options...

Hi All, Has anyone ever replaced the traditional rectangular opaque yellow insert on the forward deck hatch ? Wondering if its all one piece or is it an insert. Is it an easy job or PITA. I'd like to get a bit more light into that stateroom.

Hi All, I was looking over the harbor from the house and to my amazement this beautiful 58 Yachtfish was moving thru the channel. Given Padanaram is a smaller harbor of primarily blow boats it stood out.

Hi All, A lot of folks have enjoyed my trips down to the shipyard so I've decided to continue them as installments predicated on my ability to get down there. Thanks for all the feedback and PM's. I managed to get down to the shipyard today to see what’s new and here's what I found..... The...

Hi All, We are a 12v boat. We have 2 battery banks, one for the stbd engine and one for the port. Each bank consists of two 8d batteries linked together. The port bank is also the house bank. This is the configuration as it came from Hatteras. There are no permanently mounted inverters. We...
