We broke in the boat this weekend(broke it too :( ).....3 for 5 on swordfish and lost a pig at the boat. Put my scrawny 12y/o on a good wahoo with an 80 wide 150 yards out on stand up gear :eek: . The kid was drooling like a bulldog and fought it like a champ but it pulled the hook 50 feet...
I was running the engines up to cruise(1900) when the starboard engine lost power and began to blow massive amounts of black smoke. I backed out and the smoke quit and all gauges were good. I checked the engine room and nothing out of the ordinary. I tried to power again and more black smoke...
I am in need of help of troubleshooting a GM windlass. I press the foot switches and nothing happens in electrical area below. I have a feeling this is beyond my skills so is there anyone you know of in the area who can work on these?
My wife just found a 2 camera setup that is wireless and auto switches to night vision. She picked it up at Sams(the other one) for like $80. Just plug in to a TV and let it rip. I think I will put one in the engine room and one in the cockpit. I will let you know how they work but if your...
Ok, I have been looking at pics of engine rooms on some Hatts and I do not understand how they get them that clean or how they keep them that clean. One boat even had carpet in the engine room. I have put 100 hours on my boat in the last month and I allways end up with a little water on the...
While cruising in to a lock yesterday my shifters decided not to respond as intended. It is only one of 3 stations and that is the part that I do not get. One shifter will not put the trans in forward gear at all and the other will only go part way. It feel springy for lack of a better term...

Well my Golo davit winch is acting up(switch was full of water) so I am thinking it is just as easy to get a new one. I am lifting a 13' Whaler w/25hp motor(1000lbs?). When it comes to winches some have lifting power and some have pulling power. Well....a davit pulls a cable over a roller...

1976 42' Hatt double cabin
It would be lots of work but.....if you have the time and bidders do not loose their minds it could be a good deal.
How long does it take to cross Lake Okeechobee? Is it best to stage at entrance and start early? If so any suggestions where to stay on the West coast with a 60' conv. and a 5' draft?
We got into some short rollers(2-3') while waiting out a t-storm and the boat(1979 60' EB conv) creeked quite a bit when we were really getting rocked. Is this normal?
It has twin DD 12v71s and Twin Discs.
One trans has black oil :eek: ....Can it be anything other than a main seal?
It has the 850hp upgrade :D .....Any ideas on cruising speed? How long on rebuilds or just run it till...poof? Will oil analysis give me much usefull info?
Thanks
Tod
