Greetings HOF Members, We no longer own a Hatteras and have some parts we'd like to get sold. I haven't been on the Forum in a long time and will not monitor this post but if you may have interest, I've included the Craig's List information below (there are pics on the CL listings). Cheryl...

Another puzzle of "where is the water coming from?": -1985 53 Extended Deck -With vigorous washing or heavy rain, we are getting water in through the headliner in the master stateroom below the approximate area where the drain holes are located on the aft deck. Is happening on both sides...

We have a half-ton Nautical Structures crane on top of our 53ED and wish to remove it for eventual sale. The model we have is "flush" mounted on the deck, it does not have the pole style mount. Any best practices on this? Assuming it's going to involve headliner removal to access some sort of...

Hi folks- Have some black rubbery marks from the strike rails at the dock. Hull is Imron paint. What product can remove these without damaging the paint? Thanks, Cheryl & Howard

Starting on the refit- new carpet and replaced the Scotsman icemaker with a beverage cooler (fridge has separate icemaker). Lots to do, trying to remember that these things are marathons, not sprints. Took her for a ride on Sunday, brought her up to 17-18kt and she ran nice and cool. Trim...

Hi folks- this bulb came out of a ceiling fixture in the master stateroom on 1985 53 ED. I think due to the large nipple at the base that it's 32v - still sorting out what's what. Bulb is about 4-5" long. What is it and where can I get it? Several burnt out (including in salon) and need to...

After traveling this winter to FL, OH, KY among others, we ended up closing this week on a 1985 53 ED from right here in our marina. Very excited to start making her our own, and looking forward to the cruising season- even though currently it's snowing like crazy here in MD! Cheryl & Howard

Greetings HOF members. Hope you all had a lovely holiday. Looking for a nice 54MY or 56 wide body. Would consider a 58 widebody / series 2. Thanks for any intel or PMs. Cheryl

I have 4 nice leather fender hooks that I can no longer use. Good condition. Make offer. Cheryl

Have just listed my 1971 53 MY for sale with Eric at Bayport. Certainly a very tough decision but since I no longer live aboard, I think it's time to "downsize." Check her out or contact Eric, and I'm happy to answer any questions...

Waiting for this epic snow to happen here in the Mid Atlantic. Feeling that restless feeling about wanting to get out on the water again. Kicking myself for not getting out more when we had those decent days in December! They were running the bubblers at the marina yesterday. How do you...

After a recent BOATT type of yard bill, I'm still finding salt water in the STBD ER. I'm consoling myself by saying that yes the work had to be done at some point, but damn. I think the water intrusion is exacerbated by running the boat. I also notice that I'm missing both of those "leathery...

I've got the boat out of the water having some work done. After reading on the forum about swim platform brackets and fastening systems, seems like they are all just a little different w/regard to structure and accessibility. My platform is held in place by 5 stainless rods, each with an upper...

Hauling the boat tomorrow to address some minor water leaks. One of them is a slow drip between the hull and the raw water strainer on the STBD main. This drip becomes increased when the engine is running, and the frequency of the drip appears to increase with greater RPM. Boat has the...

Question: A couple years ago I had block heaters installed (the kind that probe into the engine) and really only have used them to "pre-heat" the boat for cold starts in cold weather. I'm trying to plan for this winter season and wondering if folks run block heaters "continually" (mine do...

I just had a new auto pilot installed and have a box of spare Robertson AP 100 parts. Display, J100 junction box and a rudder indicator (not shown) and a whole mess of wires. Also some manuals. Free with shipping cost to anyone interested in keeping your old unit going. These are spares...

I'm prepped and getting ready to prime and paint a number of small areas where the paint has popped off. Assuming I have a handle on matching (reasonably) the shade of white paint, what can I do to match the aging issue- some of the paint, especially near the bow that gets sun exposure, I am...

This is certainly going to take me away from my "headliner project" for a bit. Was at the boat this weekend and powered up the fresh water pump. It will not pressurize even when primed. I noted water coming out of the port side of the boat where the bilge pump goes over. Then I went into the...

This poor ol boat on Craig's list - someone really needs to take this on. There it is, day after day...maybe it's beyond saving, I don't know. http://baltimore.craigslist.org/bod/4889786460.html Cheryl Cinderella 1971 53 MY

I've been casually looking for a set of spares for awhile. Found a potential set. Mine are 4 blade, 28 x 27; 2" shaft The set I found are: 4 blade, 26 x 29; 2" shaft 1. Will these work as spares? 2. Where do people store their spares on the boat? 3. Any other considerations? Thanks...
