The cover was made in 4 sections and they zip together. You can see the vertical seams.The heaviest section probably weighs around 70 lbs. Attached is a picture of the framework (basically a bunch of 2x4's connected to various fittings made out of 1-1/2" thick plywood.

Here are a couple of pictures with my 53 blocked up.

The center head on my 1985 53' MY is flushing ok, but fills up to the underside of the rim after the flush. It just started doing that. Any ideas why?

I know this question has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it. I have a Robertson Autopilot, which isn't working due to troubles with the electronic board. I was thinking of switching to Garmin but retain the Robertson pump, so I don't have to re-plumb the lines. Has anyone done...

Does anyone know where I could get replacement nuts and bolts for my battery terminals to match existing? You'll see on the attached picture that the outside diameter of the shoulders is quite large, although the actual bolt is only 3/8" in diameter. I know, you'll ask: What is wrong with the...

Has anyone ever put a 12 volt starter on a 20KW Onan Generator? Mine presently has the 32 Volt starter, but I'm following in MikeP's footsteps in combining my battery banks which will be on the inverter and I would install a separate 12 volt battery for the starter.

My remote stereo volume controls either work poorly (with a lot of static) or they don't work at all. One of them (in the pic below) is seized up and doesn't turn at all. I'd like to get them working again. Are there more modern volume controls available or can these be fixed or replaced. I...

What magic potion does everyone use to get rid of the green corrosion on bronze and copper fittings? I had read somewhere about a mixture of vinegar and baking soda, that didn't work that good for me.

I made a boo boo. I didn't properly blow out the tubing going to the windshield washers when I put the boat away for the winter and the line froze. We splashed her this past weekend and I started commissioning the various systems. When I turned the water on I noticed some dripping coming from...

Can anybody tell me what this switch is for?

So, I've clicked on a few photos to save as favorites. Now where do I find my "favorites" folder? Thanks

I took my 10" Rayline Searchlight (Model 41120-1021) off the boat on the weekend to get it ready for re-chroming. Somewhere along the line I lost the plastic pinion gear that sits on the yoke, that adjusts the tilt of the light. I've sent L.B. Harvey an e-mail asking about a spare part, but they...

To all you inverter experts. I've bought an Outback 3232 Inverter/charger for my 53 MY and would like to install it before next spring launch. Not wanting to re-invent the wheel, did any of you make and or keep a wiring schematic of how the inverter is tied into the boat's electrics. ie. the...

Has anyone ever changed the hose from the shower (in this case guest shower) to the shower sump? I was winterizing my 53MY and noticed the pink in the aft bilge area after pouring pink into the shower drain. I had dried out the bilge before I started. So I'm thinking the hose has a crack in it...

I want to change out my old Datamarine depth sounder, which would require changing the transducer as well. I'm thinking of installing a Raymarine i40 Depth Sounder and also have it talk to my Garmin 4212CP. From what I've seen advertised: the i40 can be bought with out transducer or in a package...

My forward head when I flush it, seems to use the waste water to flush. It doesn't do it all the time but probably about 50% of the time. This obviously leaves smelly water in the bowl. Not being that familiar with the GM toilets yet, I can't figure out what would be causing this. Holding tank...

On my 53 the starboard windshield wiper will not auto-park like the other two when I shut them off. Anybody have an idea what could cause that? Thanks in advance. Gary

Does anyone know if and where I could buy that black corrugated hose for the Racor CCV's in bulk? I searched on a couple hose supplier's sites but couldn't find the matching hose. Thanks in advance. Gary

Looking for a davit with 800 to 1000lb capacity

I've been reading the many informative posts on this forum with great interest since late last year. I've come from the blow boat fraternity and have since contracted the Hatteras bug. Presently I'm looking for someone to point me in the right direction for a surveyor in the Lake Ontario and/or...
