I have kept my boat in Ft Lauderdale in the winter for about the last 16 years to live aboard. The prices at the marinas have been more money than I was ready to pay. Hence, I have kept them behind peoples houses on canals where it was legal to live aboard. The last couple of years I have kept...

Does 4 gallons sound right. I can't find my old paperwork. Using an ablative paint

We are in the process of preparing the boat for new paint. I have four electrical hookups in front of each salon door. From what I have read on the forum, it seems to me I will never need any of them except the 220v with the 50 amp line. How involved is it to take out the other three lines and...

I admire and am jealous of some of the renovated helms I've seen here on the forum. I have a 1978 58 ft, Yachtfish with 8V71TIs that I am very happy with. I need to replace some of my gauges. Many years ago I put in Digital tachs from Aetna Engineering which I love. Has anyone replaced their...

I think I am about ready to sell my Yachtfish I have owned sine 2002. I thought I would fish around for some price range ideas or potential buyers here on the forum first. Starting in 1978, Hatteras started putting a bench seat in front of the helm on the flybridge which my wife and I really...

My husband and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c. She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar back.' She sighed and went to get the manager who...

Anyone have a place they would recommend for a rebuilt or remanufactured turbo. I also need one intercooler.

Some buddies and I are heading down to Miami or Miami Beach Thursday and then down to the party at Elliott Key on Friday. Anyone going? If yes, we could look out for each other and meet. I have not been in a number of years but there is no way I will forget the good times I have had there...

I will vouch for Skipper Gentry of "the Carolina Gentleman" mentioned above. My son went to East Carolina University with Skipper. He is at Morgan's Bluff which is on the northern end of Andros which is 35 miles west of Nassau. We stopped there a few weeks ago on our way back from the Exumas...

I have a 1974 46C that we redid. The Hatteras electrical wiring is very robust and I would investigate fully before ripping any of it out. We redid some wiring from the wiring blocks to the use for the wiring. We put digital voltage & amp gauges on the electric panel after we moved it from the...

At idle one of my Detroits is only showing 3 to 5 lbs oil pressure. Once I increase the rpm's it increases to 45 lbs. Need help finding a 2 cycle Detroit guy in the Boca Raton-Delray Beach area. Most guys will travel. Would appreciate some advice or referrals for a Detroit mechanic on the East...

I have a 58' Yatchfish build in 1978. The water system diagram I have from Hatteras is dated 1971. It shows a tank under the bunk in the guest room and a tank under the cockpit. I have both of those tanks. The 53's had a belly water tank connected to the tank under the guest bunk. I wonder why...

4 buttons across bottom with dial below screen

I thought I saw a post but could not find it where someone recommended an electronics place in Ft Lauderdale that would replace worn out screens. Does anyone have someone to recommend? I used Flight Systems Industrial Products but I thought the price was high and the screen has vertical lines on...

Cleanning it up. What's next? Paint with zinc paint? Prime?

taking mine out. Anyone need any parts?

I think I have tried everything to get the scum from the salt water that sits in the bowl for flushing. Anybody know of a product or a method to make them look like the ones at home? Mine are Galley Maid.

Wilkens was in Annapolis and the dealer in Deltaville was just as good. They had some outstanding craftsmen. At my age the memory is starting to go.
