We are blasted, more blisters than I care to count (300+++), ready to repair and paint. PO had made a bad attempt at barrier coat. Our original plan was to barrier coat with 2000E and 2 coats of MicronCSC. Our new calibrated moisture meter says 9 on sides and anywhere between 10 and 23 below...

Has anyone of the 43 Guru's here replaced the hose aft of the mufflers on a 78 or newer 43DC. I have spent the morning researching the forum. If you have will the mufflers slide forward once the aluminum plate in the ER is removed. My visual recon suggests that there may be some cutting involved...

Anyone know of a good source for new shafts for a 43 DC? I believe they are 1 3/4". Also does anyone know the length? How about reconditioning? How expensive? Thanks:cool:

We need a heat exchanger tank for a J&T 6-71TI they are the same for both sides and the part number is JT1027-B. A new one is 1900 bucks so what I am looking for is used but serviceable. Ideas as to where to look would be a great help also. Already looked at boatdeisel, dieselpro and e-bay...

I am no where near the boat. Can someone tell me the hull speed of a 43DC? Yes I am wearing my dunce cap!!!!!:cool:

I have a good friend that lives close to Lincoln Harbor that is looking at boats in the area. He is going to be a live aboard, he is looking in the 40 to 50 foot range, and he could have a boat that needs some TLC. The best part is he likes Hat's. I want to be sure he gets a good surveyor and...

This is what glass beading looks like. As you can see there are some good blister repairs that are already there. About 250 new ones. They have been ground out and hull is drying now. We are doing a full barrier coating job and it is not cheap but I am told when done paint every three years...

Russ and I have a 79 Hatteras 43'. In the forward head, the shower curtain is hung from a bent metal rail attached to the ceiling with a plastic inch long flat rectangle that has a round head that I assume goes in the metal track of the rail at the ceiling. My question is: Do I need a special...

We are having our bottom media blasted now. The boat has had no bottom maintenance for the last eight years so to no ones surprise we have a couple hundred blisters. There are also another 60 to 100 that were not repaired properly or not dried correctly so they need attention also. None appear...

We have 2 R-41 radars for sale. Both units appear to be complete. One unit has surface corrosion the other looks great. They were removed for upgrades and suppose to be in working condition. They are too large for our boat unless we put on an arch and given our cruising area radar is about 4...

Our heat and A/C work fine on shore power. As soon as we switch to the Genset it appears that the seawater pump and fan just stop. Go back to shore power and it's back to normal. Any ideas? It appears that all the other 60 hz stuff works normal on the Genset. We are considering adding a second...
