Free to a good home. You pay shipping. First come first served. 12 VDC 120 VAC Watts These meters were removed from our 1965 41 DCMY while installing a new electric distribution panel. They worked when removed, but I can't guarantee all will survive the shocks and bumps of shipping.

If you look way back to page 4 of this thread you will see a photo of the beginnings of a mold plug for a prototype 50 foot sailboat Rivolta began in January 2009. Well, she is finally finished. I've attached a few photos of Vintage. It was interesting to see this boat come together over the...

I'm shopping for new helm chairs to upgrade from the Todd I have. I'm considering the Stidd "Admiral" versus the Ponapanette "Signature". Anyone have experience with either of these, or other recommendations for similar chairs?

Does anyone know a source for the round chrome switch labels on the older Hats? My normal set of labels are in good shape, but I would like some for additional switches.

Our 41DCMY has two 150 gal fuel tanks (diesel). I have always wished I had a little more fuel capacity, especially when anchoring out. I'm considering adding a new tank in the bilge under the aft stateroom. The tank will have to be only about 8" tall, but if it fills the space between the...

This isn't exactly a Hatteras post, but maybe someone here will find it useful. Maybe it belongs in the Parts for Sale section, but there is no "sale" involved. I have a pair of Redwing size 9D steel toe-water proof-high top boots available to a good home at no cost. These boots sell for $300...

Previous threads make it pretty clear that those with external wedge intake strainers are happy with them. What's not so clear is a preference for SS versus bronze perforated screens. I'm going to install wedge strainers on my engine, and AC intakes. I'm concerned about how long SS screens last...

The original headliner in Loose Change was made of Nautilex stapled directly to the overhead beams. We have modified this by installing thin plywood attached to the beams that will be covered with foam and Nautilex. The change was made so we can install recessed can lights in the cabin. I hope...

I've been organizing the 45 years worth of manuals, drawings and other information pertaining to the boat and her equipment. I came across the installation instructions and drawings for the Ideal Windlass Model MM that originally came on Loose Change. I replaced this windlass several years ago...

What is currently considered a "legal" means in Florida of disabling a head or waste holding tank overboard discharge valve? Will removing the through hull handle do?

I have 6V53s, have never had any injector problems, and never used any fuel additive other than Biobor JF. Although, since the boat has been undergoing a refit for the last 2 1/2 years I have not run any fuel through her. I was talking with a very good local marine engine mechanic today who...

I am helping a friend bring his 40 something Cruisers MY from Ohio to Tampa Bay next month. I have never made this run before and would appreciate any comments and advice - particularly regarding the choice of running outside vs. inside from Mobile to Pensacola and/or Apalachicola, and...

I have absolutely no affiliation with the seller of this equipment, other than as a satisfied customer. If you are interested check out this link...

I scanned my Hynautic installation and service manual this week so I could email it to Rivolta Yachts. The boat is 1965, but I think this manual is a few years newer. If anyone wants a copy of the file (and can receive a 2.4 MB file) send me your email address and I'll be glad to send a copy...

My neighbor has a late model non-Hatteras MY. It has a 2" PVC pipe manifold running along the inside of the hull on both sides. All A/C circulating water discharge, sink drains, A/C condensate drains and bilge pump discharge is routed to one of these drain manifolds. Each manifold discharges...

Loose Change is nearing completion of her year long refit. (see 1965 41 DCMY Refit on this forum) I am interested in installing a security system as she goes back together. Previously, I have removed the electronics (radar monitor, depth sounders, Loran, GPS) from the helm and stored them below...

This is a very strange report. http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/13/florida.boat.accident/ 5 killed and 7 injured on a 22 foot boat hitting a docked tug? I'm sure many of you have transited this area. It's the famous "unofficial" 5 mile long idle zone north of the Palm Bay bridge between...

I removed the original Onan Generator Auto Start Control from Loose Change when I installed the new inverter with its own auto start feature. The Onan unit worked the last time I used it. It needs a new home.

I removed the original Sentron 20 amp charger from Loose Change when I installed the inverter and new battery bank. It worked fine, it just isn't up to the job for a large house bank. It needs a new home.
