I am stumped by a set of electrical switches in my galley. The switch is located near the steps down to the engine and state rooms. There are 3 light switches in a vertical row. 1 for the ac circuit to the light over the galley table. Another ac switch for the fluorescent galley overhead...

My current dock power is only providing 210VAC instead of 240VAC. From what I hear the voltage gets lower in the dog days of summer due to the added load of all the A/C units running more frequently. Has any one used a buck/boost transformer to boost the ac voltage closer to the 240VAC my...

I am thinking of gutting my salon and adding insulation to the walls and ceiling to try and reduce the load on A/C system. Here in Texas we are already getting mid 90 degree temps. Hopefully with the addition of wall and ceiling insulation, cellular window shades, and a dehumidifier I will...

Has anyone replaced the Wilcox stabilizers? If so who did you use? Were the original holes and/or fins able to be re-used? What else can you tell me? My Wilcox units are non operational. I would like to replace them.

1) what level should I fill the cooling water reservoir tank up to? I have given different answers. Fill to the top or fill to about an inch (1/2 of index finger) to the top?2) my delivery captain told me to fill the reservoir with water. Shouldn’t I fill with 50/50 water and antifreeze? Or...

Anybody know what the factory raw water a/c cooling pump flow rating is? I have a shipyard telling me that the current units are undersized and that I should increase the flow rate. I have a 1988 67’ CPMY. Thank you

Hello everyone. Have any of you used the plastic or fake wood material commonly used in house decking to replace the cap or hand rails? How did it turn out? Does it look or feel cheap? Is there a high gloss version to mimic a nice varnish job?

I am looking at adding a fuel primer pump to facilitate priming the racor filters and fuel system after a fuel filter change. At the same time I would like to be able to use the new primer pump to polish the fuel and/or transfer fuel in-between the 2 fuel tanks. The new primer pump could also...

Has anybody changed the injector to a smaller size to save lower the fuel burn rate?

Good day all. I have a basic internal space design question. Why do most boats have either stretched vinyl or vinyl covered panels for ceilings and sometimes walls? I have a 1988 67' CPMY. I am contemplating removing the stretched vinyl ceiling and replacing it with painted plywood panels of...

Thanks for your help. I will have to keep searching around for the cockpit water shutoffs. I was just looking at some pictures of my survey and I noticed a blue and red shutoff on the stbd aft wall of the generator room. Maybe that is the shutoff. Like you I almost never get the water...

I do believe you are right about the port bow connection for a raw (salt) water washdown. I do not have a starboard bow connection. So as of now I am assuming that I do not have fresh water washdown functionality. My cockpit has a separate red and blue garden hose connection. I have included...

I have a 1988 - 67' CPMY and I am trying to find the water shutoff(s) for the following connections: 1) aft deck bar sink 2) cockpit hot and cold faucets. 3) Port bow washdown connection I do not see any information about shutoff connections in the manual. Any information would be greatly...

Hello fellow Hatteras owners,Has anyone had issues with monitoring system? My monitoring system on my 1988 67’ CPMY is trying to intermittently go off and sound an alarm. I say trying because the alarm is a low volume and broken up. It’s not a solid, loud tone like it should be. It will sound...

Hey everyone - in an effort to get better fuel economy and therefore greater range, would operating on just one screw help? My thought is instead of operating 2 screws at a low rpm, maybe 1 screw at medium rpm might be more economical and provide for longer range. Also running a single screw...

Anybody ever take their boat to Mexico, Panama, or other Central American country to have major work or refits done? I’m looking to have boat repainted and some internal updates made. Any recommendations?

Sitting in my salon thinking about updating it. Which raises a couple of questions. 1) what are the walls made of?2) are the walls able to be removed? If yes, how?3). Is the headliner able to be dropped and then re-attached to get access to ceiling? I wanna add some more and different lights4)...

On a 89 67’ CPMY where is the waste tank located? Is there gauge? I’ve looked in galley and main hallway where the other tanks are located but don’t seem to see it. Gonna jump in generator room to see if down there.

I have a 1989 67’ CPMY that is new to me. I am trying to fill the water tank(s). However the water just comes out the breather thru hull. Does not seem to be going in the tanks. Any ideas of what would cause this issue?The tank gauge says empty confirmed by no water coming out taps. Just to head...

What is the best way to prime the ac cooling water pumps? The salon/mid berth cooling pump is making a loud vibrating noise. I’m betting air is trapped because it was recently on the hard for 5 months and it lost prime.
