1978, 53' YF - I have had the boat about a year now and have not had many opportunities nor the need to get it up on plane. Each time I have done so though, the forward head appears to lose the supply pump prime requiring me to break the discharge connection at the thru hull valve to finally...

I have a 1978 53' YF that has caused me significant troubles due to poor fuel quality and poorly designed FloScan installation, since I bought her 18 months ago. I won't bore you with all of the issues but leave it to say I have been placed into a position multiple times where the engines have...

I recently had the original spotlight on a 78' vintage 53' YF rechromed. Prior to disassembly, it worked fine mechanically except the bulb was burned out. Like a fool, I did not take pictures of the mechanics prior to disassembly. Now, it looks beautiful, lights up fine with a new bulb, but...

I figured I'd start a new thread to make it cleaner to read, so here's the deal: I have reserved 10 slips at the Tower Park Marina for arrival on October 10 departing on the 12th for $10/night. When you arrive, you can go to the main desk and register your boat and pay your fee. The reservation...

The 1978 53' YF I have has had the stove/oven and microwave replaced about 10 years ago. The microwave is mounted above the stove/oven. I have discovered that when they installed the mircowave, they did not make any provisions to duct the microwave's exhaust fan. This is an assumption since...

Last time I brought up the anchor, the windlass stopped working. No up, no down. And, it was not under any strain other than the weight of the anchor as it was coming up. I've had the boat about 18 months and have used the anchoring system at least a dozen times with no problems until this...

I wanted to ask the moderators or admins of the forum an etiquette question. I work part time for Walker Engineering, the company that manufactures the Walker Airsep Products. Since most Hats are built with engines that have Airseps on board when they leave the factory, I thought it would be of...

My engines have the original canister style oil filters that always create a mess when changing the oil. Anyone aware of and or know where I can find an adapter kit to convert them to the more modern spin-on style? And, has anyone done the conversion before that can provide some do's and...

I recently purchased the Titled vessel and reading through the owners manual, it indicates there are 2 fresh water tanks on this boat. I can only find one filler on the starboard side, on the cockpit coaming. Can anyone advise as to where the 2nd tank filler is or does one overflow to the...

I just purchased a 1978, 53' MY. The previous owner was not very helpful with information on how systems were used or where shutoff valves were located. My questions center around that topic. I am hoping that there is another owner of the same vintage of boat that can help out. 1. I can not...
