And then we put in new carpet and furniture ... I also got an Edgestar ice maker that matches the dimensions of the original. I will post pictures of that as soon as it is in. http://a.co/d/6kckUdZ

The boat came with the original Hatteras furniture in the back... Hard to see in the pic, but the cushions have mold on them. I thought about redoing the cushions and repainting the frames, but the furniture is pretty short. So we took it all off, as well as the ice maker, and the deck...

Is there a way to drain the fresh water tanks without using the 32v water pump? Some sort of drain valve?

Here is a picture of the final result using Easy-Off. Close, but no cigar.:)

I managed to pull 38 HINs from that source for AM model boats. I only pulled numbers that were complete and began with "HATAM". Which is the model designator for a 53' MY. From the HIN you can determine the serial number (what we have been calling the hull number) and the year and month of...

We managed to tough it through the painting. There were only two issues, one an inconvenience, the other a back breaker. The inconvenience is stirring the paint. I finally got an stirrer attachment for a drill. The back breaker was that the boat was blocked too low. I asked the dock master if...

Do most of you wax after polishing with Finesse It? Also, any recommendations on size and brand of polisher? My son and I are wrapping up the bottom paint today (started yesterday). I saw a few other boats this size blocked about 3 feet off the ground. I think I am going to ask for that next...

My boat has a Wood Freeman autopilot that allegedly works (haven't had a chance to test it) but looks pretty old, and even if it does work, it seems too much trouble, and I don't want to rely on ready-to-break-at-any-moment stuff. I don't have an immediate need for it, and down the road I will...

My boat came with an Eisenglass enclosure for the aft deck, and it is in pretty good shape. I removed it today to clean everything and I really like the aft deck open, I also like the way the yacht looks with it off. It can be rolled up, but it is kind of a pain to do so. Almost easier to slide...

Thanks Sky. However, I didn't see transformers in the gen room. Also, the AC panel is reading a solid 240, even with the A/C units on. So, either there are transformers somewhere on this boat, or a 100+ pedestals that say 208v are wrong.:) But, I think the issue is as suggested. The element is...

While on generator, my water heater works fine, but on shore power, it trips the circuit breaker. I thought it worked fine at one of the marinas we stayed at on the trip down, but at our home marina, it trips the circuit breaker. The crew had noticed this on the way down here as well. I also...

They stopped at Telemar last night. Will be to the port before noon.

Don't ask me how the Dinghy stayed on during the crossing.:)

The showers on our 53 MY have switches and red lights. Are the switches to turn on the sump pumps? And when do you turn them off, or do they go off once the sump is drained and the red light goes off? I told the crew to turn on the pump when the start taking a shower and turn them off when the...

How easy is it to enter Clearwater at night? Kind of racing some weather in the gulf and that puts us coming into Clearwater at night.

Here it is hooked up on my table ... It can handle 8 extensions, each extension has its own number, 601, 602, etc, and #88 rings all extensions. I am going to add this to one of the outside lines to give me a free google voice phone number so that I can call the boat (or call from the...

A question to those who have bought the manuals for their boat from Hatteras. Do they include the mechanical drawings, or just the printed pages? They have the manuals for my boat, and they come in two parts, the manual and the electrical diagrams. I am wondering if that includes all of the...

We finally stayed on our 53' Hatteras over the weekend and things went well. It is a 1978 53' MY with aft deck. It is a single owner (well, two now) fresh water under cover. The boat is still in Missouri but will be heading down here (Port Canaveral) in two weeks. It was originally due here...

I need to replace the shower heads in a 1978 53' MY. I assume they are just standard fittings. Any suggestions? The current heads are clogged because of hard water at its current location. Unfortunately, the boat isn't here and I will be visiting it next weekend one last time before it is...

On a 1978 53 MY, do regular twin sheets fit the master (twin birth) and guest room twin mattresses?
