O.K. now we are organized with the HOYC (Hatteras Owners Yacht Club) and have a burgee in design we need a hugh event to kick it off. So I think we should get a chase boat and cruise across to Europe. If we could get a plan together to make 10 kts at 1 NMPG then 20 boats would use about 50,000...

Anyone know any information about these units. Just picked one up, can't find anything on the web. Have fun boating garyd

Getting around to doing the engine room insulation. Took all the old stuff out. That stuff stinks. Going to screw the large removeable floors down. The factory had a grey material on the flats. Sam's may still have that, is there better stuff out there for the flats? I'm sure lots of you have...

Please read HOYC and comment in the sandbar. It's time!

It occured to me that it's time for HOYC. Hatteras Owners Yacht Club. With the folks on this forum we could put together a non-profit corporation, and build it up to be the best thing going for boaters. We could also donate $$$ to grow it. Think in about 100 years with a 1000 slip marina with...

Going to get the liferaft reinstalled on the boat. It used to be on the bow. But I'd prefer to either mount it on the bridge in a easily accessable compartment or in the cockpit. I have room in either location. Is there a reason you see a lot on the bow or is that just where the last bit of...

Everyone that has complimented Bennett is correct. I bought a set of trim dicators a few years back and just got around to installing them. I was 20' short on the wire called Bennett and they sent me enough to complete the job. There was an invoice And I fully expected to pay for the wire. The...

I'm thinking about removing the overflow bottles and just keeping the exchangers topped to about one inch of the top. The overflow hose can just be run into the bilge. I don't use antifreeze just the inhibitors that are not supposed to be toxic. Anybody see a problem with this. It would also...

On my 86 41C there are the set of fuses on either side of the battery selector box. they are the ones you have to use a small blade screwdriver to unscrew. After looking closely they seem to be a cheap product and several of them have recently failed. Has anyone done away with these and gone to...

Anyone know the correct wieght of the Halon system bottle on a 1986 41C. I thought it would be on it somewhere but havn't found it. have fun boating garyd

Time to replace the copper steering lines as they were exposed to salt water and have started to deteriate. While I'm doing this I'd like to rebuild the pressure relief valve. I was wondering if anybody had any experience with this little guy? Have fun boating garyd

Several of these wires were left off when the boat was redone. So on my quest to make everything just right I pulled out the bonding blueprint and looked it over. I was supprized to see so few bonding wires. And also where they did and didn't go. It appears they only go to a metal part that is...

Reading my engine operators manual it referred to a zinc in the raw water pump elbow. I believe this is where you prime it. When I recently took mine out it was not a zinc pencil. Does anyone know if there is or is not supposed to be one in there? thanks and have fun boating garyd

We have a 41C. More than likely the motly crew will be me the admiral and two kids 10 & 11. THe 11 year old girl goes ewck when she sees anything to do with fishing so shes not much help. The boy is gun ho. We do a fair amount of fishing but we would like to target at least a 40 - 60 lb...

I'm still not certain how exactly it fires off. This is in a 1986 41C. Does it fire off automitically? If so what's the trigger the H.A.D.? Does the system monitor have anything to do with activation, before the fact, or just after. I know you can manually operate it and then the delay...

My 12pt is really a 4 pt for now since the engine monitoring is performed by the DDEC. The four Items being monitored is A/c power OFF, Halon discharged, Fire and High bilge level. The system is normally closed ( as someone on the forum informed me THANKS). The test switch is hot ie 12 volts...

Got these back today. Since these are the first I've ever seen on these engines I have no bench mark. So I thought I would throw it out here to see how they compare. Since both engines were very close. I will post the highest of either engine. Maybe we could get a data base of these for...

Since I have DDEC's most of the sytem monitor is not used and in fact I have it completely disconnected. However I was looking at the schmatic and it looks like I could still use some part of it. Is it worth getting this 20 year old monitor back on it's feet or just scrap it and design and make...

Planning Bahamas trip, any advice. We are in the beginning stages of planning our trip. We have a lot of boating experience but not in the Bahamas. We would like to jump off at Stuart and go directly to Walkers Cay. Then proceed down the Abocos to Marsh Harbor and anchor out around Guana Cay...

I was looking at the original Halon system that I removed and feel it might be worth rennovating it and putting it back in the boat. I've removed the 12 pt monitoring system and wouldn't really want that bad boy going off by accident. So I would like to hook it up manually " pull cable" and...
