I am looking for an 8v53 running take out. I need to Replace an engine in a 41' Convertible.

Search "hatteras yachts" on ebay and you still might find a few blueprints for sale. I bought a couple yesterday and thought I would pass it along. Good wall hangers.

Looking for some advice on Insurance for my 1965 41' Hatteras Convertible. I have insurance through Charter Lakes and underwritten by Markel. We went through Hurricane Harvey in Port Aransas, TX. I went above and beyond to secure and prepare the boat for the storm. (Because she means a lot...

Thank you for the Replies. Yes it is the small stainless part that the acorn nut tightens down on. The hatch adjuster is very similar to this one: The originals usually have a chrome wingnut instead of the black knob. Mtadamek

Looking for an original hatch adjuster circa 1965 for a 41' convertible. Need all the parts. Also the small chrome tabs that go on the flybridge ladder. It is the piece that is between the teak step and the acorn nut. Acts as a washer, but also keeps the teak from breaking out under...

I have a technical question about Detroit governors. 41 hatt with 8v53's rebuilt by my father. Engines have limiting speed gov. Original engines, but may have had some mods done over the years. Does anyone know if hatteras ever put these on Detroit's from the factory. All the marine engines...

Does anyone know the specs on the original props on a 1965 41' convertible with 8v53's and twin disc gears 1:1.97 gear ratio. Thanks, Michael Adamek

I have a 1965 41 conv. with 8v53's recently overhauled. Boat has 24x24 nibral props. I am only turning 23-2400 rpm's on the pins. After many hours troubleshooting, we believe it is the props. What can I do with the props to get the rated 2800 rpm's out of the engines. What are the pro's and...

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried using a bag to cover props and rudders to reduce fouling. We have to scrape the running gear on our boat everytime we use it. The majority of the time is spent on the props. Strainers and thruhull don't take much time at all. Stuts, shafts, and rudders...

I have 2 recently overhauled 8v53's in my 41' conv. It is blowing quite a bit of oil in the crap cans. These were reworked and I have 3 lines on both inboard and outboard cans. There seems to be a lot of oil blowing out of the cans breathers. No check valves, I was told naturals did not have...

Just wondering what kind of stringer system an old 1965 41' Hatteras would have. Is it hollow, cored with wood, cored with foam...Structural or non structural. Thanks

Just wondering if I am doing the right thing. We have been closing all of our seacocks after we use the boat. It can go for a month or longer with them closed. Will this cause any type of premature fouling of the heat exchanges, or anything else I might not be thinking of. The reason I am...

Cancel this post please Anybody have any of these or know where I can get these.

Just wondering if anyone would know the answer to this question. I have a 1965 41' conv. with twin detroit 8v53's. When I was looking for information on governors my serial numbers came up with those engines having variable speed governers on them. They have limiting speed gov. on them now...

I have 2 Brand new Northstar 660 combo's for sale. I received these under a warranty dispute with Northstar over some fuel flow meter displays. These include the external gps antenna, transducer, cabling, and instructions. I am asking $900.00 a piece for them. They are really great units if...

Just thought I might pass on some information. When we were doing our restoration of our 65 41' c we needed a engine alarm system. We did not re use any of the original hatteras panels. I ended up finding www.chetcodigital.com. They make a great little panel that works fantastic. You can...

Just wanted to share a good experience with you about insurance. I just finished a refit on a 65 41' Convertible and was shopping for insurance. I tried all the regular places and no one even wanted to talk to me due to the age of the vessel. I had a current survey, with no major problems. I...

Any opinions on what to do with a slightly bent shaft on a 41' convertible? Port shaft is bent just enough to be able to see it when running. No vibration, alignment is within specs, just a little wobble. I was just wondering if I should haul it and fix it now, or wait till next summer, or...
