I have a NewMar 32-12-25 step down transformer that powers my electronics on the bridge. The output (12v) is wired to a dedicated panel by the engine room door with seperate breakers for all the electronics on the bridge. When all the electronics are on (two VHF's, chartplotter, sonar and radar)...

NEMA signal kept going in and out, thought it would be an easy fix, not so much. Spent most of the day sorting wires and making it right. Problem is I have a JRC radar, Furuno digital sounder, two VHF's and a Garmin plotter that have all different color coded wires. I wonder if one garmin gps is...

This is off the access panel from my onan. I need to order six of them but everybody I show it to does not know the "technical" name. If I could find out what its called at least I can Google it. Chris Superior Nights 53C

I have a Garmin 2010C, I know a oldie but a goodie but it still works great. Looking for a map/chart of North Channel, St. Marys and Lake Superior. Most of the sites I go to say a lot of the software for the 2010 has been discontinued. Thought I would take a shot to see if any one has one there...

I got a 15kw onan in my 53C. While it always has been a little smokie It has always produce the correct voltage until the last time I went to use it this summer. I started it and while letting it warm up notice the output voltage had jumped from normal 220 to a little over 250v. Checked output...

This winter I pulled a bad injector from my Onan and had it rebuilt, of course now after several months I went to install it and forgot how the sequence of the gaskets go on the injector. I have one thin copper, one heat sheid and two thick spacers. My Onan manual does not show it. I guess I...

I put a new thimble and shackle on my back up anchor and after braiding a new end what is the best way to finish the loose ends? Chris Superior Nights 53C

I have to replace the switch for my GM windlass. Its a GM switch one direction up only. My question is can I add a second switch for power down and is it just a matter of reversing the polarity of the motor? I am replacing the switch because a recent survey showed a slight elevation in moisture...

A good friend has decided to upgrade from a 50 Dancer to a convertible style boat in the upper 50's. Since I really like spending other people's money I went boat shopping with him. We made appointments to view last Saturday a 55 and 58 Viking and a 57 Ocean. They ranged from 2000 to 2004 and...

On our last day of vacation coming home on the last leg(84mi) I noticed a little smoke from the port engine while on plane(1950rpm). I slowed down to idle and went into the engine room to switch fuel filter over thinking maybe I had a clogged filter. Back to the bridge, brought the rpm's back up...

Quick question on rudder alignment. I tried to adjust the rudders this past weekend and the only adjustment I could find is the bar that goes between the two rudder arms. I could not get enough adjustment out of this bar, more like for fine tuning, not for a greater movement which I need. Is...

According to the specs on Yachtworld this 2008 has triple 1800hp cats! I did not know that Hatteras even ventured to build something like this. I wonder what the fuel burn at cruise on this would be? That said if you can afford a new 77' hatt fuel is not a concern. Builder: Hatteras LOA: 77'...

I noticed yesterday while walking around the boat that the rudders appear to be out of alignment. While standing in-line with shafts for reference I noticed that the port rudder was straight in line with the shaft, however the starboard rudder was turned out maybe 1-2". I had noted before I put...

I have a 53C, 1980 and am looking to replace my current teak platform with a fiberglass one. (an incident with a dock and a broken trans lever took care of the teak one) Any leads for a new one or used would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Chris Superior Nights 53C

I have been looking to upgrade my davit to a newer style low profile. I found a picture of one but I cant tell what brand it it is? Hopefully if the picture uploads!!! somebody can tell who makes it. Chris Superior Nights 53C

Does anybody know a source for the rubber gasket on the standard porthole OEM windows?

Some of you will remember all the problems I had with my 15kw Onan so I wont go into the long story, lets just say after chasing down a whole bunch of little problems I ended up rebuilding the top end this winter. Now it starts immediately with just a little bit of glow plugs. After warm up its...

I got 892's w/Allison's. My port trans shifts immediately however Sb side takes 2 sec, both forward and reverse. Last year both were a little slow and I changed fluids and filters and port works fine but the SB side is still slow. This weekend I noticed that pressure in the SB trans was running...
