Bought the VRO packing for the 37C with 3/4" shafts, 3/8" just like my manual says. No way it will fit in the compression nut. I measure 3/16" from the shaft to the top of the thread. I suppose someone could have changed the stuffing box in the last 30 years. Am I missing something. Hal P.S...

Our 37C has 1.75" shafts and takes 3/8"square flax. How much (length) do I need? The blueprint shows three rings per shaft. I ask because GFO sells the fiber packing in 24" lengths. Thanks Hal

Access advice Hi.I need to R&R the center tank fuel fill and waste deck fitting/pumpout, port side on a 1979 37C. Do I have to remove the rectangular air vent box on the hull to get access to the clamps? (probably should put in slane vents while I'm at it ;) ) Where are the macerator pumps...

We have a non-functioning Cetrex 701 on our 37C. I can not find any info on the web. Is it a throwaway? Company out of business ect? I note that some older boats like ours list them as equipment. Who repairs the head units? What does the paperclip mean on a thread? How do you plug in a web...

Has anyone heard of this make. I attached an eBay link I think. I have a friend that bought one and swears by it. I have never seen it actually inflated. Just curious. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7223648655 Hal

We have a 1979 Hatteras 37c that carries 330 gallons in the cockpit saddletanks with an additional 90 gallon aluminum tank centerline between two engines. The only "holding tank" is a 35 gallon bladder outboard of the port engine. I have a family of five with a Galleymaid pump which I...

I have been reviewing the threads on battery charger reccomendation.What size is appropriate for a 37C in terms of amps? Has anyone heard of the IOTA charger mentioned on Ebay here? eBay Motors: 45 AMP BATTERY CHARGER RV MARINE REMOTE CONTROL NEW (item 4603921962 end time Jan-20-06 17:12:31...

Does anyone have the discontinued Garmin G chart # GUS 182SL or GUS 184SL they are not using for sale or trade. I need coverage for eastern long island to Block Is. I have Maine to NY #GUS909GL, Cape Cod North #GUSBP15 and Scituate to Block #GUS125XL I do not use.

Happy New Year! I would appreciate some input on my origional plan to develop a maintenance base line for the DD 6-71 TI's we have in our 1979 37C. We brought the convertible down from Winthrop in November and it ran well. Some specs: The 671-TI are Covington factory-rated for 410(crank)...

Does anyone know where the company Skipper or Skippers electronics has gone? They use to have a nice catalogue, review marine electronics, and repair/calibrate sounders ect. I can't find them on the web. Hal

Finally after a decade of dreaming we are Hatteras owners. The Saturday before last after a few misteps we brought a 1979 37C from Winthrop MA to Stonington CT. We ran from 7am to 4:30pm at 19knts and burned 219 gal during the trip. I posted a few pictures in the gallery. The winter will be busy...

First, thank you to everybody on the forum, and especially Tony Daily, for their responsiveness over the years to my quest for a Hatteras. Looking back, I recall that I was initially focused on a 48 Yachtfish, then the 42c, and most recently, the 37C. Of course, I looked at Bertrams, Posts...

Can you transit in a 42C down the NY canal system with a half tower (not tuna)? Power Boat Guide says the clearence is 13'3" but I assume that is without anything on top and what little I could find so far indicates clearence is as low as 15' in some places 20' everywhere else. Thanks Hal

Is there a link to the archived section(and where is it) or is it a question of just using the search function?

Right before our two week vacation to the vineyard we sold our 10 meter Trojan express-bittersweet. I am actively looking for a clean 37' Hatteras with Diesel's. A 42' would also work but they seem to need huge cash infusions. We want to keep the price around $100k but will be flexible for the...

The good news (as far as I'm concerned) is my wife has discounted the Post 42, Bertram 42, and Viking 40. I have always wanted a Hatt and with three kids 11-8 the 42C flybridge is big literally. The problem is I have left myself with no alternatives and all the 42s I have seen are not worth...
