I took on more water than I want to last fall as a result of the housing of my scuppers being cracked from old age. The incoming water went directly to the bilge. I removed them (they're flanged at the stern side and extend through the stern to a cap like piece that is more or less 5200'd...
I need to get resurveyed to bump my insurance coverage from 50k to 100k after my repower. Anyone know someone who would take care of things for me? I know of none at this point so I'm starting from ground zero. Maybe someone on the forum here knows of a good insurance company and surveyor...
Just curious,
I just dropped off my new props (from the repower) to have them prop scanned to class 1 and make sure they are what I think they are as far as pitch ect. I did not have this done before I used them for the repower because they were new out of the michigan box when I got them. I...
I have a question for those of you who know tax stuff. I just bought a house last year and there is a section for energy efficient improvements on the tax form that I don't quite get.
Can I deduct the high efficient gas dryer and the high efficient washer I bought? How about my highly...
Anyone see this yet? I didn't get to the boat show yet...probably won't get to any of them but I'm looking for a plotter. What was it like? Price? I want a large screen plotter. I'm getting old and can't read the small stuff anymore!
I need new ones. Not just the flapper but the entire fiberglass insert that was original to the 1985 32FB. Its like a fiberglass housing then a flapper/scupper made of rubber or something. Is there anything newer or better out there as well? I need to reduce the amount of water coming in the...
I have the diving platform removed off of my 1985 32' Flybridge so that I can replace the scuppers and the framing of the scuppers..(The way the platform is installed keeps you from getting to the screws..
Anyhow...I was considering keeping it off, the diving platform that is...Any thoughts on...
I have no hull drain in my Hat. It may have come with one from the factory but maybe was used as a spot for a thru-hull before I owned the boat. Anyhow, I'm considering putting one in because the water builds up in the bilge over the winter when on the hard. I think the lowest spot in the...
Westerbeke Gas Generator for Sale:
Mid 80’s marine gas generator that has never seen salt water and has original paint and no rust, although a small amount of paint is missing there is no rust. I bought it from a fellow Hatteras owner who kept his boat on a freshwater lake in Alabama. There...
20X18X3-Bladed props for sale 1.5”bore
Came with my boat at purchase. I was told they were nibral but I think they are bronze. I have had them sent out and reconditioned/tuned. Put them on my boat and used them for three trips…then re-powered to diesel. When I did use them they were smooth...
While I was checking on my Hat I met another fellow Hat owner. He had a mid to late 60's model that had a ton of work done on it. Looked awesome. He also had a set of 330b's installed this year as well. He's been having vibration problems. Said he had the props checked (3-bladed nibrals)...
Putem to sleep for about 5 months even though I really did not want to. The temps in Lewes, De dipped down below freezing at 26 last night, which prompted me to head down yesterday and get everything done.
Changed the oil..flushed with freshwater using the Grocco crash valves I installed...
Is there such a thing? I'm looking for something to keep soup ect warm but it has to have a locking lid so whatever is in it doesn't spill while underway.
Anyone have any suggestions? (Can't swing a genny until next season....repowering kills the gadget fund!)
Do any of you have a good source for new throttle cables? I have a 32' Hat Flybridge and need to install new cables because the old ones are getting stiff. Not even sure how long they should be but I'm sure I have Morse controls as probably all of them had from factory.
I just recently had issues with water in diesel. I remedied the issue yesterday but it got me wondering...To maintain a specific rpm and speed with water in your diesel does consumption increase overall or does it not matter? I'm talking about going on a canyon trip par se and having water in...
Which one do you guys suggest for the standard shaft logs that Hatteras uses? One type is 3x the price of the other....I know I used Teflon previously but don't know if I should switch to the gore stuff.
After my repower I noticed my boat had a slight list to the port and on occasion shifted from port to stbd. I looked all over the boat for water where it should not be, ect ect but found no clues about why it does this until I worked my way through the Bennett Trim tab system...which has been...
I know basic maint. on my new cummins diesels...not the extreme stuff yet like I have had with a full rebuild of my gassers. One thing I'm thinking about is what I can do to keep them looking good..especially since they are new? What products do you guys use and what items do you pay attention...
What size are you guys using? I have diesel now and want to replace my battery cables...they're large enough but they are shot from years in the bilge. More a of a safety thing for me.
Another thing...I'm thinking I need at least 100A capacity. That would be 2/0, 2 guage or 2AWG? I know one...
My personal re-power/left over yard sale!
Most of these items are set at a firm cash sale price because I think that the prices are fair for what I have. You may come see them if you wish (I live in Lansdowne, PA) or I may have pictures. Any shipping will be covered by the buyer with the...
