I can't seem to figure out how to do a link. Sooo, google MYEVERETTNEWS.COM. Just really good stills of this sat fire and how ugly burnt boats can be. I was on my boat about 5 docks inbd when I smelled an acrid odor, like elec wiring burning. I popped an ER hatch instinctivly. I then notice a...

The link to Deep River Traders reveals a very limited catalog of Hatteras attire. There used to be jackets,model-specific tees etc.,etc,etc. I am sure a call to them will enable one to obtain all of the old stuff, but how do we remember what all of the old stuff was? Direct internet search just...

Got to replace the cables on my 75' 31'EC. Throttles are real stiff and "notchy". I have read past threads and see some usefull input. At this point I intend to go for FB only. Have e-mail into Sam's to see if they know lengths. So my questions: 1) Are the green-jacket cables typical of my era...

sort of surprised that I am first to mention. wow, very happy that some 4500 souls survived. As a Deadliest Catch fan, the seas that this ship encountered made Bering sea look like a mill-pond. As has been stated by some in past threads in this forum, this ship looks top-heavy, and should just...

I know, I know there was just a thread on autopilots. I will try to not go over old info. From that thread, I saw a preference for Simrad/Robertson. I have been checking a Consumer's Marine catalog because they offer so many choices (Sitex, Furuno, Raymarine, Simrad and Garmin which appears to...

Nothing earth-shattering here, but I see it's a slow day at the forum...so- I received my new strut from Sam's for my 31' EC. No real hurry on the haulout as the existing bent and twisted unit is a fuel consumption issue, not a structural or safety issue. I will be collecting the stuff I need at...

As used by Hatteras in mid 70's. Gauges don't have numbers but have "green" and "red" zones. I don't know the manufacturer. I put in a 100 amp Balmar and need to plug the hole where I removed the ammeter. The voltmeters were typically installed at the second station (flybridge). No luck in Sam's...

I believe the tall seats (approx 36") for helm and companion seats were only used on the 75'/76' 31EC's. Hoping someone has saved one to the garage or attic! Gary

My Marine Power 454's have the typical crank driven raw water pumps. I noticed that the port pump wobbled as evidenced by the hoses vibrating and feeling it when you put a hand on the front of the pump (carefully!). So thinking PO blues I removed the pump and cleaned all surfaces- crank damper...

My old fishfinder is about ready to puke. I intend to purchase a stand-alone dual frequency color fishfinder of the under a thou' variety. Two questions- 1) Furuno and Northstar both have candidates. I know Furuno has an excellent reputation but have not heard much about Northstar. The Northstar...

I traced a wet bilge area to overflow from the hot water tank pop-off valve. It seems that each cycle from cold to fully heated produces about 1/2 pint. This occurs from either AC power or engine water loop. So, one could pipe this directly overboard or into a nearby sump to keep the bilge dry...

Hello all, I am seeking opinions- I have a 1975 Hatteras 31'EC with flybridge. Current power is 1992 Marine power 454's with quadrajets. At 1700 hrs they are strong runners and produce .80 nmpg @ 23kts cruise (2800 rpm) w/full load- per flowscans. The original 150 gal frp tank has not seen E10...

It showed up in the local paper- no way was I in the market- now I want it! Is in YW in Everett, Wa (I can't seem to copy a link). Saw it today and it is a gem. It has transferable covered moorage in the pole position @ $340/month. Gasser w/big blocks and original glass tank. The owner (28...

Hey, lets try to keep these things out of the Pacific. John is hurting tourism on the Mexican coast. But the real attention-getter is the piece I just read on Wake Is. Winds of 155 mph with gusts to 190 were recorded before all the instruments broke. Can you imagine the seas? Fortunately, they...

Looks like a slow day on the website---so here we go. Yep, seems that muskrats crawled into exhaust outlets of 39' Bayliner, ate thru a hose and sank the boat at the dock! The bow pulpit caught on the dock and held the boat at a 45 deg angle. Harbor patrol divers apparently plugged the exhaust...
