For the past two weeks my Mach 5 fresh water pressure pump has been cycling and at first I thought I was just having trouble bleeding the air out (great pumps but prone to this problem.) Watching a pressure gauge it became clear that there was a leak so next came the task of tracking it down...

Really surprised this hasn't come up as the oddest refit seen on a Hatteras. http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/boatMergedDetails.jsp?boat_id=1678284&ybw=&units=Feet&currency=USD&access=Public&listing_id=76053&url=...

I just hauled for paint and zincs and when servicing my shaft spurs, noticed a significant difference in the spacing between the propeller hub and the strut from one side to the other. The port side has 2" and the starboard has 2 3/4". I see no evidence that the shaft has walked out of the...

David, we have the same boat. Here is what mine looked like when I bought the boat. I have made some changes on electronic installations etc. and am presently completeing refinishing the woodwork, but this is relatively unmolested. Numerous models share a common helm station and the various...

Over the weekend my stbd main water pump (coolant, not raw water) started leaking around the front plate that is held in with a 6" or so clip. About an inch or so of one side of the clip seems to have snapped off. Seems to be an easy fix but I wanted to ask the detroit guys here whether there...

My old 24v robertson pump is leaking fluid and I have it removed. Simrad is no longer servicing this model but can sell me a seal kit as the valve body is the same as newer models. Can anyone who has done this offer up some guidance? Is it a PITA job or an easy one? Just wondering if you need...

Blue Sea has this cool calculator on their website that lets you input the circuit and load requirements on any wiring job. It automatically calculates wire guage etc. It even does so for 12-24 and 34 voltages. http://circuitwizard.bluesea.com/

Hey Sky I am planning on having some moldings run out of teak that I want to install around the master berth and in companionways that will allow me to put some led rope lighting an inch or so above the deck. I think this will give it an OEM look, hide the lighting from above etc. Just need...

I know this is a tough question because of all the possible "while you are in there's" but I was wondering if the collective wisdom here could weigh in on the cost of pulling, cleaning and installing with new hoses, gaskets etc intercoolers on a 500 hp 8-92? Too lazy to do it myself and I want...

Hope the images attached, PM me if you want them emailed. The Good: The boat is in my opinion the best tender on the market and while she fits (with a bit of overhang as you can see) and worth the extra weight if you are cruising blue water and laying at anchor a lot. For me she is just too...

This may belong in the buy/sell section but I am really just trying to figure out what it may be worth before commiting to an upgrade. I have a Davit from a company Lauderdale Davits that was installed in 1997. I recently had Dutton Lainson rebuild the winch and I replaced the wire cable with...

I recently had installed a new suite of Garmin 5000 series electronics including the 5212 in the pilothouse and 5008 on the bridge along with the HD radar. I am adding a Garmin "smart" transducer for speed, depth and temp as well as an aft facing camera to the system. So far i like everything...

Geez, just realized I put this in the wrong section sorry.

In what will hopefully be the last system upgrade for the season, I am putting a lighter, smaller and brighter searchlight up on my new hardtop and so have removed the OEM one. (I didn't have the patience to refurb mine the way Sky did) Any interest in my old one let me know. It needs chrome...

I just bought a new wider Marquipt ladder so my old one is up for sale. It is an older model without any non skid on the treads. Comes with a mahogany hand rail. The bad news is the bottom step needs to be replaced or repaired. two of the for fittings that recieve the caster wheels are bent...

My 13"x24" port lights are pretty much toast. 2 of the dogs are broken and whatever that finish is on them is cracking off. I am not crazy about them to begin with and am even less so now that I know they cost 1700 bucks ea to replace. Anyone have an alternative? New Found Metals has some that...

I have: 2) Groco 2500 2.5" sea strainers with new baskets 1) Advanced Hydraulics 110 volt Hydraulic pump and reservoir (refitting my seabrace stabilizers with gear driven pump and custom made reservoir etc.) 1) OEM geard driven PTO Air Compressor (removed from port side 8v92) 1) Furuno SSB...

I just installed the new hardtop and it is time to make some decisions on electronics. I currently have a Furuno RDP-139 with a 4 ft open array. I like the unit but like everyone else, am very impressed with the functionality of the Garmins. If I were to switch and buy new garmins, I am...

I have some of this listed in other posts but I am going to list everything I have below in a last effort to unload it. I am in the middle of refit many different systems including water, fuel sanitary coolant etc. I have many used parts that I have no interest in storing and am listing it...
