I have Navgen 18 on my boat installed around 2002. Great unit with Isuzu engine and marathon electricals. No complain with the generator Over the years I have often recommended norpro here on the forum but can no longer do that There has been some changes at Norpro and their customer service...

I ve been trying to come up with a solution to redo the lower helm in my 53 as the original one is just way to big and bulky sticking out way too much Spend a few hours taking out all the old wiring and gauges and decided to get rid of the hinged monster altogether. Instead i am mounting the...

Just finished pulling all the wiring, gauges, etc from the FB and in the chases and came up with this gem, all wrapped up in dried out cracking electrical tape. I don't now if it's original to the boat.. I have found that same duplex grey cable elsewhere on board and considering it was in the...

Finalizing some of the last details before hauling out in august for the yard work and repower from 8V71Ns to factory reman Cummins C series. What size trim tabs were used on the later 53s with turbos... Bennett recommends 54x12.

I have installed two ProMariner ProNautic on my 53, one is a 12v30amp and the other one a 24v 30amp. They are "smart" chargers with three output For now the 2430 is just charging a new house bank consisting a two 4Ds. In the future I may add a second bank which would be the same The 1230 is...

I guess I m either trying to re invent the wheel or to think out of the box ... Using a little DC blower to extract heat from the ER doesn't really do anything... blowing air directly from outside isn't a great idea as it just brings a ton of corrosion which I don't want to do on new reman...

Ran into this topless old gal yesterday... Not sure if that's a 50 or 53 but not something you see everyday. Too is covered with solar panels, no wing doors, big boat style anchor storage. Homeported in St. Louis. Notice the larger front windows. Was that a 50 design? The 53 windows don't...

Another thing on my long to do list... replacing the port side panel by the wing door. It was badly rotted, paint bubbling, etc. hatteras used two sheets of plywood with a thin glass layer and in typical 70s fashion ... a bunch of screws I built a new one used two layers of 5/8 divinicel...

I m having th hullof my 53 polished and waxed right now and I m amazed at how well the awl grip is coming back with a nice deep shine. Boat was rolled and tipped in the mid 90s and I had let it go way too long. Forgiving stuff!! The gold stripe though will need to be redone has some sections...

We owners of early 53s have been cursed with an emergency hatch on the aft deck instead of having two large hatches on the transom. Mine has been leaking, corroding, flaking for years and I finally got to the point where I couldn't stand it anymore ... Ripped it out, cut the top skin an extra...

Since I decided to switch my AC system to 220v chillers after I had started electrical work, I had to tweak my new electrical panel to accommodate a 220v sub panel Here is the result... D.C. Panel at the top, AC panel right under with 3 sub panels. 120v house, 120v air handlers and 220v...

I m trying to decide what to do about my 47 year old copper tubing for the Hynautic steering system... while I like the ole "if it ain't broken don't fix it" some sections in the ER show sign of age. Running new copper piping isn't going to be easy as there as some sections where securing the...

Finding more scary stuf as I keep ripping old wiring. This is the wiring that used to cross the genset room, these splices connected the stbd and port shore power and electric panel, 50amps... apparently they split open the brass butt connectors when crimping with some strands coming out and...
