I plan to change my engine bilges pumps and switches very soon I have several best practices questions? I will pull everything out and do a good cleaning and then put all new equipment in. I currently have Rule 2500's on standard float switches with no high water alarms. I was thinking new pumps...

I currently have a shurflo dual pump system, but it's pretty noisey. It seems that one of the pumps is louder than the other. I don't have a reference if it normal or not. It's very annoying at times. Would a Groco style Sr. or Jr system be a quiet alternative? I already have a new 1 gallon...

A picture of what I have is attached here. Not sure what I need or where to find it? Thanks

My late 80's 52C has a newer Whale 6 gallon water heater that was installed by the last owner. Looking at it seems too small and most of all it doesn't provide consist water temperature for showers. I just cleaned out a large water maker outboard of my starboard engine so I have some room to...

When I bought my 87 52c the forward 300 gallon tank was dry. On the 1500 mile trip home I filled her up along with the aft tank. Now that I am home, I started running on the forward tank for the 1st time. My question is should I continue to use both tanks in some kind of rotation or empty the...

So much to ask and share, but so little time. Here a few photos to share.

#1. Stained deck at rail to deck area. This is the only place like this I have. It is right behind the fuel fill. I was thinking about removing screws, sealing with 5200, and cleaning up as best as possible?

This big cable is behind my salon entertainment electronics and has a rca style adapter on the end. Anyone know what it is? Thanks

While I realize I need to check wire sizes, breaker sizes, and plumbing. Couldn't I replace my pull knobs to momentary push button, and wire to the Raritan 24v head? Thanks

My boat came with one 25' 50/250 cordset. I would like the ability to reach at least 50'. Would you buy another 25' or go ahead and grab the 50'. Thanks

1988 52C with 4-Cruisair units. I recently flushed my raw water AC system and I feel that it's pretty clean, not perfect but acceptable for good flow. After a recent strainer change, I had a hard time getting proper water flow. After a couple of attempts, she got going. 1. I took a look at...

I have read most of the posts here regarding some of the conversions, but I would think a wireless sender and an cell phone app and or small digital readout would do the trick. Since I have the 3/4-7/8 full freshwater tank leaks this is pretty high on the repair list and the tank repairs on the...

While I have many other concerns with my 88 52C that are more pressing, I do have a AC unit that needs service very soon. Since a 10lb bottle of R22 is $600 I am thinking about doing conversions as I start servicing my units. I am hearing about a little loss in efficiently but the M099 is a...

I some places in my fresh water system that drip/leak and are nest of connections. I plan to replace them with pex. There are a few questions I am researching.1. I was told that stainless crimp clamps are considered to have more corrosion resistance than the brass compression rings?2. Brass vs...

Well, so much to tell with so little time, but y'all deserve a quick update. I will post pictures on Hatteras FB group and keep the conversation here. First, I want to thank you all because all the years of reading various posts here was invaluable in so many ways on the trip. From Duck Bills to...

1988 52c with Cats with HOF history.

Well I had All Fire of Florida out to the boat and after seeing that the bottom of the tank on the back against the bulkhead was rusty she started talking about all kinds of option, but she admitted she didn't know what to do, but would call me back later that day. Well I called back and left a...

Does anyone know of an company in the area that services/recertifies KIDDE Halogenated systems? A web search returns All Florida Fire Equipment and I plan to call them on Monday. Any other companies that service that area?

I am looking for someone that might be interested in taking a look at a boat for me and reporting back with an unbiased opinion? I am tired of traveling at the moment, and I plan to stay home for a couple weeks or so. Thanks, Eddie

Well some are sinking and one flipped from the ice today. I would have thought the weight would have been engineered into the design.
