I’m a 3208 TA owner and I totally agree. I was concerned about Cats prices for parts, just like I was worried about the price of fuel when I first started, trying to figure if I wanted to go slow or fast.
After serviceing my Onan generator I know I made the right choice. Almost four hundred...
Thanks Sky. She is so a beautiful boat. Newest one on the west coast that I know of. North of the border that is. Very few in this neighborhood and it gets a lot of looks.. you guys know how to build a boat.
Here’s some pics,not many interior shots sorry,but she is just as clean inside as out...

I have a 1985 Hatteras, 36 ft. with only one steer station up top. Yesterday while changing a gauge I shorted out a wire and lost all power to my port starter button. Seems like the main power to that side is gone. Other side is ok. My question is where should I be looking to find a blown fuse...
This is a picture of the starboard drive gear from a Twindisc 507 tranny that just turned 33years old.
Apparently worn out for a while but just let go completely in November. I’ll be doing the other side while I’m at it. At first very scary but after I got it pulled back not so much. The work...
Can you paint over the rough surface walls found in the head on a 1985 Hatteras 36 ft.
Wife says she can't get it cleaned and wants to paint it. I said I would ask. Thanks

Tightened the bathroom window on my 1985 36 convertable and broke the plastic part that the wing nut is attached to. Will call Sam's to see if he has one but wanted to ask if anyone has replaced this part before. It has 18 screws holding it on. 2 wing nuts attached to the bottom and the window...
I am about to change my foam air filters on my 3208ta's and want to know if I oil them or put them in dry. If so do you spray them or soak them. Just checking...thanks...Rick
Pulled both aftercoolers on my 3208ta's tuesday and this is what they looked like. Don't know when they were last cleaned and not sure what they should look like. took them to rad shop shop for cleaning. I noticed I don't have the big orange rubber gasket. 1985 models.
I have a couple of vintage 3208's that i think could benefit from these oil purifiers. Has anybody got these things and if so how do you like them. They are made in Florida. I have 3 brand new still in the box T140.
Took an end cap off my heat exchanger Saturday and this is what I found. Cleaned the cap and end of the exchanger,runs cooler. What do you think the other end might look like?
I did the other engine 2 years ago. Had the core dipped the whole nine yards. This was just a quickie
job and it runs...
I've had the 85 Hatt Conv for 2 years and every 7 months I have changed the zincs so far. The
main hull zinc has lasted 1 1/2 years and still going strong. My copper bonding strap is
looking rough in spots but I have a new roll and will attempt to replace it this summer. Just thought I would...
I have a 1985 36' Hatteras Convertible and when I go to take the fresh water tank filler cap off I notice there is air built up when I release the filler cap, not enough to blow the cap off but loud enough to hear it. Today the tank was almost empty and it was very hot outside and it did it...
After hinging radar arch I am not going to put this back on. It is a 1984. I had it checked out and repaired in December 2012. Ready to go. Asking $650. It is in Vancouver BC. Warranty for 2 more months if in the area.
I am about to tackle the crankcase ventilation job and would like to know if this is what you guys call a crap can? I am assumeing it is full of oil and needs to be cleaned out. I stopped by cat today and ordered some parts but they didn't seem to know what this was. They thought it was added by...
