http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1973/Hatteras%26quot%3Bclassic%26...--2319209/Emeryville/CA/United-States I've lived on her for 2 years but moving on land and wanting a smaller boat again. Surveyed in 2009, she's sound. Original Detroit 8V71T's have approx. 3000 hrs, are slow to start when...

I had a mechanic out on 12/20 to flush the port engine raw water with ridlyme. It hasn't run since as the mechanic gave up. Another mechanic came out, would not really tell me what he did but got the engine started. It ran for about 15 minutes after he left. He doesn't have any clear ideas...

I have a mechanic who has given up, so I hope there's an idea for the next mechanic. I have started this 8V71, with low compression, almost every week for the past 2 years of ownership. She usually starts to catch after the 3rd try, with the outside temp in the low 50's. The yacht broker I...

I am trying to learn to do some of the lighter maintenance and still go to work. I've read some links on flushing the HE and Intercooler but can't seem to understand if an adequate flushing can me done by just using the zinc ports. A mechanic just quoted me $1000 per engine to remove each heat...

I have a 1973 53 MY with 8V71T's. Have had her about 6 months, and slowly fixing her up. Usually we go out and I run her at 1250 rpm, cruise at 9 knots. Pushed up up to 1650 rpm but she ran up to 190 degrees and I pulled back. The impellers were just changed with new zincs. I checked out...

I had a guy come out and install a couple new impellers, engines temps were running about 162-165 degrees at 700rpm. While there, he installed 3 new pencil zincs on each engine and now they run about 10 degrees higher at around 750 rpm, about 172-175. The new zincs are approximately 4" long...

I bought my 53 MY in March and getting through the list. The horns/wipers didn't work and it turned out that the compressor was ok but that the water separator was broken and the bowl is missing. It has been bypassed and the horns blast like a train and the wipers work. I was reading the...

I need to tighten up the throttle cables and replace burnt out instrument bulbs on my 1973 53 MY. it looks like the helm is held in place by 4 bolts with wing nuts, sort of. will the entire helm tilt forward if i remove the nuts? i don't want to cause damage by pulling out wires, etc, just...

I have just bought a 1973 53 MY. neither the air horns or wipers work. i ran both engines but the compression tank in the port engine room shows no pressure. any ideas are appreciated, this is all new to me. my silverton has 12v air horns, wipers. thanks.

Bought my 53 MY a few weeks ago. The wipers and air horn do not work but the windshield washer does. I don't understand anything about the systems or how to begin troubleshooting. what i do know is that there are 3 rotary nobs on the lower side of the upper cabinet, over the helm. if i turn...
