I bought this bulletproof Hatteras OEM DC-DC converter [32V input and 12V output 10 amps] from Max Marine Electronics in 2019 to replace a water-damaged unit, which I later repaired before I could even install this one. It was sold "used and tested" by them (see label) which I paid $105 back...

From a different thread: Does anyone now in a Safe Harbor Marina have any input after the takeover? DRB

In the marina where I am right now, I observe lots of boats turning 90 degrees to come in since I'm not too far from the entrance which is perpendicular to the main channel. Recently, like two or three times, I have seen boats coming in and hear their bow thrusters. My question is: do people...

This is an image looking directly down the transom of a 1970 53' MY at what appears to be the port trim tab. Some sort of recent event seems to have dislodged the (non-working) trim tabs placing one askew. I can only think the entire piano hinge must have let go at the pivot point and it is...

Hatteras was generous with outfitting our vessels with spare props and shafts. My 52C still has the backup shaft, but the spare propellers were not with the boat when I bought it. Recently I scored a new set (a story which I will share later). Could someone kindly tell me where to stash them...

All, For those who have converted to the small form factor GC8 eight volt golf cart batteries (NON-Trojan!) there are a few NOS Flow-Rite systems on eBay. Basically, if you have the most common 2.5" cell spacing (US Battery) but not Trojan (2.3") the kits have enough parts for your eight...

Sadly, it seems many lives were lost early this morning on a charter dive boat; 34 missing at last count. I have visited this area several times, and our member RonNP was moored at a nearby harbor for years. The crew of 5 were up early 3:30AM preparing breakfast when a fire broke out (possibly...

Please revisit Rusty's thread and read my post #73 on page 8; your hull number is probably wrong. https://www.samsmarine.com/forums/showthread.php?31780-Hull-numbers-wanted/page8 I understand the privacy concerns, but it would be useful to start a database of all the known hulls depending upon...

Just posting a very striking image that I came across used as background for an Indonesian marine supply company. Turns out to be a Kota Kinabalu sunset from someplace called Sutera Harbor near there. Photography credit to Hong Kong-based Jo Schmaltz, and where you can get a larger version...

Hi, I listed this on eBay a few days back and belatedly thought to inform the forum. https://www.ebay.com/itm/142931875354 Due to shipping, it would be ideal for West Coast guys, but can go anywhere. Will do a deal with HOF member if winning bidder. DAN

Some of you may recall a tragic accident to one of our members called King Size about 8 years ago. Jeff was an infrequent poster but a lifelong boater who had a 38C in the Chicago area. He was returning from a family boat outing on the 4th of July when he was rear-ended by a semi at a red...

Recently Captain Tony started a thread about a recent fish kill. http://www.samsmarine.com/forums/showthread.php?27560-Dead-Fish. I wryly remarked that the title reminded me of a local drinking hole and restaurant named The Dead Fish (any vacationers to San Francisco may have eaten at the Pier...

In the "For Sale" section I posted an Ideal windlass: http://www.samsmarine.com/forums/showthread.php?27568-NOS-Ideal-V3c-windlass-Part-1 Now I have a philosophical question for you guys: how does one value NOS stuff? [don't say "what the market will bear, etc."] It is apparently brand new...

I am selling a new-old-stock Ideal windlass with wildcat. The unit is a model ACW size 3 (which was later renamed V3C), and suitable for boats 38-48’ according to the manufacturer. It is a 12V reversible model and seems to be complete—what is pictured is all I have; no relays or switches for...

Somebody mentioned manatees in another thread, and it brought to mind this recent story about sea lions, which are an issue on the West Coast: http://komonews.com/news/local/finally-a-solution-astoria-sea-lions-petrified-of-air-dancers http://www.pier39.com/home/the-sea-lion-story/ The video...

When I bought my boat, the windlass motor was missing. The unit is an Ideal V5C and the previous mechanics had been in the process of removing it, right up the part where they drop it out of the deck. But the work done previously is pretty poor, so I doubt their capability--I may repair it in...
