I1972 Hatteras Yachtfish, twin Detroit 871's.
I found a new 32 volt marine charger with only 20 amps not the 30 amps I see here elsewhere.
Is 20 amps enough?
The drain, actually partly under the wing door frame, is always clogging up whenever there is a lot of rain. How have others fixed this problem?
I found an old post where, on a yachtfish, they put scuppers before the drain under the wing doors.
Does anyone have any pictures of how they did it?
My starting batteries were low because someone removed the shore plug while some items were on and inverter drained the batteries. I finally charged the batteries, but what is the procedure to use the parallel switch if batteries are too low to start?
In process of selling my 1972 58' Hatteras Yachtfish. Buyer wants to see the hull number etched somewhere on the boat. I can not find it on the upper right corner of the transom.
Any 1972 Yachtfish owners out there know where else it may be?
Six years ago, when I was actively working on restoring my 1972 58' Yachtfish, I removed the searchlight and gave it to L.B. Harvey to rebuild. Cost $1500 to rebuild. Receipt available. Yes, he is very expensive.
The searchlight stayed in my garage and was never installed. I no longer have the...
One of the 871's in my 58' Hatteras began looking loosing water on a recent cruise. It was not leaking anywhere I could see
I have been adding 50/50 anti freeze. Even when the boat sits for awhile. I have to add 1-2 gallons. I can see where there is a light green color in the bilge water under...
has anyone switched from a engine room split system to a self contained 16000 btu unit in the salon area? If so, what were the major steps, your results and cost?
Installing mounts flush on a 58' Hatteras Yachtfish Does anyone know the thickness of the fiberglass hull. I am mounting on the hull side. Appreciate helpful hints.
I have looked at the NOAA maps, but they don't seem to show a clear entrance. When I drove by in my car during the show I saw many many large boats in there.
Mechanic said time to test the work done on the gen. Started gen 10am on Saturday, went out and spent the weekend in a cove with gen running until 6 pm on Sunday. While in the cove and when I returned, very hot water would run from the cold water side in the galley for about two minutes then...
A friend of mine recently purchased a 1980 58' Hatteras Yachtfish and asked me where he might find controls for the cockpit. I have seen them on some Yachtfish models while I was shopping years ago. He just loves to fish and often goes out for days by himself. Any help would be appreciated...
I read an old post from 2005 that someone had the blueprints containing the actual wiring diagrams for the Rayline 41020. Unfortunately, they were a guest and not a member. But you never know. Does anyone know the wiring matches to connect the searchlight and the control. I thought I remembered...
the oil pan on my 871 has rotted out, can't weld or use jd weld. For a week I have tried to locate a oil pan for this engine that has a dipstick option on both sides. I am not a mechanic and realize one side is used connecting to a hose for whatever. The ID numbers are no help. Seems engines...
My Engines from previous owners have been modified so many times. When they replaced the oil pan of the port engine, they installed a new oil pan that did not have a dipstick built into the side of the oil pan like the old one. So they wrapped the dipstick around the starter, creating a "U"...
I have a 1972 58' Hatteras Yachtfish. I am trying to find the largest possible fridge that I can take down the stairs to the galley. I would like to hear what models others have bought and how they were able to get the fridge to the galley.
