Just wondering if anyone had any of the old Guest Battery Switch knobs lying around. I know in reading some of the older posts that people say, I should replace the whole switch, but my switches are still very tight and operate smoothly, so I'm hoping to just replace the knob that fell apart.

Does anyone have an idea why the hour meter on my port engine keeps running, even though the engine has been turned off and the ignition switch is off? I was doing something in the engine room today and heard this ticking and traced it to the hour meter which was running. So, it must have been...

Has anybody ever heard of a surveyor asking to run the boat at WOT for half an hour during a sea trial?

By chance, does anybody know the diameter and type of hose used for the fuel filler hoses for my 1984 53'? I'm 4 hours away from the boat right now but need to source a couple of lengths. See pics below:

I've decided to sell my Hatteras. It has 8V71TI's with 2400 hrs. Comes with bow thruster, stabilizers, inverter/charger (Outback 3232), AIS, Garmin Instruments plus all the usual amenities. For a more complete description and more pics contact me by PM. Boat is located on Lace Simcoe in Ontario...

Has anyone ever replaced the interconnecting hose between the two water tanks? I have two tanks, one under the master cabin bed and one under the guest cabin bed. Other than the small access panel in the master cabin closet, it seems impossible to get to the connection underneath the master...

Would anyone have any drawer fronts or cabinet doors left over from their renovation, like the ones pictured?

To those of you who have painted their headliners to spruce them up, what type of paint did you use and did you roll it, brush it or spray it? Thanks in advance Gary

I have a Garmin chartplotter and separate Garmin GMI 10 instruments all of which are hooked into a NMEA 2000 backbone. To that backbone is also hooked a GPS antenna and a DST transducer. So the question to you Garmin (Scott) experts is: Does the speed read-out on the plotter and the instruments...

I just changed the fuel filters and although I could not see any water in the bottom of the bowls, I wanted for good measure drain off a little fuel and catch any sediment. I could not open the drains by hand. They are plastic with a barbed fitting to attach a drain hose. I was scared to force...

Has anybody replaced the fuzzies for the sliding windows. In particular, how do you get the old fuzzies out. On my windows, they have an adhesive backing tape, which seems near impossible to release from the frame. Is there a chemical that one can pour in the slots to soften up the glue? Or is...

Here are the fruits of my labor during the long winter up here. Decided to extend my swim platform, while keeping to the original design.

Does anyone have an Instruction Manual for an older Offshore Marine Laboratories (since taken over by Racor) Sea Quencher Water Maker? As per pictures:

The center head on my 1985 53' MY is flushing ok, but fills up to the underside of the rim after the flush. It just started doing that. Any ideas why?

I know this question has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it. I have a Robertson Autopilot, which isn't working due to troubles with the electronic board. I was thinking of switching to Garmin but retain the Robertson pump, so I don't have to re-plumb the lines. Has anyone done...

Does anyone know where I could get replacement nuts and bolts for my battery terminals to match existing? You'll see on the attached picture that the outside diameter of the shoulders is quite large, although the actual bolt is only 3/8" in diameter. I know, you'll ask: What is wrong with the...

Has anyone ever put a 12 volt starter on a 20KW Onan Generator? Mine presently has the 32 Volt starter, but I'm following in MikeP's footsteps in combining my battery banks which will be on the inverter and I would install a separate 12 volt battery for the starter.

My remote stereo volume controls either work poorly (with a lot of static) or they don't work at all. One of them (in the pic below) is seized up and doesn't turn at all. I'd like to get them working again. Are there more modern volume controls available or can these be fixed or replaced. I...

What magic potion does everyone use to get rid of the green corrosion on bronze and copper fittings? I had read somewhere about a mixture of vinegar and baking soda, that didn't work that good for me.

I made a boo boo. I didn't properly blow out the tubing going to the windshield washers when I put the boat away for the winter and the line froze. We splashed her this past weekend and I started commissioning the various systems. When I turned the water on I noticed some dripping coming from...
