Hi Everyone... Its been I while since I've checked in here. We have a frozen Raw Water Seacock. Efforts to free it have failed. That, and we snapped the shaft connection the handle trying to open it. I need to order new hardware and the Thru Hulls come in "regular" and "extra long" thread...

Hi There- Who knew? The P/N for the Silicone 6V71 Rocker Cover Gasket is 5104018 and the 8V71's is 5104081. These are P/N 5104018 (Silicone). I ordered incorrectly and have two sets of gaskets for a pair 6V71's with Aluminum Valve Covers. $20 per set and $12 Shipping. Buy both sets and the...

Hello Hatteras Hive-Mind; We're in with at least four solid commitments for September 26-27 at Grindstone Joe's in Lodi, California (https://grindstonejoe.org/) Chartmaker, Seven, Reposado, and Cavalcade say they're in! I've charged Seven (Rusty Martindale) with selling this event out, and I...

Hi Gang; it’s time for me to face the fact that our manifolds have rusted and have pinholes. Sooty engine rooms and of course, the smell. Whose recently bought engine manifolds? Where did you source them from? Thanks all- Chuck aboard Chartmaker

Hi HOF'ers; Who has sourced an extreme service throttle cable lately? Who did you order it from? I have a 28 Ft really fat red throttle cable on the lower helm that I need to replacement immediately. it looks like the Seastar equivalent is the CCX63328 for the 28 footer, and CCX63330 for the...

Hi HOFer’s, Can someone share here the steps to disassemble the door Frame from from the galley to the forward cabin? we need a full 25-inches of clearance to replace the laundry appliance- and the frame needs to come out. I think that I see small finish nails holding the frame pieces to the...

All; While there's a thread about re-inventing the house bank here, what about new battery technology for starting banks? I'm trolling for comments on using 16V racing batteries for the starboard starting bank. A few battery sales folk who love selling me 4D 8V batts are suggesting I try them...

Hi HOFer's; So we moved into a new marina last month with new docks and electrical feeders. REAL 240 Volt 50A Service, a big change from the barely 210 V per leg at our previous marina. I think the 240 cooked the controller board in our FRIGIDAIRE Stacked Washer-Dryer in the forward cabin. I...

All; i redid I galley our galley about six years ago and removed the Galley Maid blender from service. Still functioning though could stand a little shining up. This is a "built-in" counter-top blender. I tried rotating the image and saving it but it absolutely will not load in the desired...

Hi All; Six year-old 32V 4 x 8Volt 4D battery set, three of the four battery tops are cracked on the starboard set. The Starboard alternator hasn't been working (I thought) so I just replaced it. Today while watering the batteries I found the cracked casing tops on three of the four...

Our Starboard Delco Alternator Voltage Regulator has failed. Low volts at idle, pegs out the voltmeter as I increase RPM's. We're still supporting our 32 Volt house mains. As luck would have it, Delco has deprecated, or "end-of-lifed" the 32Volt 25Si Alternator and I am having trouble sourcing...

All- We just completed renewed the starboard sliding pilot house door- it started out as a simple thing : we were only replacing the rollers... nope; completely stripped the exterior paint and interior varnish and refinished (Thanks Seven for the help on the paint and stripper!). Very pleased...

Asking the collective but afraid I already know the answer: Our dryer has stopped porting hot air out through the vent and I need to inspect the hose connection etc. Do I have to pull the stacked unit completely out to secure access? There isn’t a hidden access bulkhead, right?Thanks All; Chuck...

All; We're servicing the pilot house doors right now. What was "let's put new rollers on the doors this weekend" has turned into a mulit-month project. Starboard is complete, and now we're starting on Port. The decorative panel is very thin as everyone here has expressed some dismay over. Wait...

It’s time to pull the old White Westinghouse... of course, once we got it out of the galley the delivery guys refused to bring their truck into the boat yard... Hatteras owner problems...We’ll be giving her a bottom job this week so are bringing a new Lazy Boy Nitro sofa on board and a...

All- I am looking to source a raw water pump for my Onan 15.0 MDJF-3CR/9374AA SN# E20322938. I don’t have the Jabsco number. Anybody have a manual that would reference the part number so I can look to cross reference it? Thank YouCap’t Chuck aboard m/v Chartmaker 53MY
