I have read a few posts on the feedback sensor leak problems here. I find myself needing to replace mine. I have elected to replace the feedback assembly rather than rebuild it because it is pitted and neglected for many years by the PO. I have a Naiad manual and schematic but I don't see any...

First of all there are numerous buck converters out there to take 32v to 24 or 12v if you want to go that route. I have both on mine - one converting 32 to 24v for my ACR Searchlight and a few others taking stuff down to 12v. If you have overhead lights like mine through I was looking for a...

Thought some of you would be interested in the refithttps://youtu.be/xlBw8TGlPdA

I've been working on this on and off for a couple of weeks. I finally found a nice light solution for the old Hatteras lights I wanted to share. These lights will replace all your 110v AND 32v lights! Made by juno. The LED panel is 40vdc so by removing the voltage regulator you can run them off...

So my Sentry charger is set up to cut off at 36 volts. I am having to add water every 3 months to keep them topped off sufficiently. I am wondering if this is too high. Thinking about cutting it back to 34 volts cut out?

I am scheduled to move my boat to a yard for haul out and I just noticed last night my upper helm is leaking oil from the front seal. If I were to remove the upper helm can you still operate the hynautic system from the lower helm? I don't have time to send it off or rebuild it in a week and a half!

I have a primary and second station controls I removed when upgrading the light. Make me an offer.

I have a CD100 compass I removed from my Robertson when I upgraded. Make me an offer. It is complete with the housing and everything. I had to cut the cable but there is plenty to splice in to.

I think it is time to replace all of mine with new stuff. Both engines and both stations. I was thinking about ACDC Marine. They gave me a quote of $1300 to replace everything which I thought was very reasonable considering the Stewart Warner from Sam's is over $3000. Has anyone dealt with ACDC...

I have a 56MY with a spectacular aft deck that is not usable while under way due to diesel fumes rolling back in the deck. The station wagon effect! Has anyone found a solution to prevent this? It's not horrible but bad enough to make it unpleasant.

I have an ever growing to-do list at my next haulout. One thing that needs to be addressed is my current bellows, clamps and stuffing box. If i have to drop the shaft to replace the bellows should i upgrade to a dripless system or install Gore Tex? Who has done both or either?

Ok guys before I shove off in a week or so I am trying to think of the what-ifs. The anchor is sort of important! 56MY has a danforth now - honestly it looks really small for the boat but the PO swears its what they used but he never really used the boat. I can buy a brand new FX-55 for $500...

Doing the first oil change on the 8v92 and Allison gear since buying the boat. I see there are different ideas on how much oil the engine and gear take. What say you?

I am in need of a set of 7 or 8 step sea stairs for boarding our 56MY. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey guys - so I closed this week on Sophie, 1981 56MY. She is in NY and I need to get her out of there and down to Wilmington NC to her new home. I have a 20 item punch list to complete before I feel like she is trip-worthy. So she has 500-600 gallons of fuel on board that has been sitting for...

I have 4 new banks of Rolls batteries to the tune of $6,000 and I wanted to switch to a 3 phase charger to keep them healthy and hopefully last a long time. The Newmar only does 3 banks. I found this Powermania unit which is 30 amp out and 4 banks. It has the same output as the others. Has...

Hey guys - looking for info on where I could find an exhaust bracket that supports the exhaust pipe coming off the turbos? Western Branch says it was a Hatteras add on but i can't find one. I need the short one that connects to the intercooler. Can someone also explain how to upload photos...

i was able to get a factory manual from Galley Maid on their windlasses. Unfortunately, the pdf must be too big to load on the forum (1mb). if anyone would like a copy of it just message me your email and I will send it over. I never realized that you are not supposed to lower the anchor with...

Just bought a 1981 56MY and its very strange but the complete 12v system is down. Even with the 12v charger on there is nothing. The 12V panel power light is not on. I have spent several hours trying to find something major that i am missing but nothing jumps out. Do these boats have a 32v to...
