Does anyone have any experience with any boat yards in the LI Sound that could do the following on our 1990 54ED: The waste hose from our Master Stateroom is totally clogged and in need of replacement. I don't think ripping the old one out and replacing it will work as it is buried between the...

I need to replace 4 strainers. After 33 years they are in need of service. The 4 are located in my genset hole. 2 larger ones for the Genset and heads and 2 smaller ones for the raw water pumps for the a/c compressors. Cost wise it is better to replace than rebuild. Any reason to not replace...

We have a 54 Hatteras ED 1990. On the trim tabs why are there three cylinders if the middle one is not hooked up to the hydraulic reservoir. It’s almost as if it is dummy cylinder The middle one was Hydro locked and not allowing the trim tabs to move freely up or down. It was totally filled...
