Curious, I’ve heard Brunswick owned, for a period of time, Hatteras back in the day. Does anyone know what years?

5 months and $67,000 later, I have new props and my port engine has been completely rebuilt. This was an expensive winter. Michigan Shore Marine did the work .

I just received a quote to replace two of my three AC units. One is for the bow cabin which is a 6000 unit and the other is a 24000 unit for the salon. $23,000. Unbelievable

Ya know…. Just when you get accustomed to someone being around all of the time, they up and disappear. Must be the north channel or Lake Superior swallowed him. you are missed Sky… ulterior motive:….I have Hatteras questions for you lol

On my 36 Sea Ray I had a water distribution manifold for both hot and cold water. I’ve looked everywhere I can on my 48cpmy and found nothing resembling a manifold. Did Hatteras hard plumb everything? There is a lot of grey fresh water tubing with T’s and terminations scattered throughout the...

An unfortunate event…. I slightly ran aground on an unmarked shoal. I managed to back off it however, upon arriving at the marina, I had the boat craned out and inspected the hull and the props. The hull was fine but the props are a limited damaged. I contacted my insurance company and started a...

Struggling a little bit. I have an Onan 15.0 marine genset onboard my 1994 48’ Hatteras cpmy. The starter for the genset is having trouble engaging the bendix. I haven’t torn it apart but completely expect that the gear is worn. Hopefully not the flywheel. Does anyone know a source for a starter...

In this day and age where customer service seems to be lacking everywhere, I want to point out a company that goes above and beyond for its customers. Coral Gables Yachts in Holland Michigan has taken care of every single need of my Highfield dinghy. Its unreal how good they are. Sams Marine is...

Ahhhh the big debate..... Struggling trying to decide which anchor to buy. My Hatt has a Danforth onboard. I was also "given" a Delta anchor. I've had a couple of bad experiences with the Delta. It generally holds well but has cut loose twice on me and dragged. I'm not sure twice is enough to...

I have a pole barn that needs cleaning out. I have 3 sets of Davits. 2 sets of Trick Davits and a set of Marquit davits. I will try to get some photos this week. Make a reasonable offer.

The Admiral and I are trying to video our boat trips. I’m trying to learn Adobe Premier. Video editing has a steep learning curve. Maybe watch my first actual video and critique it? Be kind. I’ve been watching sailing and boating channels. Trying to emulate them...

The past summer I had my 2 of 3 working AC units recharged for the last time (or so I hope). I started researching prices to have the 3 cruisaire units replaced. Needless to say I suffered sticker shock. $30,000 to have 3 units replaced. I have a fairly strong education in electronics but...

The admiral and I are starting to plan a trip to the outer banks of NC. Kind of an early pre-retirement trip for her. Thinking about moving the boat from Grand Haven Michigan to NC. We want to look at marinas for our possible destination. I’m hoping for any recommendations for a mostly quiet...

Dropped the water fill port cap in the water. Anyone have any idea on size? Source? appreciate any help 1994 48 cpmy

Still scratching my head. My neighbor pointed out how my 48cpmy is listing to starboard approximately 5-6”. Walking across the aft deck it is evident you are walking downhill. I suspected that the dinghy/davit mounted on the transom was the culprit. I let it down and laid a level across and it...

Anyone know what this is?

Having some trouble with my genset. The top pulley periodically will freeze up and start burning the belt. If I let it cool down and restart it runs fine for awhile. I’m thinking possible bearings. I called Bridgeway Cummins in Grand Rapids and they want $1000 for the service call alone. I’m...

Curious….. which oil filter everyone is using for. Detroit 6v92?

Newer boat to me. Getting ready for boating season. The marina just quoted me $2400 to change oil and filters on my 6v92’s and 15kw Oman generator…..sooooooo that’s NOT happening. How many gallons of oil does 6v92 hold? Any recommendations on oil filters? Any idea what my Onan needs?

Curious…….does anyone run a single engine and autopilot to increase fuel range?
