I just wanted to take a moment to tell everyone how much I have enjoyed this site over the past 11 years and to thank everyone on this site that has offered their help and experience to me over the years. We decided to list our boat with Gulf Coast Hatteras since they have been a sponser to our...

Did a search last night and found two codes. White Imron #67766U. Paint guy at CARQUEST says that is a good number. Gave him the blue code#43258UH and he said that was not a good Dupont number. Can anyone help me out. Having some repair work done around the scuppers on both sides which will...

Can anyone tell me how to check at the engine if the sensor is working on my tach. It has a mechanical tach that is driven off the motor and I'm told the sensor is the small round disk type thing with two wires coming off it. Is it still available for purchase if bad. The mechanic that...

Not with the boat right now but I think I have an older auto pilot 6000. I have been meaning to ask, what would be causing my auto pilot to sway about 5 to 10 degrees when activated. Some days it runs a lot more true than others? Checked the pressure in steering and made sure I have 30 lbs of...

I probably know the answer but I'll ask anyway. Do you have to haul the boat to change the packing in the rudder shafts. Found a leak under master stateroom bed and was able to tighten it up enough to stop it. Should have had it changed last Nov. when I had the shafts packing changed. I did...

I feel I already know the answer but I'm going to ask it anyway. Just found I had a minor leak in my rudder on the starboard side. I tighten it up a little and it appears to have stopped. My questions is do I have to haul the boat to have the packing changed out. Did the shafts last fall...

The compressor is shot in my master stateroom. AC guy said I just need the unit that goes down in the engine room. He said I did not need the evaporator unit in the closet. He said if that part went back after I put in a new unit in the engine room, all I would do is loose freeon. If I...

Had to have both 453N's rebuilt in Marathon recently. Left Marathon on the 11th heading north. Stopped in Ft. Myers to take on fuel. Did my figures and did my figures again. Called the mechanic to ask him was it possible to go from 2.2 gal. an hour burn rate per engine to my new figure of...

While in Marco Island, I had a AC guy come out and check my master stateroom AC. Didn't know my v-berth ac was not working and needed a capacitor. Found out my master AC compressor is toast. Yesterday in Dunedin, I got to the marina and turned on V-Berth and Salon units. Did not think the...

Does anyone have a working usable rudder indicator gage. Mind got water in it and it is not working. Called the company and ask if it was suppose to be waterproof and they said no. Well, my flybridge is not enclosed. Need to figure out what to do when I get another one if it is not...

Had both 453's rebuilt a couple months ago in Marathon. Just checked my fuel burn rate when I fueled up in Ft. Myers. I went from 2.2 gallons per hour to .912 gallons per hour. Called the mechanic to make sure I was right. Will check again when I fuel up again on my trip north. Guess I...

Has anyone run into a problem when trying to replace the original hose. I found out the outlet on the hull is like 1 1/4in and the fitting on a 1500 rule is like 1 1/8. Do I just try and downsize the fitting on the hull? captbuddy

Have one 453 head ready to have rebuilt. Had a engine rebuilt guy in Macon, Ga. look at it and he said he could redo the head with no problem. Best offer. Came off my 1981 LRC. captbuddy

Guys and Gals, I know it is not a Hatt but one of our clients owns a Trucking company ans is about to purchase this 58 ft. Viking sport fisher. I think it is in Destin or at tleast the broker is. The boat is a 1997, and I'm told it has Mans for power and they have about 2700 hours. I'm being...

Guy's and gals, I have been fighting for over 5 years trying to solve the overheating problem of my starboard engine and I think we found the culpret this week. This is not the engine I am currently rebuilding. The port engine is being rebuilt. I've thought I'd covered everything from boiling...

Guys, I'm having the port engine rebuilt in frame. New pistons, sleeves, rings, head rebuild etc. I have 453 N. I'm in Marathon and the bill is going to be $3600. Is that a good price? He already has the engine torn down so it is a little late to ask. But just curious. Thanks, captbuddy
