I need to replace my sentry charger on my 55ft Hatt 1987. Looked at the outback but only want a straight charger with no inverter, also looking at C-Charger 9000. It seems that the newmar is the only smart charger in 32 volt. The down side is it only charges to 25 amps. Does anyone see a...

I was losing coolant on my 1987 55c 12v71 800hp Covington's. Spent much tracking it down to a cracked head. The crack was around one of the injectors. We put in a reman head and reman injectors on the one side. On the sea trial the engine smoked black real bad between 1100-1700 rpm's, at...

I was thinking how great it would be to have an app for the IPhone. It would so easy to post questions and pictures from the boat "Work area" maybe even get feedback before we left the boat for other things to "check". Don't know if Sam's would foot the bill for someone to design the program...

I have been in my current slip for about 6 months now. Every other month the diver is changing out the same zincs. Before this new slip i was changing out 5-7 months. Is than any way of probing the water around he boat to measure hotter parts of the marina than others? I'm spending a small...

I always wondered how i would jump the main 32v batt bank if all was dead. I only have a 32 volt batt bank. The mains and gen start off of it. If i were to call out vessel assist at sea how would they get the mains or gen started? My understanding is they can, at most, start up to 24v by...

Thinking about putting a bow thruster on my 1987 55c. Anyone have any experience with this. What would be the downside if any? What would be potential challenges?

On a few different occasions, I start the mains(12v71), after I start the generator(Onan 20kw) then the generator shuts down. If I parallel the batteries the problem doesn't seem to happen. The gen is tied to the starboard battery bank. The batts are 32 volt, the gen is 24 volt running off of...

I will install a swim platform on my 1987 55' Hatt sportfish. Any tips, tricks or advice?

On a few different occasions when docking I put the port main into reverse and nothing happens. I adjusted the shift cable thinking that was the problem, no change. It is intermittent, maybe 1 of 5 times i put it into reverse it doesn't go. I have hynautics. Someone told me maybe there is an...
