- Hatteras Model
- 43' DOUBLE CABIN (1970 - 1984)
1981 Hatteras Motor Yacht. Detroit Diesel 6-71Ti. Starboard engine has 3058 hours. Probably low compression and due for a piston, ring, seal kit. Have owned the boat for four years. Starboard always hard cold weather (60 degrees ambient) starts. Came with a block heater. Needs ether when cold to start.
Sometimes during cold starts, white smoke comes out of air breather (turbos). Engine won't light. What does this mean? In past, after leaving sit, it clears and engine will usually start.
