    I think I found a Hatteras LRC 65 in Brazil.

    While similar in quite a few ways to the Hatteras LRC, I can tell you in no uncertain terms - this is not a Hatteras. It may be a great boat, but just not a Hatteras. BTW, All Hatteras LRC 58 and 65 ( not sure about the 42 or 48) came with Detroits. They were normally aspirated, so that...

    Fuel flow meter on my Diesel?

    58 Hatteras LRC

    We have owned our 58LRC for about 3 years now, so maybe I can add some insight. Much our 32V system was converted over to 24V by a previous owner, but we do still have 32/24/12vdc systems on board. No issues at all with the wiring, etc during the time we have owned her. I installed a Victron...

    Staples, who likes them?

    These look great, but the seem to be ridiculously priced. I'd use 3-4 on my platform, but can't justify $2400-3200 to do this. Anyone found alternative to Tanner? 2" 316 stainless pipe is about $350 for 8'. That is enough to make one staple. Mounts (removable) are a bit of a problem...

    Furuno NavNet on boat WiFi network

    Has anyone tried using OpenCPN to read and/or display the information from the Furuno network (via wifi)? I do this on my Garmin network and OpenCPN even has a plugin that displays the Garmin Radar on my MacBook Pro and Notebook PC's Since I also have a Furuno network, it would be very cool if...

    Furuno or Garmin

    Furuno +++ Garmin not so much I've had Furuno, Garmin and Raymarine on numerous boats as well as extensive experience on other larger passage makers. Furuno radar is unparalleled. Furuno support is Excellent, even on older products. Parts for Furuno are available. Garmin, products are...

    Northern Lights - Voltage Regulator (repair?)

    Wiring the SX460 Here is the conversation I had with the engineer that advised me on how to hook up the SX460. You will see my questions, followed by his answers. I would have to go down to the boat and open up the Generator to answer any specific questions, but I believe the information...

    Onan MDJE stopped making power

    I'm curious as to why the SX460 needs a resistor. What is the value and rating of the resistor you have used? I installed the SX460 on both M673 and M843 generators and did not use a resistor. Both gensets appear to be working fine after a hundred+ hours. Would love any input on this....

    Which route if going to Bahamas?

    in my opinion, Lake O is slow and boring. The locks are a pain to deal with and you can wind up waiting for a while at each one. Also, they close at 4:30 so you will have to determine if you can make the entire trip in 1 or 2, maybe even 3 days. I prefer heading south from Boca Grande to the...

    Northern Lights 843 (12kw) Anodes

    Wow, thanks guys. This was on my list to do on both NL gensets. Our Hatteras is relatively new to us so I've been doing hundreds of upgrades, maintenance items, etc. Glad to delete one line from my work list.

    Upgrading/changing to electronic controls

    Four stations on our Hatteras LRC with Micro commanders. No issues whatsoever. I love the fly-by-wire controls and the ability to take control from any station with the press of a button. If failure occurs I can operate the engines manually from the engine room, which is very easy access and...

    Furuno or Garmin

    A bit late to the party, but here's my 2 cents: I've owned and used Furuno, Garmin and Raymarine over the years. Current vessel has Garmin, but it will be upgraded to non-Garmin in the future. Some peeves about Garmin. 1) Poor support in general. If you read the owners manuals you can...

    Norfolk, VA mooring?

    We've anchored many times off of Waterside - Downtown Norfolk. Nice access to restaurants, etc. Good holding - deep water.

    Cruising across Florida west to east

    Not sure how you all feel this is a 7-8 day trip to go around. We are in a 58LRC and it's one day from Punta Gorda to Marker 5 bridge (we run overnight) and one day up to FLL area from the keys (again, running overnight). No locks, no bent props. There aren't any great places on the...

    Docking a 100,000 LB boat

    One other consideration, nothing to do with docking a heavy boat.... Insurance. Make sure you have a resume that will document your skills in operating a boat this size and weight. Most insurance companies will insist on experience in the general size range of the boat you are operating...

    Docking a 100,000 LB boat

    YES. I was just about to state that you must learn to "think ahead" because if you wait until you see something going wrong, it's almost too late. 2savage give good advice with regard to heavy boats taking time to react to thrust changes. Pay VERY close attention to small movements or changes...

    Wireless radar

    I also had a Quantum wireless radar connected to my Axiom (on my Whaler). GREAT setup and worked flawlessly. Also makes it very simple and fast to install.

    Stator failure?- Northern Lights 6kw

    Well I have to say that I got very lucky. I had a tech come over Friday night to look at this and another issue which I believed to be related to the fuel lift pump. First, he found that someone had installed an electric pump inline, right before the mechanical lift pump. He said this was...

    Stator failure?- Northern Lights 6kw

    Similar issue with 843.... So I found this thread and realize it's a few years old - BUT.... I have a M843 that smoked this weekend. Three weeks ago we ran it for two days without incident. The boat came back to the dock and has been there for the last three weeks without use. This weekend...
