All I can find seems to be a serial number right on to the Hynautic sticker. Any idea where I can find the k-19 or k-22

Joef,

Exactly, I just didn't quite know how to word it. I can't seem to find any numbers on my Hynautic cylinder. The only thing I know is the steeeing head number. It is my understanding that the cylinder is the number I need.

Thanks guys! I am leaning toward the AP-24 since it replaced the 16 but now has some added features I am looking for. Bob, does you boat hold steady in a quartering sea off the bow and what type of steering system do you have, Hynautic or Teleflex?

Capt. Pat, I have not yet purchased the pilot, the dealer and I are just trying to determine if I need to spend the extra $$$ for the 160 pump. I hate to spend the extra $600.00 if a 80 pump will work. I was thinking one of the faithful must have run into this issue before. According to Simrads Spec...

I am having a Simrad Autopilot priced out for Fin Chaser. I need help from any of the faithful who have a fairly recent Simrad system. My question is do you have an 80 or 160 pump? and if you have the 80, does the boat steer straight in choppy seas or does it tend to zig-zag. I can save nearly $600....

Marked some fish at Masseys yesterday but could not get a bite on the troll. It was them, but they just were not feeding. Not much in the canyons but Whites and Mahi on the lobster/red crab gear.

Butt Ugly!!! but handsdown the best, EZ Anchor Puller. I run 90 to 120 trips every year, at least 1/2 of these trips I am using it setting 4 to 8 times per day and never had a issue. All the others, and I have used three different brands don't hold a candle to these, just as long as you can get past...

Walter,

With my 20 x 22 nibrals I can turn 2625 wot. Some might say that too low, but my engine hours say it's fine. Our reduction is just about the same on our gears.

Dan

Joel,

A pair of 210's with zf gears turning 20 x 22 three blade, 24 knots @ 2400 and I carry 1500 lbs of lead in the boat. Don't sell the 210's short, they run forever without many headaches. Nearly 5000 hrs and still ruuning strong.

At those temps you may want to add 10 to 20% reducer. Is that temp constant or will it drop off over night? if so how low?

Need to ask; Why did you "tip" the paint ? Did it have small air bubbles? or just because you thought you have to. As I mentioned before many times you really don't need to "tip" if you use some of the newer rollers, 1/4 nap to too much. Spraying can be a real nightmare if you don't really know what...

tds8268

I have done several boat with awlgrip, roll & tipping. I have never retaped unless it is a seam where two painted surfaces will meet. But if your talking about rod holders or cleats, etc. no need to retape. Use high quality Blue or Green tape, NOT the cheap stuff. I normally stick with the blue unle...

Why spend time to worry about something we have very little knowledge about and absolutely no control over. These hurricane predictions are just like the marine forcasts and we all know how accurate they are.

Mike, Asked the people at the Port of Wilmington, DE and they didn't know anything about the relationship between the TWIC and my OUPV. They said they were employees of Lockheed Martin. Payed the $132.50 but will be real PO'd if I have to spend that again next year when I renue my 6pack. Dan www.fin...

You mean that when I renue next year(6 pack) I have to buy this damn TWIC card again?

Dan

Walter,

Wonder how I can get the difference back. I was told by the people at the port of Wilmington, DE that there is only one set fee. Should have talked to you first.

Very nice but one item to watch out for. These boats are know for _ _ _ _ well I'll just say it, sinking at dock. I have know four of these boats and three of them have gone down at one point during their life. It has something to do with where/how the scuppers are mounted. I don't want to cause a f...

Capt. Mike, I earn or try to earn a living as a full time charter fishing. I have not heard of this one yet. Why would we need that when we already must posess a Commercial Vessel Operator Permit? Just more bullcrap we'll need to put up with. One of my fellow capt. out of OC, and a b31 owner, got in...

Chris, Make sure you have the right tackle if you go giant fishing. 130's are standard issue and for Gods sake DON'T try it alone. I lost a friend a few years ago while he was giant fishing solo. These fish are the real deal. A far as bait, horse bally with Ilanders, blue & white, black & purple, pi...

Adding a Simrad auto pilot this month and I need some input as to which pump to use, the 80 or 160. The boat is a 1970 b-31 with 6 cyl. Cummins and Capt. Pats oversized rudders, it also has Hynautic Steering. The tech I am dealing with is concerned that by only using a 80 pump the system will not be...

Anyone found the best price for these, I am just about sick of messin with packing. Can you install these correctly doing it by yourself or should you have someone in the know do it instead.

Does anyone else ever get sick-and-tired of being the laughing stock of the world! These countries know damn well that the USA will be the only one effected by these cuts and they will be able to continue just as they always have while we get screwed.

Boat is a flybridge and I cruise 23.5 to 24 knots at 2400. I am not sure who posted the link but it is not of this boat.

Flybridge

tds8268

That all was replaced several years ago and is still very solid the survey found no moisture anywhere. I should have mentioned that the boat was redone back in 94 with decks, bulkhead, rudder shelves, ect. I have also added Capt. Pats oversize rudders last year.

I would like some input concerning what is a fair price to list "Fin Chaser", a 1970 b-31, for. The boat has a pair of 210 cumming one has 4800 hrs and the other 3000. Sounds high but not for the 210's and they have been maintained extreamly well. Boat was surveyed last March and passed with flying ...

I started at the bow and used one full kit and one half kit. If I remember correctly this should give me 15' of rail on each side. Like with most things prep is extreamly important! My full kit has been on for about 7 years. I added the half kit in the spring of 04. Everything is still super tight. ...

Bill,

The SmartRail is one of the best things I have done to my 31. Helps a little in heavy seas, but really cuts down on the spray in light to moderate seas. I only have them about 1/3 the way back since I wanted to help cut the spray and wasn't worried about rear lift.

Dan

Dave,

Never been the brightest but I can't find it on their site, even searched under bleeding. Any thoughts?

Thanks
Dan

tds8268

I have just installed new seals in my Hynautic Steering helm unit and was wondering if anyone can post the bleeding/refilling instructions for a single station boat. My helm unit is a three line h50.

Thanks much!

I bought this 127 to replace my 120 when I found out that ICOM was going to discontinue these models. Problem is, my 120 just keeps working and working.
