We are looking to replace the 12 v fridge with a 110v. Has anyone done this? What did you purchase? Trying to avoid major retrofit if possible so looking for something that is close or the same as the current fridge. Has a Norcold N7fxr.
Boat is 1989 - 3297
Also hoping to replace the stove oven combo with a convection microwave and maybe flat top range top or maybe just replace with counter and convection microwave. If you have any experience you care to share on that I'd love to hear it.

Hello! New member here. I own a 94 santego 380. I had the seats redone and the guy lost the strips of aluminum that the seat backs hang from on the front of the helm and the sides of the fly bridge. Anyone know what the proper name is for these mounts or where I can get some? Thanks for the forum and thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am doing some refreshing my 2001 Carver 396. I would like to paint some portions of my bilge. I would like to match the orginal flat grey paint. I see the availible bilge paint out there seems to be gloss. Does anyone one know what paint may match the original flat gray paint?
Any information wouls be appreciated.
Thanks

Greetings All! Proud owner of freshwater New to me 410 Sport Sedan, Volvo TAMD 63 powered. Lovin it so far! Where can i find replacement interior trim frames for the elliptical portholes/portlights in the heads. Mine have turned to the color and consistency of kelloggs corn flakes!

Good morning. We have a 1993 Carver 440 Aft Cabin, has anyone removed the galley bench seating and installed some cabinets? we're looking to increase storage space for when we head to the Bahamas and stay on the hook for awhile. thx.

just fyi.. when we removed the cushion on the aft wall we discovered that the screw went into the fwd black water tank hose. Must have been done during original construction.

Hi. I have a 1995 Carver I bought October 2026. I just got into my first downpour ICW East coast Florida and have major leaking in side windows. The outside tracks have all been caulked and windows are not movable. I just opened up the drain hole on the worse one and I have removed the inside wood trim on the fiberglass frame the aluminum frame sits in. On the inside was a vinyl wrap wood piece under the fiberglass which is rotten. There is even more wood that I can see bolts with nuts and it is punky and water dripping from them too.
I can't see what is happening with these to see how to repair. Any diagrams/pictures of how this is put together. I'm on America's Great Loop and am disappointed that this is happening because I'm moving pretty quickly. Working up to the Great Lakes Midland area for end of June.
Any help or direction would be much appreciated. I attached pictures

Hi everyone. Wanted to make this post as new members of the forum. We have a 2001 570 Voyager Pilothouse which we got in 2021. Powered by Cummins QSM 11-M diesels, 535hp each. We mainly navigate in the Great South Bay area of New York.

We are in the market for new props and figured this would be the best place to ask. We currently have 30" 32P, 2.5" bore, 4-blade props. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to source these? Preferred vendors, brands to look at, or anyone who has run this spec on similar setup would be very helpful.

2002 406 carver, is the engine room bilge pump located under the battery tray between the stingers? Mine is not working and blowing the breaker. Before I pull out all the batteries I’d like to make sure of location.
Thanks.

I need to replace the heat pump changeover Switch. The type and model is a Ranco C17-229-00. I know this model is no longer made so I have to find old stock. Does anyone have experience replacing this with a model that is available? I have read that the C17-100-070 will work.
And if anyone knows where to get the original C17-229-00 I would be forever grateful

Thanks

Hello,

We have recently aquired a 1986 Carver 3697 and are going to be up at the boat this weekend preparing for our launch. I am planning on installing a new Garmin 93sv as the previous fishfinder/chartplotter is missing the head unit and, if like the other electronics on the boat, was due for an upgrade anyway.

Couple of questions for anyone that knows. My plan is to either mount the transducer on the transom centered between the two props, or the other option would be to the starboard side of that sides prop. I know a transom mount isn't ideal on an inboard, but only looking for the sonar to work at low speed and i'm willing to deal with the loss of function at regular speeds. Any suggestions on those or any other locations?

Also, running the cable to the helm, I aleady have a 30' Garmin extension cable to help make the run, but wondering if anyone has run a cable from the transom to the helm on this model boat? Is there a space to run verically to the top deck? I found this in the bunk room and am wondering if it's a chase to run between the bridge and below deck?

Not sure why it keeps rotating this pic... it's vertical, not horizontal... orientation is correct on the file untill i attach it to this thread.

Anyway, just trying to plan the best route for the cable from the transom to the helm.

Any insight would be appreciated.
