Hello all, New kid on the block. After extensive research we settled on a Carver for our next boat and ultimately settled on a 405 as our preferred model choice. Took two years to find the perfect one and we are now proud owners of a very nice 1998 or 1999? Model 405.

A couple of quick questions for you other 405 owners or anyone for that matter.

Firstly, In the power cord locker on the transom port side there are two hose connections on the bottom under the power/cable/ phone connectors. One is labeled "Pressure Water" the other is labeled "starboard something" the rest of the decal is missing. Does anyone know what these are for? Note that there already is a shore fresh water connector on the starboard side so the one labeled "Pressure Water" cant be that. Any ideas?

Also, just before every raw water strainer for the engines, genny, and air cond pump, there is what appears to be bypasses of some sort which are all closed, anyone know what these are for? The plumbing is the same on all of them: from the raw water intake thru-hull it goes to a ball valve as normal then goes to a tee, the opposite side of the tee goes to a sea strainer then on to the respective engine or the air con pump. All completely as normal. However the other side of each of these tee's which are upstream ie "before" the strainers goes to closed ball valves. The outlets of these ball valves then go on to a sort of manifold affair which has a line that disappears toward the back of the boat. ......clear as mud eh?

Any suggestions or thoughts greatly appreciated!
