This just started this morning with the second main 12v DC breaker tripping. The amps appear to fluctuate but the lower 115 vac will sometimes drop to 0 and then back to 10 amps. I am attaching pictures of the panel. This is a 3607 88 Carver aft cabin cruiser. Any input would be greatly appreciated to resolve this problem.

I’m installing a NMEA 2000 network in the engine compartment. I would like to wire the NMEA power cable to the ignition system so when I start the port engine the NMEA power cable has power. Is there an ignition wire in the engine compartment that will meet this requirement? I don’t want to have to run a power wire from the ignition switch to the engine compartment.

Anyone done this?

Good day. Looking to replace the wipers. Look to be original as I have looked at other Rivs and they look the same. Challege is where to source them. Any help is appreciated

Hello All,

Three seasons ago I purchased a 2001 356 aft cabin which I absolutely love. I got an incredible deal on this gorgeous boat because of a soft spot in the rear swim deck which is not a quick and easy problem to rectify. I learned that this was a VERY COMMON problem with this model of boat and was told the failure was caused by the installation of a grab handle installed in the rear deck on most of these boats to compensate for the AWFUL factory swim ladder which makes in nearly impossibl ...

Looking for a shower faucet replacement with 6" measurement between pipes. For the life of me all I can find is 4". Anyone have any ideas where to look?

Hi there!

New boater here. Any input on how to pump out the black water tank on a 1980 3396 Mariner? I had a couple people aboard to locate and they couldn't figure it either, so i don't feel like a complete idiot!

Thanks for the help!

Hello Team,



We just successfully buttoned up our haulout last week. Aside from the usual paint, zincs and cleanup, we also had a shaft seal leak to overcome.



Our port Tides shaft seal was clearly original and had significant wear issues along with rust and corrosion. I’m far too embarrassed to even show you the photos! During a 3-4 hour trip, we were getting about 5 gallons of water in the aft bilge area which as we all know sits UNDER the bilge pump water line! Even sitting at dock we were ...

Hi all i have an issue with the power supply from my marina. Supply is only 16amps 240 volts at the pedestal and this limits the amount of i can use at one time.. My question is can i use the bow power inlet -Line 2 on switchboard to operate AC- heating units only then have all other 240 appliances operate from stern inlet Line 1...
This is still going to be 16AMPS 240 Volt to each inlet and hoping this will solve my issues... Has anyone else encountered the same problems...Paul
