Post 50 foot Carver...sinks...


The Coast Guard says the 50-foot Carver Yacht called Nauti Dream was starting to sink and the crew called 911. They also hailed the Coast Guard for help on VHF Channel 16, but didn’t respond to Coast Guard callouts on the radio.

Local first responders located the cell phone that called 911 near Buoy 62 in the Chesapeake Bay, off Northumberland County in Virginia’s Northern Neck.

April 3, 2023



Sure would like to know more...why it sank for one..(well yeah...took on water)

But why? Hit something??

Post Gas engine tachometers


Hi Fellas, has anyone else got this problem with the tachometers? The port engine tachometer doesn’t work at the bridge, but works fine at the lower control station. I haven’t checked the input wiring to see if the tachometer gets its power from the distributor, or from the alternator. I was thinking about just taking the tachometer from the lower station and swapping it with the tachometer from the bridge station.

I guess that the first thing to do is to check the wiring of the lower station tac ...

Post Replacement Switches for Trim Controls


The "buttons" on the console for controlling trim are either frozen or never had any good feedback. What alternatives are there without modifying the panel? If modifying the panel, what are good robust weatherproof options?

Thanks!

Post water in the bilge... Hmmm?


Ok, this is an odd one for me and am wondering your thoughts:

2003 Carver 396 aft cabin is my boat.

She was in heated storage for the winter and launched last week. The water temperature was 38F (these details will be brought up later)

A couple hours after launch I was checking my bilge pumps and bays, only to find water in the aft most bay near the drain plug. My boat has ALWAYS been dry as a popcorn... well, its dry! So this came as a bit of a shock to me to find water.
