I got the O’Sea vinyl today, along with proper tools. My rex 607Z (Sailrite clone) is at teh ready. However, I am at a loss of direction. My panels I am replacing the vinyl in are pretty well made. I was told to stitch the new over the old, however, I don't think this will look good.



I know some say if I remove the old vinyl, I may lose the shape. SO, I was thinking of taping the old panel down to a table so shape is preserved. Use the seam ripper and remove the old vinyl. Use as a pattern, use ...

Hi all! Our NovaKool (RFU8000) on our 2002 396 has been working intermittent recently when supplied only from DC power. On AC power it works great with no issues.

I pulled the unit out and pulled all connections, cleaned them and verified no corrosion issues at the fridge. The only issue I found was a low voltage of 11.7 - 11.8VDC at the input to the electrical box where AC and DC come together. House voltage was 12.4VDC at the time. So at this point I am thinking a ground/corrosion issues ...

Hi Everyone,

My Name is Andy, I just joined this group. I have a 1987 27' Carver Montego. I have owned it for a couple of years. I do have some maintenance issues that I could use some help addressing if anyone has any info. The Vacu flush seems to have lost is seal maybe. It has some backflow and when I pump it out I have to put a stopper in the toilet to create a vacuum for pump out.

Holy Cow, I must live under a rock. Never heard of this or seen one before but it seems like this device may be mandatory. Not that I am going to comply but wanted to get other peoples experiences regarding this elusive black ball. Have been inspected and boarded several times by coast guard and usually pass with flying colors. https://www.boatsnews.com/story/28786/i ... -mandatory

I like Sikaflex 291 better than 4200. My question is, how difficult is it to remove 291 when it comes time to re-bed? Thanks.

Greetings



I am new to this site and new to Carver boats. I am a retired Architect and live in Cascade, Colorado. I bought a 1989, Carver 2357 Montego last fall. The boat is in good condition with full canvas as well as a 4KW. Kohler gen set. My son lives with me and is my first mate responsible for maintenance and repairs as my health prevents me from doing the work myself although I am still very good at supervising.



Our primary boating lake is the Pueblo reservoir just west of Pueblo, Col ...

Hello, I am trying to find out what type of Dinghy Davit system works well on a 2002 Carver 396. We have the optional dock box and the catwalk. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Leaking fuel tank repaired : Carver 4207 w/ CAT 3208s.

We repaired the starboard aluminum tank by installing an access plate near the aft end. Gaining access and machining the side of the tank to receive the access plate took more time than repairing the leak itself. Once the access port was ready, we cleaned, patched and sealed the tank bottom on the inside – then closed the access port.

Access was awkward but do-able; the leak (and the cause) were obvious; compared to other methods, the repai ...

Hello All! I have searched far & wide trying to find outdoor furniture for the decks of various boats I have owned over the years. I have found that most all store bought furniture is made with straight lines & right angles.....but boat decks have none of these. Two years ago I purchased a 2001 Carver 356 aft cabin and love this boat so so much, but struggled to find outdoor seating furniture that didn't look wonky or was overly wasteful of the outdoor deck space. So why not make my own! ...
