I need to replace some of my door hinges. These are the doors that go to the bedrooms, bathrooms and closets. The hinges are worn out and I need to lift the door to make it latch. The hinges are stainless steel approx 3.5" long. Any idea where I can find replacements?

Just acquired our 2006 Carver 41 CMY. Trying to solve the poor visibility to the stern from the wheel house. Thinking of installing a Raymarine CAM220IP above the rear sliding doors from the rear stateroom. The camera needs a flat surface, and I don't think I could get it to point down at the swim platform from the roof. So, I think I need to run wiring under the aft deck/above the rear stateroom, then up under the floor of the wheel house/above the salon ceiling to get to the console to hoo ...

Recently purchased 450 Voyager with twin Cummins 450 Diamond Series. Port alternator went out so checked starting batteries and all are shot. The boat currently has the following. All batteries are identical AGM31M, 1150 CCA.



Each engine two 1150 CCA gel batteries in parallel



House has two 1150 CCA batteries in parallel



Genset one 1150 CCA battery



Bow thruster 24 volt so four 1150 CCA batteries in series



So my questions are:



1)Cummins specs call for I think 1100 CCA each engine. For boat operation ( ...

Hello, all.

I have a 355 Motor Yacht. Two AC units, forward is 16,000 BTU, rear is 12,000 BTU. I find that the velocity of air out of the registers is not strong at all. The air that is coming out is cold (going to verify temp with infrared thermometer) but it just doesn't seem to have enough air pressure (similar to having the AC in your car on the lowest fan setting). Is this normal? I've checked the screens, coils (cleaned both) and can't seem to get the AC performing well. (only a 5-10 d ...

79 Carver Voyager 28, 2 battery system. Everything works fine on shore power but when I disconnect, the interior lights and receptacles don’t work with selector on either batteries. The boat engine and fly bridge controls/panels do get power and engine starts. The boat is in fact new to me, did I wire the batteries wrong or am I making some silly mistake here? Or is that normal, I doubt it? Kind of stumped because they do work on shore power. I’m normally quite a skilled mechanic but this is my ...

I just watched a video from Boattest.com about a product called Hull Shield. It uses ultrasonic waves to prevent hull growth and contamination. Has anyone installed this and if so what are your thoughts and results?

I have a 1985 3607 with an aftermarket (not factory installed) A/C and it seems not to be baffled off from the bilge/engine compartment so that it is drawing in air from those locations, air which is especially hot and sometimes odiferous upon docking after a long run. Could someone send me photos of a factory installed unit under the forward dinette seat which shows any provision made by the factory to keep this from happening? Thanks.

Due to dumbness, had to replace our 32” TV. Had a Roku, wasn’t a real fan of it, so got a VIZIO. Nice unit. However, our wifi here at the marina stinks, since the town took it over. Was GREAT when it was marina generated. Anyway, I have T Mobile unlimited everything and used to use my phone as a hot spot. On a 1 -10 it worked a solid 8.5. My vizio has a hard time recognizing it, tech support said it may not recognize every hotspot. I guess my choice is to go back to Roku, or find a new internet ...

Sharing the fact that my 5 year search to find something to remove back streak from interior ceiling and wall carpeted surfaces has ended. Hydrogen peroxide put into a spray bottle and liberally used and allowed to soak, applied in successive applications has done the trick for me. Hope it is useful to others.

The former owner of my '67 Carver Camper sent me this helm compass. It was actually mounted on the boat before the restoration took place so I decided to put it back in its rightful spot. The hood is removable. Still works perfectly...(no batteries required!). Kinda cool.

Cheers!
