Post Help with throttles


The boat we are purchasing (2002 396) has twin Cummins 6BTA 5.9's but the throttle controls are Volvo Penta. I'm not sure if this was a factory option, but as far as I know there have been no upgrades.

My question: The throttle control says "Electronic Diesel Control" but when I asked the broker he said that it was just cable operated (mechanical) and not electronic. So is this Volvo Penta throttle able to be setup as both an electronic version as well as a mechanical version? I read in the m ...

Post Sea cock handle broke. Now what?


I have a 1999 Carver 350 Mariner with twin engines and my Starboard side seacock for my water inlet froze open. After several alternative steps to break it free, I had a slip neighbor use a little more leverage and broke off the brass handle. Luckily no water leakage but I'm assuming my only option at this point is to have boat taken out of water to replace or can this be done while in my slip? I've considered creating a temporary bypass valve in between the broken seacock and the sea straine ...

Post Engine Alarm Help!


Hi All,
I own a 1999 Carver 350 Mariner with twin Mercruiser 5.7 Mercruiser 350 Mag Mpi engines. My port side engine has an engine alarm that starts beeping approximately 15 seconds after starting. Does anyone know how I can determine what this engine alarm is alerting me to? Is there anything I can reference to troubleshoot? Appreciate any feedback, thank you.

Post Kohler 8KW generator


Should have posted this question first. New to this forum business!

Kohler 8KW Model 8E gas generator not turning over. Hear the solenoid clicking but starter does not turn. Brand new battery dedicated to generator. I manually turned over engine and it moves freely. Generator fairly new with only 25 hours on meter. Unfortunately, it has not been used in a couple of years.

Post AC Aft cabin leaking


Hi,

I have a 1989 3807 aft cabin. The problem I am having is with the aft cabin AC unit overflowing. It is not consistant but it overflows the drain pan evey other time we use it. It seeps out under the drain tray from the black cushion and onto the carpet.



I can not see or touch the drain hole from the tray - no access.



Prior to do the below step the leak was stopped because no more water was seeping out.



1. We disconnected the drain line to the sump pump and put a hose to the line and the wat ...

Checked the fuel filter Qs 35-802893Q1 and emptied it in a glass jar. As you can see i think i found the problem but what is the next step except replacing the filter?

Post Burned line wire at circuit breaker


Looking for some help on with AC electrical issue.



Over the weekend we returned from a cruise and plugged into shore power. Shortly thereafter, smelled electrical burning. Shut things down and took ac panel cover off and found line wires burned at connection to the circuit breaker that is connected to AC unit 2. The wire that burned is the one providing power from shore #2 main breaker (shore #2 has 2 ac units and ac water pump), as best I can tell. The other two circuit breakers then receiv ...

Post 1981 3007 - Replacement sliding window


Hi!

I'm wondering if anyone would know where to obtain a replacement port-side sliding window for our 1981 3007. It looks like someone knocked off the embedded handle, which broke the interior layer of glass.

Thankfully, it's just one layer of the double glazing, so it's watertight, but it looks awful so hoping we can get a replacement pane somehow.

Thanks!
