Post Safety Equipment Check


Have neglected this as we do not use these items unless all hell breaks loose. Kinda like that spare tire in your car which is probably at 4 psi if your lucky enough to have an older car that still has a spare that is. :confused:



Checked the dates on my flares and saw they expired in 2019. :-( I know they are still functional however one needs to abide by the expiry dates if verified and there is a minute chance a couple will not work. Just a friendly reminder. :captain2:

Post Windows/Weather Stripping and Felt Channel - '89 Montego 23


Hey everyone, I have an '89 Montego Mid-Cabin and I'm redoing much of this boat and right now I'm working on the windows. The weather stripping and felt channel were just shot. Can anyone tell me what size felt channel and weather stripping goes in there, or share any links you may for me to buy this stuff? By the way, here is a video I did of removing one of the windows. https://youtu.be/LkNcDeWR7M0

Thanks a ton!

Post Heater pops the circuit and wont stay on


We have a 3807 that has 3 heaters and 3 air conditioners. Last weekend, we put the heat on (because we live in Michigan and it is still flippin cold!). We only put the heat on in the salon and after about 7 minutes, the breaker was tripped and the furnace was shut off (the switch moved from on to off). We tried just putting the front heater on and after a while the same thing happened. We then tried the a/c in the salon and the front and it was fine but the air temp was in the 50's. Does an ...

Post Air lock during initial launch - water pump


Trying to find out how common this is. 2nd season my water pump could not draw water during initial season launch. Disconnected hose at the thermostat water input last season. There was a hissing noise of escaping air, and then water started flowing. This year, both engines acted the same way. Disconnected the hose from water input at water pump. Held hose below water line and water strated flowing. Last season I started a test with Globe Run Dry impellers. That was the first time it happened to ...

Post Volvo D6 Diesel Leak


Seems I have sprung a small leak on my port engine. Before I start ripping things apart, is there a common place to look for a leak on these engines after X amount of time? Definitely coming from the engine and not the tank. Saw it last end of season as there was a little diesel in the bilge. No evident tell tale signs of diesel running down the engine that I can see. Probably about 2 cups worth that I was able to see. The port engine has always had a small "dirty" trail under it and assume this ...

Post New Owner of 2001 Carver 396


My wife, Louise, and I, Brian, are the proud new owners of a 2001 Carver 396 ACMY, Foxy Flamingo. We have been looking for the right 396 for over 4 years, and were more than a little surprised, to find her just a 2 hour drive from our home port. She has twin 370 hp Cummins diesels, bow and stern thrusters, all new Garmin electronics, and, the “frosting on the cake”, a Freedom tender lift. We are the local Harbour Hosts for the America’s Great Loop Cruisers Association (AGLCA), and plan to do t ...

Post 2667 Shore water inlet location


Hello All,

Recently picked up a 1981 santa cruz 2667. This particular boat doesn't seem to have come with the shore water inlet option and I am looking to add one.

Would anyone happen to know or have pictures of where this would have been located and where it tied into the water system.

Kind of a long shot, but thanks in advance.
