Does anyone know where the AB Switch for the coaxial cable is on a 65' Marquis? We want to use the air antenna on the hardtop to watch digital channels with our digital TV.

The Ventrifigo fridge has been awesome! Today when I opened the door, I saw the fridge temp at 40 and freezer at 27. I never saw it like this before, as it has been running at 34 and 8 above. The fan was running, door light came on too. I didn’t have time to stick around and check it in an hour, so I am going back tomorrow afternoon to see if it is back to cold. Perhaps a defrost mode? I am lost about this and also a tad upset as it has been running so so well. The light came on and off. I was a ...

Experiencing water leaking down from the topside at bow level.
Leak is related to rain or sea water spray_can be fresh or salted depending on.
Not enough to activate bilge, about 2 gallons after a storm or a heavy sea navigation.
I did fully epoxy the chain locker because many paths where visible there but still water leaking from the bow…

Did you already experience that issue on a Carver 530?

The SIDESHIFTER bow thruster is a completed project. AAfter mounting it while on the hard, we waited until I had a weekend on teh water to wire it up. Hard to figure out where to place the girl batteries. They are BIG to form a 24V system. Anyway, on this 1994 390 CPMY I used the side hatch in teh forward berth. originally I was to put both there. However, bedside space issue, I wanted to distribute the weight better So one on the port side, one at the bow, near the chain locker. I fashioned a s ...

Anyone know a boat electrician in Chattanooga. I want to install an inverter.

Found this while thinking of ways to improve my cooking situation on the boat. I had been very seriously considering putting in a newer electric stove until someone here pointed out the amperage. Since then I have been strongly considering installing a propane set-up, and still am, but this link does give food for thought.

So ive been running my boat in open water last few days and for an unknown reason will just shut off. Doesn't get hot, oil pressure looks norm, has gas. I can start it again within 5-10 mins and it will run for a while then shut off. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have twin Ford 351's in a 1976 Carver Mariner 2896

I am taking out my generation for generation for crusader 4 54 to be rebuilt.. One of the lifting rings is missing. The existing ring is installed on the starboard side of the engine towards the Stern. Does anyone know if the other ring should be installed at the opposite side of the engine so port side towards the bow?

In the attached picture you can see the existing ring and you can see where I took a bolt out to go size it next to the number one cylinder. Does anything know if this is the co ...

I have been posting in several areas about my potential purchase of a 2000 450 Voyager and appreciate the response but here is another question that came out in the survey.



Has the 480 Volvo TAMD74P that are marked as 2600rpm max but during sea trial it would only achieve 2135 port and 2152 starboard.



I have read post about different props keeping boats from hitting top speed but I don't think over or under sized props would effect hitting to RPM's...



Looking for causes as to why it may not hit 2 ...

Hello, I am new to the forum and just picked up a gas 1986 Aft Cabin from estate sale. Couple questions that hopefully a member can help answer. How are the fuel tank senders accessed? I see them on top of tank, but insufficient clearance to remove. Hatch under carpet? Behind wall panel? Where are drain plugs located in keel or bottom? Are engine room lights AC or DC? Where is switch located? Thanks for any assistance in getting her back on the water.
