My boat was just hauled out for winter, now up on blocks till spring. I need to pull my port prop shaft to address a vibration. I am not quite able to slide it all the way aft, clearing the strut/cutlass bearing before that aft end of the shaft hits the pavement. Is it OK to remove the strut to gain the clearance I need? If so, is there anything I should now about the removal and subsequent remounting of a prop shaft strut?

I cannot figure out how to drop the center table down to make the center bed. We just purchased the boat last spring and tried to lower the table this past weekend. Looking under the table I found 4 hinges with 8 screws mounted into the side of the boat and the pedestal doesn't seem to move or twist. I called the previous owner but he said he never remover it. I'm wondering if the first owner made it permanent. Any advice?

Hey, looking for a little advice, still new to the boat I'm inquiring about. On the starboard side there are two 4" venting tubes coming in to the engine compartment. One is for the blower, what is the other for?

Hi,

Does anyone know where the holding tank vent filters are located on a 2001 404? There are in the parts manual but I cannot seem to fine them on the boat.

Thanks in advance for any clues.

Hello! I figured I'd take a second and introduce myself. My wife and I are hot on the trail of a 1999 Voyager 530...going to take a look tomorrow. We just sold our Silverton a couple weeks ago. We thought we'd take the winter to shop, but this seems to be a good deal and we might just pull the trigger tomorrow. So we might be joining this esteemed bunch permanently! Anything we should be aware of as we look the boat over...any problems specific to this model/year? She's got the Cummins 6CTA's w/ ...

We have a 1988 Voyager 2827. LOA measures out to about 34FT

Currently has a 9ft or so Avon inflatable on a Sea Wise davit system.



I don't really like the davit because of the wear and tear it puts on the dinghy, but it does work very very well otherwise, very easy to load and unload.



However I'd like a center console dinghy, and ideally the most HP I can get.



I just can't quite wrap my head around how to pull that off or what is even achievable.

is towing my only option?

Hello everyone,
I live in the Tampa/St. Pete area and am in the process of selling my Tiara and purchasing a 2000 Carver 406. Love the look of the boat and all of the comfort and performance it offers. Looking forward to becoming a new member of the forum and digging in to all of the great information you offer.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has fiberglass swim platform parts from a salvage Carver 466 Motor Yacht. The factory no longer offers the platform and has destroyed the molds.

The swim platforms lower half is separated into three sections, A-Port B-Center C-Starboard. I am looking for the Port lower section. This section seams under the stainless trim on the swim platform rubrail and is held to the center section with screws and 5200. My section was damaged and lost at sea. Steve 973 ...

Remember, this is not the ocean, the wave frequency is much shorter and much more dangerous.
