My 1994 390CPMY has 2 30A AC push button breakers under a weather proof cap where the shore power inlets are. Anyone have a source for these? I believe one is getting weak and needs replacement.

Thanks as always!

So when I moved up from the 44DB to the Carver 506 I knew I was going to miss some of the quality and common sense engineering that I came to enjoy in the Sea Ray. One such goofy thing I decided to change was the access to the engine room. The engine room is accessed via a ladder under the stairs into the cabin. The stairs hinge forward and you climb down a fixed ladder to a landing which you then have to crawl forward five feet on then step down to the center bilge floor where it is almost a st ...

Good morning all.



I have been attempting to flush the raw water lines in the A/C system. No problem with the strainers etc, but still getting HPF issues. Filters are clean (thanks for all the input on that subject) so units are serviced.



Is there a way to flush the system in a recirculating loop or can I only fill till I see it coming out of the drain, turn it off and let it sit for 20-30 minutes? YouTube is great for general info, but I am hoping to hear from folks with the 450 Voyager and how ...

So we have not plugged into shore power for 11 days and my house bank is taking a beating. dropped it down to about 35% yesterday morning pulled anchor and figured things should charge up nicely on the 4 hour planned trip. All the other batteries start1, start2, Bthruster, Sthruster and genny are all 100% as they are essentially disconnected from the house bank.

That being said, as we started moving along I noticed my USB charger read out at 11.3v?? This is not normal while underway. I went down ...

Hi,



I am considering repowering my Carver 360, it came with 2 x Yanmar Diesel Engines 6LPA-STP.

Yanmar local agent is looking for the following info





We need the boat dimension (Loa, Lwl, Bwl, draft and full load displacement).



I have tried reaching out to Marquis and Carver Yachts but understand they are no longer operating.



Can you check if anyone has the info ? I am told the info is available on the GA drawing.



Any help will be greatly appreciated !

Now that the engines are more or less sorted out, I'm on to get some electric worries overboard by replacing and upgrading the current mix of factory and afterwards installation.



I found quite a number of original cable coding on various places. The plugs here and there are marked (numbered with a marker) as well.



I also have a rudimentary wiring scheme from the manual.



What I aim to do:



replace the ground busbar(s) as these are corroded

replace the aftermarket fuse/switch panels for a face plate ...

Too damn old and weak to pull it (the anchor) up along with a ton of weeds and all the newbie boaters are taking up the docks at the park islands. No fun boating in a local cruising ground without being able to easily stop for a swim. So I have decided to install a windlass . . . but so few Riv 28s have them! And with a limited budget (as a Riv owner) I will have to install it myself.
Invited along for the journey:
- Those who have installed a windlass on their Riviera
- Those who have a windlass o ...

I had a no start issue on one of my 95 454xli engines. I traced voltage down to the fuel pump, but it just wasn't cycling when key moved to ON position. Sharing this as I was not able to locate much information online regarding sourcing a replacement pump.

I ordered two fuel pumps since I could not find anyone selling the original pump. I needed to be certain I would have a solution when I returned to the boat. The first was a carter P5001. This pump will work but there is only one inlet, wher ...

Well, I tried to fix my fresh water level sensor today and was entirely unsuccessful. It never reads full empty when empty to I attempted to adjust the pucs, the low level puc stopped working after about 2 turns.

Anyone ever replace one of these? How do you get it out? I tried removing the screws and they just spin.

I suspect they are all glued down and stripped out, is this common?

Any suggested replacement systems?

Thanks.

I have a 10.0BTD Westerbeke Diesel genset/generator, run in freshwater. Has about 380 hrs. I'll get some pictures up shortly. $4600 Great Lakes area.
