Just bought a 1984 Carver Santa Cruz 2667.

It has no hot water heater??
Where can I find one to purchase?
Are the heated by the engine as well as 120v.

I don't imagine by the 12v system

Thanks for reading.

Here is the story. Out on the water genny running fine for about 5 hours start the main engines to head back to the slip, (about a 30 minute trip). Upon return to the slip I realize the genny is not running any longer. For some reason it shut down in that 30 minutes. Being late and having to working the morning figured I'd look into it later. So here is what I have done and know.

Does anyone know where you can get replacement sliding door tracks for the galley sliding door cupboards in the 1995 390 MY cockpit. The ones in the boar have chips missing out of them and need to be replaced. I have tried sourcing them but am not having the best of luck. As well the tracks for the sliding doors above the table in the galley area.4

We have a 1995 Carver 390MY that is new to us and we would like to remove the swim platform from this boat in the fall and rebuild and/or have it modified over the winter or just add new. Is it thru bolted does anyone know or can we remove just the platform from outside. Can anyone give us advice regarding this?

Hello to all!!!!! I had a problem which was answered to the cause of one of my ac units frosting up. The logical solution was that it was low on Freon, ( thanks Hans). Has anyone done this to their units? I found the the service port which was labeled "suction". Makes sense. If you have done this, what did you use as a product? I'm almost sure it's R12. Thanks in advance.

2009 Sojourn with Nova Kool RFU8000 Refrigerator.

Freezer holds at about 20 degrees. This is not cold enough to keep ice-cream frozen.

Fridge holds at about 35 degrees on the top shelf right next to the cooling plate.

Lower shelf is at 40 degrees or more.

These temps are after overnight of not opening the unit.

During the day while using the fridge will get up to 40-45 degrees on the top shelf.

Ice takes a good 12 hours to freeze if not longer.

Cabin temps are below 70 when running the A/C and about 8 ...

So I thought I would share a learning that might help someone later.

My boat 1995 355 aft.
2 30 amp power cords.
Shore 2 runs two ac units and the ac water pump.
Shore 1 runs everything else.

We were in a transient slip hooked to a 50 amp pole and I was using a splitter to go 1-50 to 2-30s.

We were using pretty much everything one morning. Both ac units, stove making eggs, waffle maker, coffee maker, hot water heater,… everything.

Shore one tripped and we lost all of our breakfast making abili ...

This is a head scratcher for me, 1985 3607 aft cabin , with a 30 amp Newmar charger. When connected to shore power the charger functions nornally putting out roughly 10 amps DC into the batteries. Gradually reducing to zero as the bank charge goes up over 13 volts. When I disconnect from shore power and start the generator - There is 12 volts at the charger output ( measured with multimeter ) but zero amps going into the batteries. Stop generator and plug back into shore power - charging star ...

I had an odd thing happen yesterday and I could use some help troubleshooting it.



We took a 5 hour run north on the Mississippi last Monday. Speed was a constant 8mph roughly 1800 rpm. Ran the generator the entire trip. Arrived at the marina after about 5 hours with no issues or drama.



Yesterday we did the same run back down to our home marina after spending the week as transients. We topped off the port gas tank with 7 gallons of gas to balance the tanks since the generator runs off the port ta ...
