Apologies for the duplicate post, posted in gen maintenance, probably better suited here:



Boat is a 1996 390 Express, complete closed cooling, only thing cooled by the raw water pump is the risers and heat exchanger.



Issue: Boat is running hot on the engine circulation pump side. New thermostat, admittedly some air in the system.



Boat was apart for recent valve job, did not run hot prior.



After about 5 minutes of run time the manifolds are about twice as hot as the port engine that runs properly. ( ...

I recently find myself involved with a friend's boat that has a problem with the front head's shower. The shower has a single lever faucet and the shower is not receiving much hot water. All other hot water outlets on boat are fine. I can't seem to locate where to buy a mixing valve assembly (at this point my assumption is this is where the problem lies).



The other issue is how to gain access to the faucet assembly. There is no visible access from the shower. I can see some possible access points ...

Anyone know bridge clearance on a 356 Aft Cabin. I have found some specs of waterline to bridge of 17’ 3”. I have an anchor light on the deck roof, so not sure of clearance. Guess I could measure light, but it’s a little tricky getting out on the roof, or I could take down the Bimini. If there’s a spec somewhere, much easier. Thanks

I know I’m kinda the odd-man out here at times due to the boats age and the fact we have Ford based PCM engines. So here’s my head scratcher. I picked up a decent manual vacuum pump to draw through the dipstick, when I used it I only pulled about 1.5-2 quarts out. Now the ‘76 PCM 351W has what pretty much seems to be a center sump, I read something about it that they did that so no matter what pitch/roll or plane you were on the pickup would always have oil. The tube is actually not in line with ...

Anyone know where to find replacement parts for windshield wipers?

The a/c in the salon is leaking water onto the carpet. I checked the pan under the unit and the hose is not blocked to drain the condensation water. Otherwise, the unit work well. Does anyone have any ideas for the cause of the water leak?

No local HVAC companies will even take a look at the unit. "Don't' work on boats" they say.

We are new to this so here we go... New to us this spring C40. Everything surveyed fine and worked flawlessly during the couple of weeks were able to enjoy the boat when first purchased. Now we can't seem to get things to cool down below 78 degrees. The boat was maintained during our absence (8 weeks or so) including system flushes (Barnacle Buster)

Recent history, we had the boat out of the water for a couple of weeks for bottom paint and other repairs. Had HPF message in master shortly af ...

Hello all,

I am starting to look at Carver Voyager in the 2000 to 2007 year models, but I am finding it difficult to tell differences between 56, 57, 56Se, 570, 53, 530 etc.

For example: If the 53' is 3' shorter then the 56' where does the 3' get squeezed from?

Any charts comparing would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance,
GFY
