Hi. After haul out fall 2020 port alum tank started to leak from an unseen site. Tank was full and appears to have pinhole leak about a cupful daily. Location is Mission Bay, San Diego.

Post Engine compartment blowers
- Posted by: LetGoJones » May 19th, 2021, 12:30 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hello working on my 2004 Carver 36 and the engine compartment blowers are not getting power, I have power at the helm switch and cabin panel but no power to the blower motor themselves, I fed 12v with a power probe directly to the motor and the blower worked? So I checked the ground on the bus bar and it's good? So where could be the problem?

I have Cummins 6BTA s on my 1998 Carver 405.
Port engine ran hot coming from having it pulled for bottom painting. Found the impeller Shot with all the fins off. Out of my pay grade to finish it up right. Hired the local engine guy and he ended up needing to remove a motor mount to pull the water pump and after cooler and by doing this the shaft must be disconnected from the transmission just to be sure that it won’t get bent. I have read that Cummins should have thought this through before putt ...

- Forum: Electronics & Navigation
I am interested in getting an autopilot system that will work with my Simrad Evo3 chart plotter for my 2000 396. I am finding it difficult to find detailed information related to installation. Is that because this is something you should not try and do yourself? I've pretty technically capable... That said I am not very knowledgeable on hydraulics, and I am having difficulty finding detailed information about how to install a net new autopilot, or even details about what brand/model steering s ...

Post 356 AC trim tab question
- Posted by: V12diablo » May 17th, 2021, 9:38 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
So, I fired up both engines this weekend , tested the transmissions, and all seamed good. Tested the trim tabs on both sides and the did not seem to move down, the would move up slowly. Is there a procedure for testing these or is there anything I should be looking for. All this was down out of the water as the boat is still on blocks.

Post Dual SideShift Stern Thruster Install
- Posted by: RussL » May 17th, 2021, 2:18 pm
- Forum: The Project Center
My new to me 2000 Carver 396 came with a Side Power 12v bow thruster which for most situations was adequate for docking, but the marina we are in has strong wind and currents, so I decided to add a stern thruster. This boat has extremely limited internal space at the transom so an most brands of thruster would not work. I opted for a dual 24v SideShift ST350 configuration to limit the needs for interior components.
Day 1, Out of the water!

Post City water pressure
- Posted by: pepmyster » May 17th, 2021, 1:41 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Guys, I'm sure this has been discussed before. I went to the boat to glue down my Sea Deck, I connected my city water hose to the boat. No pressure out of taps. Pressure , a lot, from the end of the hose but when I connected it to the boat, nada. I searched because I'm sure this has happened. Please enlighten me.
Mucho thanks, Andrew
