Sharing my learnings and solution to recent refer issue:
I bought a battery power supply/inverter:
After running the refer from the "pure sine wave" AC output for a day or so, i returned to shore power. No issues until a day or so later..
The refer died, would not run off AC power, shore or from the inverter. Coincidence? Im not sure if the inverter caused the issue, but fair enough warning to those who may try this.
Troubleshooting showed no output from AC power supply and the refe ...

The transom door has a latch built into the rail - a round plastic block with a bolt thumb guide and a pin that slides into a recess in the stbd aft rail. The system was damaged beyond repair and I am looking for a replacement door rail with this slide latch. From the parts list I believe the P/N is 6796108. I could replace with an external bolt or hook latch but would like to find a replacement first. Any source suggestions? Thank You.

Good Day All,



Hope this note finds everyone well and healthy.



Fuel injected 350 Crusader XL



Getting ready to put in for the season. Noticed during engine run up, that we have what appears to be air bubbles in the Racor filter. I changed the fuel line, tank fittings, O-rings on intake side of filter. Removed and replaced the feed line from the inside of fuel tank. Switched the lines to the opposite filter for the other engine, issue still present. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look ne ...

Hi everyone.
I forgot to get a before and after pic, and started with the worst seat.
Still requires a few more coats, then onto the captain's chair, then the lounge.
I used this on my Zodiac tender seats years ago, and they still look great.

Once painted, I recommend a vinyl treatment followed by a vinyl sealer.
Being in the flooring industry, I use flooring products, and they seem to work well.

Has anyone repowered their boat with a larger engine/ hp?



I have a 89 Carver Montego that I have been restoring. \

The boat sat in a farmers field for over 7 years.



I put it in the water once 2 years ago, then the original Mercrusier 260 5.0 died.

One Mechanic told me it was a cracked block.

It didn't even turn when wrenching it... so it is completely seized.



Its taken me some time to find an engine.



I found a 7.4L 310/330 hp for a great price.

I have not been able to find a 260. and to be hones ...

I have a few blisters on my hardtop and need to find the paint code for Carver Anthracite for a 2018 C43 Coupe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I searched posts but didn't see this question asked. I have a 406 and am looking for the AC Strainers. I see one in the forward bilge. Is that for both AC units or is there another one I cant fine? Thanks.

So this has been an issue since I owned the boat and needs to be rectified. Neither bilge pump will run from the continuous switch on the fly bridge and only the fwd one will run from the continuous switch on the lower helm. Both work on the floats. I’ve only gone as far as pulling the panels and checking connections there and checking the pumps for loose or unused wires. What next? Any ideas?
