There is a glass window above the cockpit, under the radar arch (see photo with window at top) and behind the helm on my 396. I would like to either remove it or replace it since it is scratched and generally ugly. Has anyone done this project?

In lieu of replacing or removing, someone suggested tinting the glass. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

In my attempt to drain all the old gasoline from my 356 AC I have purchased a electric fuel pump that pumps at 3 psi, it says it can be used as a lift and transfer pump. I created a wiring harness that keeps everything safe so there is no sparks produced and the switch is outside the salon. The issue I have is the pump would not pull the fuel from the fuel line going to the engine, I had to unscrew one of the plugs on top of the port and starboard fuel tanks and put a hose down in to pump out th ...

I upgraded all my lights to LED, if any one needs these housings and gold bezels just pay shipping. Aprox 15 housings may be more.

Anyone know how many people can safely fit on a 1996 carver 355 aft cabin? We are having an engagement party and would like to do a short harbor cruise? I've had 6 people on it last summer (our first year), but we are looking at about 15 this time. Tried to find answers online but feeling like a complete rookie.
I know that we're need 1 life jacket per person but does the coast guard limit how many people?
Thanks for your help.

HI All
I edited my question from last year, I don't know if it shows up as a new post?
I am replacing my interior 20 w halogen lights, with 2W G4 LED , which was recommended to me on my post in the fall. The ones I purchased say non dimmable on the web page, does any one know where i can source the dimmable LED's, I only need for the salon. I have changed out the rest of the boat.
thanks
Don

The port prop shaft in my 1985 3207 with crusader 270s offers more resistance to turning than the starboard shaft. The starboard shaft rotates quite easily by hand whereas the port shaft has noticably more resistance to it. Not crazy, but is definitely noticeable.



The marina mechanic said my starboard side cutlass bearing could use replacing. There isn't much movement in my opinion to warrant replacing yet, but in any case, that is the side that turns more easily, which doesn't make sense to m ...

I was looking for new anchor line and thought I'd pass this link along. I only needed 1/2 in for my 3207, but bought this 5/8 150' for the same price. no, I'm not a seller. Just sharing the link as it seemed like a good deal..

Hey folks.
I would like to know how you clean and condition the 'ultra leather' fabric in the main salon? I did find this one item that specifically states 'ultra leather' in its language but could not find anything else. https://www.goclean.com/page_458_125/leather-vinyl-care
The Carver documentation does not mention 'conditioning' the fabric.
I am gonna reach out to the Ultrafabric company on Monday to hear what they say but am interested if any of you folks are doing anything to keep it loo ...

Folks;



My boat currently has a Volvo Penta QL Bow Thruster and I am still researching stern thrusters. I have a large rock shelf on the port side of my boat slip that gives me a bit of stress on a windy day, as the wind has a tendency to push the stern over. I have been fine so far, but I just think a stern thruster in addition to my bow thruster would be really handy. Cost has been a big factor in this decision, but the search still goes on.



I have been looking at two types so far.

Just wanted to say hi. We've lived aboard now for over seven years on a variety of boats. In the middle of transitioning to an 88 Santego 27 that we just acquired. In decent shape, but LOTS of questions. Thanks for adding us.
