So my blowers have stopped working. I left the blowers on after running the boat for a little while. I will not run the engines without the blowers being on.



Now I get nothing and this is what I have tried so far. Boat is a 98 Carver 405 and new Rule bilges and blowers were installed 2 years ago and 100 hours ago.



So I initially checked the blower switch on the helm, only 1 helm by the way. It has continuity, but to double check my multimeter. I swapped it out with the forward bilge switch and I ...

Ladies and gents, I want to replace the cooling system hoses on my mercruiser 5.7 inboards. I was able to get a few of the part numbers but some of the hoses are so old that the numbers are not able to be read on either of my engines. Does anyone have a list of these part numbers? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone,



We purchased our 1998 - 355 AC last year. Survey did indicate that this ladder bracket as an issue needing a fix. Now that we’ve hauled out, I’d like to address this somehow.



Does anyone have a suggestion on how I may go about tackling this issue?



There doesn’t seem to be saturated material above those bolts in the transom. But it’s possible there is some saturated material around the cracks.



I would appreciate any recommendations on how to address this one! We're not keen on u ...

How much clearance do you have between the fill cap on your heat exchangers and the underside of the cabin sole?



I'm looking at a 3207 to buy and there's almost no clearance which makes access to fill the heat exchangers difficult. Is it possible that the heat exchangers were added by a previous owner? (I've emailed Carver with the hull number and that question, they haven't responded). Does the access to the engine bay extend farther aft on fresh water cooling boats to allow access?

What a disaster. Mind boggling that a stuck boat causes over 6 billion $ a day in delays. Never thought so many containers could fit on 1 boat then again i have a 41 CMY and just one container on it would most likely cause it to sink. https://www.freightwaves.com/news/score ... suez-canal

Hello fellow boaters. I have a mid 80s 32 ft Carver. It's a twin inboard with two stringers running between an aft and midship bulkhead. Engines attach to the stringers in that region.



No signs of structural stress, but moisture levels in the stringers and midship bulkhead are about 29 pct. Drilled some exploratory holes in the vicinity of the infamous limber holes. Soft wood. Not exactly rotten, but soft. Core sample I took revealed it is plywood. As I get farther from the limber holes, the mois ...

We purchased a 2004 Carver 444 last year. Looking to add a dinghy lift on the swimboard. There are already some cleats on there, but not sure if they were for a dinghy lift? Please see photos. If anyone can tell me what they think these are for, I'd appreciate it. (We bought it from the second owner and he couldn't tell us what they were used for. We did figure out the St.Croix, but they no longer make the parts) I'm guessing we will not be able to use the existing hardware, so I'd apprecia ...

Gents,



After my STBD transmission quit working early last year due to the packing within failing, the time has come to repair. After having a technician come out and look at it, he said that the only way to service it was to remove the motor as there is no room to pull the transmission out. I mentioned to him that if I made an access hatch in the inside of my cabin, can he do it that way. He replied that he can. My question for you is has anyone made an access hatch in the inside of their cabin ...

I have teh original A/C pump circa 1994. Work great but i know the days are limited How big a pump is needed or do you have for twin units, a 12K and a 16K? Both run off the same raw water. Pump

Just purchased a 1989 48 foot Californian\Carver Aft Cabin Motor yacht. Vessel is equipped with two 85 gallon saddle tanks in the engine room and one 350 gallon tank under the main bedroom bed. The previous owner only used the two 85 gallon saddle tanks. The attached photo shows, i assume, the valving required to feed from the main tank. What is the proper valve positions required to feed from the main tank? Are there any other valves in the engine room required to be set to feed from the main t ...
