Post Some Yearly maintenance checks


Some things came to mind when thinking about the continuity checks for the bonding system.....should be low ohm numbers when checking, higher readings will tell if there are corroded connections/bad wiring etc.



While you have the tester out, check your fuel fill bonding to ground ( applies to metal ports )....should also be low ohm reading, if there is NO continuity get the connections fixed before the next fuelling takes place. While you are there, closely inspect the sealing "O" ring on the c ...

Post Carver 4207 LOA


I was wondering if any Carver 4207 owners can confirm the actual LOA on a stock boat from Pulpit to end of Swim Platform, not including a dingy overhang which would vary based on boat and lift.

Appreciate it

Post How many shaft anodes?


I removed all my shaft anodes to clean all the growth that was on them and most were pretty well gone. There was 5 on each shaft, is that to many or should I replace them all. It’s a 2001 356 7.2 Mercruisers. The hull anode is in good shape.

Post 10EOZD Generator 2009 44 Sojourn - Coolant Change


New to me at the first of the year. Boat has always been fresh water in Georgia and now Alabama.

I need to change the coolant (looks like it has never been changed). Here is the problem and probably the reason.



The generator is placed on the port side of the boat tucked under the back platform. There is about 4 inches of clearance above the generator and there are no access holes in the platform.

After removing the front, service side, and top sound covers; I can barely reach my hand in far enou ...

Post Boat Crashes into Docks


These people were lucky to say the least. When the boat veers you can see someone being ejected from it before it crashes into the docks.https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2150482

Post Access to aft portlight


In a 1999, 404 was wondering if anyone has had to get access to the starboard portlight behind the shower. In the process of replacing all the seals and screens and wanted to replace or at least remove the old tattered screen for appearance. Have not yet started the project but was hoping for some advise.
