If anyone has resorted to using a portable generator, such as a Honda 2000 for example, on a 28 Riv . . . where did / do you store it and run it? Looking for a short term solution before going solar for staying out all week/weekend. Everything major on this boat seems to be 110V - TV, stove, fridge, A/C if I can fix it, water heater.

Recently purchased 2009 44 Sojourn and the upstairs fridge was not running on 12V power. Runs fine on 120V AC w/ shore power and/or generator.

I verified all the breakers were on and finally decided the little inverter on the back of the fridge had probably gone out (I have had this happen before on other boats). I pulled the fridge and found that the 12V wires coming off the inverter were not connected to anything. Just tied up on the back of the fridge like they were from the factory. I loo ...

We own a 2013 C34 with twin Mercruisers and have spent some time in the bilge so if I can be of any help I will pipe in when I can offer a helping hand. Safe boating to all.

I have been narrowing this down and ask for more input. 1994 390CPMY. 12V start, 12V genset, 2 6V GC Batteries house. 3 bank smart charger.



I have narrowed it down to these two systems. Both are expandable.

The port gas tank on my Carver Riviera has water in it. On my last trip to the have the boat hauled out for the winter, the engine quit on me and it couldn't be restarted. When I removed the fuel filter it was full of water. The mechanic who winterized the boat installed a new filter and the engine ran for 20 minutes while he completed winterizing it, so there was no damage to the carb or the engine.

Would installing a water separating filter help? if so should this replace original filter or b ...

Hi All,

I went to charge my batteries the other day and found the house battery wasn't holding a charge. I didn't have time to troubleshoot but want to go back and do some testing. Test all the batteries.

I was wondering if anyone has any advice on a Battery Tester / Load Tester, multi tester units. I've been reading about all the different types. Articles mention the load testers are best used around 70 degrees ( it's about 50 to 60 degrees colder around here so that won't work), some mentioned t ...

Hi to all members.
As new members today we are looking forward to discussing topics on the forum. We are Les and Carol registering under name of Caroltime. We have a 1995 santego with 454 crusaders and love the last 7yrs with this boat. It has been a great boat.

I have about 700 hours on the generator. Fluids, plugs, new carburetor etc were changed 2 years ago and about 100 hours.

I am wanting to replace the impeller, all the hoses, and anything else ya might suggest. I see where I can purchase the impeller and maintenance kit online. Just curious if ya had a preferred place to do business with.

Even after the mechanic in TX put the new carburetor on, the engine seems to hunt and peck as we called it back in my day. It like a Idle Control Valve is stuck ...

Does anybody have a recommendation on how to remove the upper helm floor cover on 1991 Carver 33 Flybridge? I am trying to run some new wires from back of instrument panel to arch for a night light. I have included pictures of panel. Thanks in advance.
