Post Removal of multi-CD changer


I have a CD changer which is installed in a cabinet above the electrical panels. I would like to remove the changer (we use Bluetooth now) but there are no visible connections, screws, etc.

Has anyone removed such a device and, if so, how is it done? This cabinet is in a 2000 396 aft cabin.

Post temperture control


I have a 1999 356 aft cabin and would like any suggestions on how to reduce the heat build up in the cabin during the week when not at the boat. My AC control does not allow a dehumidifying setting. I'm thinking of installing insulating/blackout curtains. Has anyone had success on this topic and if so what is the solution?

Post Charger Qs on my Riviera 28


I am winter-exploring my so-far-not-used-by-me Riv and I am a little mystified:
Back in the aft cabin, beside the battery box, is a NOCO Genius Gen2 Mini 2 bank charger that I plug in for an overnight every once in a while as the boat sits wrapped in my yard awaiting spring. So far so good.
Now I dig around under the forward lounge where I find a Guest 2610 10 amp 2-output charger, no idea what it is charging and how it is doing it from so far away from the batteries.
Any ideas or clarifications we ...

Post Troublesome GFI


We’ve recently taken possession of a 1991 Carver 3608. She is our third Carver and we just love her.

The craft has been well maintained but we are experiencing trouble with a GFI outlet which is situated in the entertainment cabinet in the aft cabin. After operating the engines the GFI trips and, as it is “hidden” in a cupboard for some reason, l do sometimes forget to check it which is a problem as it is on the same circuit as the battery charger. Has anyone else experienced this problem and ...

Post 99/00 44 Hardtop express thoughts, opinions, reviews, etc


I'm very familiar with the Sea Ray line up and currently considering a 99-02 400 SunDancer with Cat 3116/3126 engines.

Came across a 2000 Trojan Hardtop Express made by Carver with Volvos and have lots of questions.

Any owners on here? The specs from the 40 SeaRay to 44 Carver/Trojan are pretty different obviously. The Trojan is a much bigger boat all around. We'd be using it on the Chesapeake Bay.

Thanks in advance for the comments!

Post 2007 40 MY salon AC access


Hey all,



We are recently proud owners of a new to us 2007 40 MY model 3808, and the learning has begun...



I found under berth access to 2 stateroom AC of the 3 AC units on-board, but the unit in the salon is behind panels on the starboard side above the stairs to the aft cabin, but below the floor of the cockpit above. No clues in the manual about how to access this unit for maintenance (cleaning screens, coolant, etc. etc.)



Anybody have any suggestions about how to access this unit?



Thanks in adva ...
