Has anyone used aftermarket impellers or changed graphite bushing to bronze on Sherwood E35 pumps?
TIA.

Hi all , I presently have a swift 34 Beneteau 2016 and I'm thinking of selling for the reason of having a bigger boat. I fell upon the Carver MY 43 also the 444. I really enjoyed the layout of these models. As a boater exploring the different models of Carver, it can be very confusing. so basically what should I look out for when I search a model like the 43 or 444 between the years of 2005 -2009. I am planning to go down to the Bahamas with her. Is she seaworthy? can I travel with this boat sev ...

We purchased a 2000 53’ Voyager in December of last year. The boat had sat for 2 years so we knew that there would be multiple projects.



We cannot seem to fix fuel issues created by the lack of use. We have fungus in our tanks and have tried many things to try and fix including fuel polishing , bio cide fuel additive, over 550 gallons of new diesel and we change the racor filters every eight hours.



Is there anyone who can give us guidance on what we need to do next?

Hello, we are new to purchasing a big boat. We are in the process of purchasing a 1989 Carver 3607. The boat looks nice.

From an aesthetic standpoint, it seems clean and in good shape (for a boat its age). We have had minimal contact with the owners and are working through the owner of the marina, who is doubling as the broker. The broker/marina owner seems trustworthy and we will likely keep the boat at that marina (so not like he will sell us a bad boat and we will never see him again). T ...

Hello everyone... I'm new here and would like to know if anybody knows how to get wires up to the helm station from the engine compartment?

Just put the paperwork in on a 2003 460.

Engines have 895 hours. Generator has 750 hours.

Engines are Volvo TAMD75E 480hp.

Looking for any and all good info on the boat.

Real world fuel economy numbers at say 10 mph and approx 20 mph cruise.



Will be wanting to change out all the lights to LED.

Ice maker on bridge is cooling but not making ice. Would like to be able to use it if anyone has any suggestions. I am not sure if it is the water valve or the head unit.



Any other good info would be appreciat ...

During cruise and while piloting from the Bridge of our 1984-85 Carver 28 Voyager my CO2 detector will often pick up a reading and begin sounding an alarm. We have twin Mercruisers (GM 350s) and they are operating normally and are well maintained (fluids, filters, etc.) We keep all the windows and doors and hatches closed so I am trying to figure out how fumes are getting into the Main Cabin. The area under the refrigerator is partially open to the Bilge Compartment, so this could be the culp ...

I have a 1995 Carver 325 aft cabin. Shore power 2 runs my 2 AC units and the pump. With both AC's running they draw about 22 amps and are trouble free. However, when there is a significant load put on shore power 1 (microwave, water heater, toaster etc.) this often causes the shore power 2 main breaker to trip.



When this happens the load on shore power 1 is not what I would consider to be excessive, typically pulling around 15 amps.



Any suggestions of what may be causing this or where to start ...

On a different thread, there was some discussion about whether or not 120VAC outlets could be mounted in an engine room.



I wanted to follow up on that, because my last boat had one (that was installed post-manufacturer) and I was just on a boat this past weekend (2015 470 Sea Ray) which also had one that was obviously manufacturer-installed.



I'm wondering what the exact language is? I have an older copy of the ABYC rules and don't see anything in there. I would expect it to be covered in sect ...
