Post cabin door lock - Carver 350 Mariner


Hi - I'm brand new to the forum and hope I'm in the right place for my question. I have a 2002 Carver 350 Mariner and recently the lock to the cabin door (sliding glass door) gave up the ghost. The key turns easily, but the lock mechanism is no longer moving/closing. Has anyone else ever had this issue and, if so, who could I call that could possibly repair it? I tried a locksmith and he said since the lock body is inside the channel of the sliding door, he wouldn't be able to repair it. Should ...

Post AC - Adding a relay to feed the AC water pump - Alarm


Hello everyone, just made it to Mobile AL this week in my Carver from Chattanooga TN. Great trip!

Looking for info on a relay to use (in front / Galley bilge) to close / open the 120V 10Amp circuit that feeds my AC water cooling pump. A 12V powered relay, allowing a 120 V 10-amp circuit to be started and stopped by the relay.

Why am I doing this?
1) I leave my AC on in the boat - It is Hot down here.
2) I am in brackish / salt water now so corrosion could create a leak in that system
3) My Victron ...

Post Water Inlet/Regulator Replacement


I need to replace the water inlet, but unfortunately the replacement is slightly larger than the previous one. Jabsco for some reason decided to replace the old style which needed about a 3 1/8" hole with one that's about 3 1/2". I have a couple of questions I'm hoping I can get some feedback on:

- I was thinking about using this method to drill a larger hole: https://youtu.be/vOUfFaIJUqo?si=wP9k6RR7aC-3mwpc. The transom where the inlet is has fiberglass which is about 1/2" thick. Will this m ...

Hello everyone, just wondering if anyone used the product Airlock ionizer to keep their boats smelling fresh and clean? Keep seeing their ads and read the reviews. Seems very impressive, hoping to get firsthand knowledge.

Post VP 8.1 oil pan leak


My 04 366 strbrd engine developed a small leak. Marina says it’s the oil pan but not enough room to change it out with out pulling the engine which they also don’t think they can do. I asked if they can just lift the engine up enough to change the gasket without fully pulling the engine. They said they’d have to build something to do that. Anyone run into this issue yet? Any suggestions? And yes, I’m seriously considering just putting pads down and checking levels at every start up but I’d pre ...

Spent our 1st weekend on it and couldn't be happier, had plenty of space and everything we needed for my wife and I . Will be getting to know all of you and pick a few brains on the way.
Have fun and be safe
