I have a 2000 396 Aft Cabin. The windlass is running very slowly and to get it to work I have to turn off all other electrical devices. Could I need a new battery and, if so, which battery is sending power to the Maxwell Freedom 800 windlass? Help!!

Thanks.

Looking at a '97 445 aft cabin but I don't see many posts on here on this model. Carver Yachts site lists the 440 and the 455 as closest models. Am I missing something? Any known issues with the 445? Thanks

Im happy its my first Carver, and hopefully not my last.

BIUSY weekend! I had a few lose ends to finish up, I replaced the fresh water pump with a new Johnson, no more surge. I also got the EDECOA 2500W/5000W inverter installed. Since it was a bit wider that the one I had, I had to move it to the other side of the salon stairs. It is hooked to the house bank, with a 150A breaker. I tried it, and I will say, with the 1100W Coffeemaker it went from 100% to 91% in the time it took to brew. I am looking for a smaller coffeemaker for when we are on the hoo ...

I have a 1994 390 CPMY with 7.4 carb Big Blocks. The props are 22 x 22, and that is what is on the build sheet. I can hit 4000 rpm under ideal conditions, and it is not standouts, but has to build, and top speed of 29MPH. Not too shabby for a boat of this size. However, should I be hitting a higher rpm? I was wondering about maybe moving to a 22 x 21? GPH full throttle is approx 66 GPH. At 3200 I am kicking 42 GPH. Any input?

I am starting to get a slight odour on board, nothing major and unnoticeable when you are in the boat. This odour is upon entering the boat when arriving, definitely permeated or should I say starting to permeate sanitation hose.

Boat is going on 13 now so it is about time to swap some hoses while it is still not an issue. Problem is there is probably 80 feet of this stuff snaked in the worst places imaginable and probably installed before the boat was put together so ease of installation is top ...

Never did post a pic of the MarinAire unit swap. Out with the old, in with the new. Took me about 4hrs to do with lots of thought and prep work prior. Original Marine Air was noisy, inefficient and just not as cold as the newer units out there, MarinAire took care of all those issues.

Hello all!
My wife Linda and I just made the switch from sailing a 1987 Freedom 30 Sloop, to a 1996 Carver 325 aft cabin. Over the past three weeks we have been busy making it our own, and planning and implementing upgrades. I am still amazed at the increased interior space over the sailboat! Our homeport is Manitowoc, WI., the state were these amazing boats are manufactured!
Stand by for questions!

All - The admiral and I are looking at purchasing a 1985 3607 aft cabin. Were there any recurring issues with this Model that we should be looking at ? The boat looks well cared for with a number of upgrades ( Marine survey looks good ). Looking for any input from this forum

Thanks in advance
