I have a 1991 Carver 3698 aft cabin. I need some help to understand the best way to clean/purge and discharge my freshwater holding tank. Thanks.

Hi all,

I recently became part of the club by purchasing a 2007 Carver 35SS. First thing that strikes me as odd - what's the dang thing called? It was advertised as a 36SS, some documentation shows it indeed as a 36SS, others show 35SS. Based on much reading, I am *fairly* convinced it is a 35SS.

Admittedly, this is my first yacht purchase (I do also own a pontoon, but those are extremely simple relative to these things) and I'd hoped to find details about the layout, controls, maintenance items, ...

My 20 year old Walker Airseps are spent and I am leaning towards replacing them with the Seaboard Marine EnviroVent System. However, with that system the preferred breather port connection is on the front timing cover. However, in that location is a tachometer made by Aetna Engineering, model 8901 (see pic below). My understanding is that this tach is used as the input to the synchronizer gauge at the helm, which I never use.



So my question: has anyone else ever removed this tach, and if so, c ...

My 1995 440 aft cabin has two 50A power inlets. When I bought the boat it came with two long 50A cords which then go into a splitter, and I plug this splitter into a single 50A shore outlet. This has worked fine so I don't think I really have the need to plug into two 50A shore outlets.



We're cruising so each marina is different, but I was thinking about buying an extension since there have been a few times our cords wouldn't reach. Since we normally use only a single 50A outlet, is there a pr ...

Hi all,



I just purchased a 2007 Carver 35SS, 3rd owner. I’m trying to figure out how to pull out the microwave/coffee maker combo unit and replace with a more updated convection/air fryer appliance.



There are no obvious mounting/securing screws, nor do I see a trim piece that I can remove - other than the hole cut in the cabinetry itself, this doesn’t appear to be a trim piece, like surrounding the TV or cabinet doors which may reveal screws.



All I see is a black board that seems to just be sittin ...

So, since we took ownership of our 1999 445 (Diesel) we have had some Stink issues in both head areas and under the galley sink. We removed and cleaned both commodes (Muriatic acid needed to remove years of scale). Rebuilt both Vacu-flush pumps and replaced duck-bills. Also replaced the line from Aft head to grey water holding tank. The heads are now stink free but we cannot get the smell out of the cabinets area under the galley sinks. The sink plumbing is there but also the Vacuum pump for the ...

Hello. I'm an owner of a 2006 Carver 56' Voyager and have been dealing multiple tail shaft failures on both Starboard and Port side. Prior to owning the boat in 2018 both shafts and propellers were replaced. Since owning the boat in 2021 have experienced 3 tail shaft failures. Item that continues to be discussed is the shaft length and the distance from the aft strut to the propeller hub (currently 4" and overall length of shaft is 2.25" x 122"). Failures are occurring at forward end of prop ...

Howdy all! During the survey on my ‘04 366, we found the Novakool RFS7501 ac/dc side by side fridge freeze runs well but is only running on dc. I’ve read the 101N0510 controller is the common failure on these and easy enough to replace but is a $300ish part going into a 20yr old fridge. Is it worth fixing or just deal with it till the whole thing dies? If it only worked on AC, this would be an easier decision…gotta keep the bevy’s cold on the hook! With it constantly running on dc, I have to ...

Good Morning

I have a 1977 Carver 2276 in great condition but missing a few items. It has two sinks, one in the Galley and one in the head. I am missing both water tanks for those. Any idea of what they would be or are spec'd? If not original, what would work...

I also notice two optional seats on either side of the motor. Same question, what was there originally (spec'd) or what might work now? They would need to be mounted tot he transom or somehow removable for storage/access below in the deck
