Post Do you Run Your Bilge Blower When Underway?


Just looking for feedback as to if you tend to run your blower when underway? We have had issues with our CO2 alarms going off when underway and I was wondering if running the bilge blower had anything to do with the airflow and part of the cause? We always keep our windows and cabin door shut and have a 326 Aft cabin.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks all!

Post 1994 Carver 350 Aft Cabin- replacement throttle and Shifters


I've recently purchased a 1994 Carver 350 Aft Cabin. The upper helm shifter and throttle controls are looking a bit worn and I'm looking to replace them. I contacted Carver Parts and Service and they advised that in 1995 the throttles/shifters were Teleflex 4400 series twin level controls. I've search for these online but the ones I've found appear to be quite a bit different.

Attached is a photo of the upper helm that includes both sets of controls. Does anyone know where i can find them?

Post looking for railing supplier


Hi everyone.
I'm looking to replace the port bow rail on my boat as mine was recently damaged in a storm while on dry dock.

I have the part numbers from the parts manual, but i don't know a supplier that can source the parts.

Has anyone had any luck ordering replacement railings?

Post Cockpit Accent Lighting


As I walk up and down transient docks on my cruises, I find many boats with some pretty nice 12 volt lighting. Many blues, a couple of reds, some with changing colors and an occasional standard incandescent light. Thats me.
I would be interested is seeing some evening pictures of your boat at the dock. I am not as interested in 'underwater' lighting at this point. Perhaps if I lived in Barbados.....
Anyway, has anyone modified the lighting on your vessel? If so, was it just a matter of changin ...

Post Refrigerator


I am looking to replace the original Norcold refrigerator in my 1994 CPMY. I have seen new NORCOLD and also a unit I never heard of named Vitrifrigo. Any input on theses. My NORCOLD is a little harder to cool, but it still works good, just thinking that this will be the project this year. Also, anyone ever bring a unit in and out? Doesn’t look like ther is a lot of room coming in the sliding door to the aft cabin up the stairs, across the salon and down he stairs into the galley. I tell you this ...

Post 98 Model 405 A/C Issue


Captains,

So this past summer I took a 2 week vacation by plane to the Bahamas. When I returned the aft cabin a/c was not cooling and the pump was not pumping from the thru hull.

The bow a/c was and is cooling properly and was pumping correctly even though this is a one strainer pump system? I had cleaned the strainers before I left but I am on a Lake and normally this is never an issue. Just time I guess gents?

So my questions are these? Local boat mechanic feels the compressor has gone bad?Suppos ...

Post How to remove wood from cabin entry for refinishing?


Hi all,

There is a piece of wood that you step over when you enter the cabin on my Santego 3467 (1990). I'd like to remove it for refinishing. I removed all of the screws that I could find but it is still firmly attached. The rail for the curtain is on top of this piece. Do I need to remove the carpet to look for more screws?

Thanks!
Barry
