Hi Guys

I can't figure out what these switchs do:
Pressure Washer (Water PRessure?)
Volts-2 (up)/Fuel Volts (down)
Both (up)/Pump (down) - switch is next to nav and anchor lights


Thanks

Hello everyone

New to the Forum, we just bought our first Carver, 2000 Carver 506. Our kids (11,13,15) are getting bigger so our 2000 Chaparral getting to small for us.



Very Excited for the adventure but also nervous.

Question, boat is in Baltimore MD and need to make a 40 NM trip back home to Occoquan Bay. For others that own Carver 506, with 6CTA Cummins what is your BPH and how long will the 40NM trip take you guys usually? Will stay around 17knots. I need to get it out of current marina ...

Hi I have a 36' MY. The trim tab reservoir is low and there does not seem to be an easy way to get to it to fill. Is there a way without taking the entire back cabinet apart? Its below the cabinet in the aft cabin right side of bed.

Thanks.

Greetings All,



Looking for some of your experiences and feedback.



I want a Whaler (‘80’s vintage) as my tender/dinghy for my ‘89 3807 Aft Cabin and while I know I can make a 9 footer work bow or stern, I’m wondering if I could get away with an 11 footer or would it’s length & weight be too much.

Reason for Whaler over a rib is my wife and brother who will be with me most on longer trips are both non swimmers and none of us are as young or agile as we once were (lol). I think the designed inh ...

Hey to all the 430 owner/captains out there. Im working on my fuel gauge and sending units. The gauge didn't work on any of the tanks. Come to discover that one of the PO's removed the wiring harness connecting the gauge to the tank selector switches. #facepalm... I was wondering if one of ya'll could take a picture under the helm the helm so I can recreate the wiring. Im sure I can create it on my own, but a picture would sure save me a bunch of time. Also could somebody take a picture of the ...

My 2004 366 with Volvo Penta 8.1’s has been fresh water its whole life. Worried about the cost of new risers and manifolds, I have the marina pull the riser after survey and they sent me this pic but would not elaborate on weather this was normal/acceptable buildup and certainly no offer of cleaning. Pretty sure they’d be happy to add up the $$$$ to replace though. So again I turn to the vast body of knowledge, experience, and general wisdoms this group has to offer!

1. Is this “Normal and s ...

Well it keeps getting better.
After spending a couple months ironing out small issues after taking ownership of my 1999 445 I had it out for a full throttle run and extended motor today. When I got back in the slip and I had a "large" coolant leak. Didn't have time for true detective work. Anyone have to deal with something similar? I would like to narrow it down before starting the trouble shooting,
Thanks

Looking for a new cam for the 454 Crusader cannot find one at parts store anywhere part number is RH RA 050015.

Can anyone guide me to a replacement? Located in Charleston Tennessee but will drive or pay for shipping.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone got some time away and relaxed a bit. We have decided to move to Mobile AL on the ICW. We will be moving our Carver from Lake Lanier GA to Chatanooga TN so I can take a trip down the river systems (part of the loop) down to Mobile AL. where we will keep her long term in the Dog River in brackish water.

1) I have already installed flush ports on my Engines and generators for de-salting when we venture into the salt water which will likely be often. I did a v ...

Generators have been the bane of my boating existence. We had a new boat built for us years ago and even it had generator issues. In today's world I feel like technology has gotten to the point that the generator is no longer necessary to have heat, air conditioning, and all the other AC based loads we enjoy. I've had an electrical upgrade on my projects list for quite ...
