Have to replace the original 16,000 BTU unit on the bridge of our 455. The A/C guy I have used keeps telling me the Dometic replacement is $3,800, but I can find it on the internet for $1,800 and change. I told him that, but he insists that is not Dometic, but a Chinese knockoff. I keep looking at the internet, on Yachtaid.com, and they say it's Dometic! Anyone have experience with this? Also, I'm pretty handy mechanically - can I replace this myself? Thanks! - JB

From there you can go,

Does anybody know of a resource for replacement Rub Rails for a 1983 Carver 3607 Aft Cabin? I need to replace mine all the way around (looks like the previous Operator played bumper cars with the yacht).

Looking for side hull ventilation covers for 1983 Carver 3607 Aft Cabin. The ones I have are chewed up (previous Operator apparently didn't know how to properly dock a yacht).

Piloted boats most of my life - largest was a twin screw 74' 96 ton tug. I got tired of piloting everybody else's boat - so I bought my own.

I will be asking lots of questions about sources for mostly cosmetic stuff for my yacht.

Our Carver 455 has the original refrigerator, which is still working after 22 years but may need replacement in the near future. Anyway, First Question: we are away from the docked boat (near Tarpon Springs, Fl) a couple of months at a time, and we are wondering if it is better for the refrigerator to leave it on, or turn it off, wipe it out and leave the doors open. We're worried that if it is off for a long period, it might do more harm than good, but we know nothing about this either way. ...

Hi Everybody! We are new owners to a 1997 Carver 455 named "It's About Time". We love the layout of this boat, and plan to make her our Florida home in the 6 worst months of New England weather. If anyone owns one, please let us know so we might be able to find out more about the possible issues and peculiarities of this model. She has Cummins 450s with 1500 hours, and we just serviced the diesels (oil changes, aftercooler replacements, new exhaust wet-side risers, etc. We are docked just i ...
