I had a RAYPILOT 650 with a Type I pump on my 1994 CARVER 390CPMY. I finally found the label on the cylinders, and have the capacities, so I am wondering if I bought the proper pilot? I went on what was on here. Does anyone know if the steering (SEASTAR) cylinders were plumbed up as parallel or series? If series I am A OK, if Parallel than I hav bought the wrong unit and will be eating Auto Pilot pie.

We are new to the forum, and are in the process or purchasing a 2003, 360 Sport Sedan with 8.1 Volvo's. The initial inspection and survey went very well. Everything dry, tight, solid and in tact. When we started the motors for the sea trial, the starboard motor stalled, restarted however shows low voltage? The owner said he has replaced the battery already and needs to fix the low idle?forum



At this point we were out of time and will come back for the sea trial and short haul Wed.



Any thoughts o ...

Today is a happy day for me. Earlier today I went in to my credit union and I made the final payment on my Carver. She's all mine now. A good feeling to own her free and clear.

We all know how to tie up our boats however are you really doing it correctly? I know I do need to check my method as after seeing this video I am no longer sure. Interesting to say the least.

I have a water leak on the left side below the window, causing the fabric on the the wall to get wet in a hard rain. I think it’s a window leak any pointers on pulling and resealing would be great. Thanks.

I am in the process of purchasing a 1990 Santego 38, and will need to modify the shower enclosure. As my son's like to say I have a big posterior. I figure that it will be faster to enlarge the door of the enclosure while I work on my personal renovation. This will be one of my winter projects. Has anyone done a modification of the shower on their boats?

I'm wondering if there are any 405 or similar model owners out there that have had PSS shaft seals installed/replaced. Can you advise if they had to remove the props or rudders to get the job done or any otehr issues encountered in the process? How long did the job take and approximate cost if you are willing to share that.
Thank you,
Frank

New to the forum and had a question regarding the engine size on a vessel we are looking to purchase. We have our eye on a 2000 Carver 404 with the twin Cummins 220 hp diesel engines.



I am wondering if these engines are under powered for a 40' vessel that weighs over 25000 lbs. I see similar sized boats with the twin 270's or 330's. I have read lots about overloading diesel engines and the issues this can cause.



We really like the vessel, but concerned about the smaller engines.



Are there any C ...

G36, Viper and others

My 3 rung swim ladder was damaged when I bought the boat so I removed the rungs and siliconed the bottom of the ladder attachments.

It did not appear the attached brackets were leaking but I covered the anyway. Rung slide openings are still visible.



What would ya do on a 405? I liked the ez ups post and I liked the extended 4 rung ladder idea.



Just curious what everyone is doing as an upgrade because I would prefer to not use the original attachments if possible.



Thanks

I want to combine engine and throttle controls on my 2008 41 CMY....Where do I go from here?
