Carver 3007 1981 Aft Cabin
The micro switch under the forward/reverse lever is totally corroded. Can
anybody advise where to get a micro switch replacement?

The good news is that in about 90 days from now (actually sounds better then saying 3 months from now..doesn't it? ) and she'll be back where she belongs!
Midway through the hiberbnation and time to 'top off' the batteries. I purchased 2 new batteries in the beginning of 2018 season which are both ASM technology.
I purchased one new deep cycle house battery the beginning of 2017 season and will likely change out the remaining two older units (pushing 5 years) in about 80 days! They were all bet ...

Our recently purchased 2006 Carver 36MY has a Promariner zinc saver system installed , but its been deactivated by P.O.



Before I chase down all the why's, can I get comments on from those who may have installed/used one and the pro'c/con's. Is there certain conditions where it's detrimental?



I went to the Promariner website. The pitch sounds like a win/win, but what has been the real world experience, especially from those in the PNW area, as we are currently moored in Puget Sound.

I have an 88' 3807 with twin Crusaders. As I am new to having a boat like this, i have been crawling over her almost every weekend, trying to get familiar with all the systems, so I can be familiar with everything I can, come boating season. One thing I have noticed is that the packing from each gland where the shafts go through the hull drips a drop about every 5 seconds. Is this normal? That equates to pumping out about 5-7 gallons of water every week or so. This always leaves water in the ...

Our 2006 Carver has factory Clarion CMD4 stereo head unit. In today's environment, streaming via Blue Tooth is the norm.



So, the wife helped me install a Fusion MS-BT-100 Blue tooth adapter to the AUX inputs on on our Clarion CMD4 head unit, which also has Sirius Satellite connections as well (but we won't pay for a subscription).



The install was easy, after accessing inside the cabinet to get to "backside" of Head unit.

Connect Red & White Aux RCA jacks, then cut and crimp red wire connecti ...

It appears our aft shower sump Rule float switch died after 12yrs, so on the way home from the Marina, we stopped by West Marine and picked up Rule 35A float switch to replace it with.



After getting home, I looked it up on Amazon (same price) and was surprised to see numerous recent postings about this model failing in 3-4 months? this has me thinking of installing it with bullet connectors so I can easily replace in the future.



Since this model has the correct foot print for mounting, and I don' ...

We have a 2006 Carver 36MY. Our aft cabin door and aft cabin head door are both "out of plumb" with the door frame.



I assume the top rollers are adjustable, and the side closest to the latch is to be adjusted for striker height, followed by the opposite side for door way frame match (aka plumb)



So my question is: how in the heck do you get to the top of door adjusting threaded shafts while its hanging inside the roller track? I'd really love a picture of someone adjusting these?



As always, your ...
