Post Antifreeze or just drain?


I know the debate is probably older than I am, but it’s pertinent to me, cause now I’m talking about my boat. I’ve got two raw water cooled Crusaders and no strainers in the 3807 we bought in October. My intent was to remove the intake hose from the seacocks and use it to run antifreeze into the block and exhausts. Starboard side is a booger to get unstuck and I’m wondering if it’s worth it. Port side is virtually inaccessible for this. I can barely reach the handle just to cut it off. I have dr ...

Post battery management switch


1989 Carver 3607
in aft cabin closet is the 1,2,ALL battery management switch.
tested engine start in all 3 positions and yup, engine started - this is wrong!
gennie works fine, all power, lights, etc. 12v and 120 work fine
all batteries charge perfectly underway
battery charger is relatively new and works great, all LED's show correct voltage levels

BUT house batteries (brand new) drain much too quickly (4-5 hours)
woken up at 3am to the warning screech too many times.

my guess is that the battery swit ...

Post 1997 405 Motor Yacht Dinghy Storage


Hi All!



Happy Holidays!



We took delivery of our 1997 405 Motoryacht in late August, and have not had a lot of in the water time so far (other than the 5 day trip from Virginia to New Jersey). We travel with 2 dogs and carried a 9 foot RIB, affectionately called the Pee Pee Tender, on our former boat with davits screwed in to the swim platform. On our new boat there are 2 75 gallon fuel tanks in the swim platform, I am nervous about screwing davits in to the swim platform. I am also thinking of a ...

Post 2001 mariner curtains and salon panels / cloth


hi - does anyone know how to remove the side panels that are upholstered with patterned fabric so they can be re upholstered. I recently bought my boat and the patterns are outdates and dirty. I was able to remove some pieces but cant find any screws etc for the panels right above the seats on both sides.

Any pictures would be great as well
thanks

Post Winter Solstice Finally Here


Happy Dec. 21 everybody from the 44.51 parallel. While this may not be accurate from your perspective, I consider this day the hump to get over to look forward to boating season, instead of looking back, putting more distance astern. After today, we will gain sunlight each day. Sometimes by seconds, some by minutes. Sunlight today is 8hrs 49 min. In 6 months, we will gain 6 hours 45 seconds. It's time to spin that wheel, turn boating minds 180 degrees, and head back to port, and start singi ...

Post Drain Plug Reinstall


Took the drain plug out to see what would come out. Nothing did but should I use TFE paste or Teflon to reinstall? Honestly I can’t remember what was on the brass plug when I removed it.
