I dont mean an angry anchor here ......Ok as the title suggests, do you use a stern anchor and if so what size and type.
I had a real nice small danforth that went with the last boat, the one thing I should have kept, really good anchor for about 9 lbs....so...stories.....

I have a 1993 350 Aft Cabin. My fresh water tank is under the bed in the aft cabin and is leaking. Upon inspection the leak appears to be a crack in the plastic tube where it screws into the tank. (tube exits tank straight out bottom end and threads into an elbow that connects to main water lines) I was unable to remove to see what size as did not have the right tools with me at the time. Will be going down again next weekend and hoping to take the parts with me as my marina has no parts and in ...

A search of the forum did not produce a checklist for a trip.



So I have decided to enjoy the boat in the Gulf of Mexico for a couple months or so, but keep my home base slip. I am going to drive the boat from Northern Galveston Texas to Orange Beach Alabama/Perdido Key Florida this Weds through Saturday.



So I am charting it tomorrow, but I would estimate 400-500 miles as it is 503 miles by car. Probably closer to 400 by ICW.



Since we dont have one on the forum, can anyone share their trip checklist ...

I’m contemplating doing the Great loop in 2020/2021 but as of now my boat is way too tall. I believe there is a fixed bridge in Chicago that is 19’.

I’ve read of various owners having their Arch hinged to lower their overall height.

Has anyone done this & if so any feedback would be great

Hi all! Nice web site.

I have a 1979 Carver Voyager 28 that I fell into on a whim. Little is know of the ancient history of this boat, however this boat was owned by a series of fellows named "Bob". It was only fitting that I, a "Bob", would wind-up by this boat. I found it in a boat yard in Crystal River, Fl. She was refit about 8 years ago with an old BMW Marine Diesel of unknown hours, a D150 rated at 134 hp. It runs, but it's no speed demon.

In Crystal River, you can't swing a dead cat ...

Ahoy Mates!



New member here. Just brought my "new" Riviera from Mamaroneck NY to it's new home port of Lloyd Harbor NY today. Love the boat and it's been very well maintained and ran great. One of the front vent windows was (intentionally) sealed shut. I want to restore it to operate so here's my question...



Has anyone ever retrofit a locking rod or something similar to make it easier top open and close? I had a 35 foot CHB Trawler that had this kind of mechanism on the center front window, You w ...

Has happened twice now...go to shut down when docked and port motor continues to run when in the off position - key can be removed yet still runs...only way to shut down is by port fuel valve to OFF.

Thought it was a bad ignition switch- replaced it- tested it- worked normally. Then when back at dock omce again it failed to shut down.

I’ve been reading a ton and maybe an alternator diode? Have an alternator on order..

Could be the wiring harness maybe?

Has anyone had this issue?

Anybody have an idea in what model year fuel injection was introduced in the Crusader engines? Also, I read something that said the CM 350XL was fresh water cooled, but I thought all these were raw water cooled.

Just bought a 1992 Carver Montego 528. It's missing a c and an a on one side. Can you get individual letters...or a set...
