I have a 1997 455 Aft with Maxwell VWC 2200 windlass with original manual...

The chainwheel is worn, causing the chain to slip. I purchased a new one from Defender and upon removal I have found the Outer Clutch Cone (D3185) broken along with the Key (E3207).

Defender cannot cross reference the part numbers and I am not finding them via internet searches.

Does anyone have experience sourcing parts for older Maxwell 2200s ?

I have a 1991 3608 aft cabin and noticed my upper helm was leaking fluid at the steering wheel stem location externally and also beneath the helm when I pulled off the back board of the front bench. Does anyone know what model of helm this boat would have or how I can find out? My marina mechanical services says I will likely need to replace the upper helm as a replacement seal kit will not be available. Thank you.

Hi every one I am new. I am buying a boat in the lake of the ozarks. (LOTO) I am looking for a
1990 Carver 34 Santego owners manual

anyone have a workaround for the control box/delay that is used on the ql bow thrusters? i bought an aftermarket one from dopplebox and ut seems that after only one year it is not working and they are apparently out of business. ive read that the 24v vetus delay can work.. any suggestions

Has anyone ever been privy to the A/B Ratio of the Carver 466? Any past Carver engineers on the forum?

TIA,

The water heater replacement was truly not that bad. i DO recommend disassembling the dinette seat! By doing this you can lean in on the rear of the water heater and heat exchanger hoses. I had very little spillage as I took a couple 6” pieces of hose and plugged them with a 5/8” bolt and clamped. Then when I pulled the heat exchanger hose from the water heater, I was able to slide these on. Then a 5/8” bolt on the heat exchanger hose. Also, PIG MATS are a must! These absorbed any coolant leakag ...

We own a 1986 36' Mariner that we purchased in 2001. We've upgraded just about everything in the interior from the hot water tank to the upholstery. Currently about to take on repairing another section of the totally saturated deck. This time the bow area. I can't get anyone around the lake to take on the job so I guess it's mine again. I've already done 3 sections since purchasing the boat but this will be the biggest. Perfect boat except for the balsa cored decks and swim platform.

I would love to have an owners manual… would anyone be willing to share a PDF version or know where I could buy one.
I do have specific manuals for separate components but would like to see general item locations and possibly a weekly, monthly, yearly recommended maintenance schedule. And what small components are what!!!
Thanks

Happy Labor Day weekend! Hope everyone had a fun and safe summer. On our 1998 445 the admiral wants to take up the carpeting in the salon and hallway in the galley. Two questions. First, we are considering replacing the salon carpet with Marine Mat, any thoughts on that or other recommendations? Secondly we are considering installing hatches in the salon floor to better access the motors. Currently our access is the lift upstairs. We would put them on gas struts to make it a little easier. Has a ...
