The coastguard boater safety course says, "your responsible for damage from your wake". How is this enforced? What is considered damages?



Please clarify...

My boat is tied up in a slip at a marina at the end the bay. There is no through traffic - we are at the end. I have my boat tied well (stern in) but, we do get some weather that blows through and kicks everything up. The boat securely tied to floating docks and doesn't touch them even when it's rough. When I get waked the whole boat moves alo ...

I have a question , here is a little background, we currently have an electric head in the boat, I have rebuilt the pump/macerator, it seems to work fine but we have had enough with the racket it makes. During the day it is tolerable but at night just too much. I have read about adding a fresh water pump as an add on, but considering the age of all this stuff I am thinking to replace with something newer in design. No vacuflush.

Opinions please....thanks.

It's been record hot up here and my AC unit (16,000 BTU) just is not keeping up. 90+ outside (water is 80) and the boat is not cooling down. It cools to high 70's. It works, but just not cooling down the cabin. I would like the get this working the best it can.



I'm not sure if the water that the boat is sitting in is to warm for AC to cool efficiently. I took it for a ride into the lake and the boat seamed to cool a little better when I took it into the lake where the water was cooler. I keep the ...

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for your help.. I am a proud new owner of a 1984 36 Mariner.
.My problem is I don't seem to be getting water to my vacuflush toilet and air conditioning heating unit. I would like to know if there is a separate Seacock for this and where it is located.

UPDATE: problem found! Leak was behind the swim platform shower in the water shore hookup. A fitting cracked. Ughhh. At least it was an easy fix but wow it took forever to find! I even looked at the swim platform shower, WHY didn’t I look at the shore water connection! 4 screws!! Hey Carver friends! You guys helped me create my own air filters for the holding tanks, I am sure you can figure this out! After a winter away from the boat we were able to make it the first of June to stay a m ...

Hey all- we are trying to figure out which Maxwell Freedom Windlass we have on our 1997 350 Carver Mariner. Is it the RC500 or RC800? We need chain and are trying to determine the size. Any insight?

My boat has a large hatch that opens with two hydraulic rams, and a smaller hatch in the large hatch for quick access, and in case I need access with dead batteries. I had water in the motors when I bought it, and knew about it and drained it all out. Water got in the port motor a 2nd time after I bought it, and I think it came through the engine compartment. I was worried that it was a head gasket or worse, but I did notice after cleaning that I had sudsy water all over my motors, and I didn ...

Hello, I recently purchased a 1984 Riviera 2807 and wonder if anyone has a link to a parts manual, I have the original owners manual but it isn't very detailed .

Thanks Dave

Greetings all: I'm in the final stages of moving up from our 1997 355 to a 2004 360 Sport Sedan. I'm new to diesel engines. The boat we are looking at has Volvo KAMD 300s with 22x22 4 blade props. Wondering if anyone know what I should expect regarding WOT when we sea trial her. Thanks!

1997 355 u line ice maker in aft deck. Any tips on how to remove this ice maker from the large enclosure on the aft deck?



Mine also had the small sink. Ice maker all off a sudden will not turn on. No fan or compressor. nothing.



Going to make sure it is getting power first. Is there an outlet inside the wet bar enclosure the ice maker is in? I have checked all breakers and GFI outlets. Any ideas how the power is wired to this area?



The outlet right next to the wet bar area does work, although y ...
