Good Morning, Carver Crew.

I just recently purchased a 405 Aft Cabin (LOVE HER!!). The surveyor mentioned that the anchor on the boat would not hold him in place. The boat came from a lake, and I don't think they every really put stress on the anchor.

I plan to take the boat to the Keys, so obviously I am in need of a serious upgrade. This is one are I do not want to cut corners. I am looking at this 65 pound Mantus:

I changed most of my electronics last year with the exception of my depth sounder. As of last weekend it is almost dead. I say almost because it sometimes say no sounder found or it shows it there but no depth reading or for a very limited tine I get a reading. Will try resetting all the connectors but fear the unit is slowly dying. Before I changed electronics it was very finicky and after seemed to work as advertised however started acting up again. Existing unit is a legacy DSM300 sounder and ...

I've been playing around with my fridge recently. It run pretty good, but not great, so I was thinking of some mods to make to help it work better.



First, I insulated the cabinet. I probably need some drawings to illustrate this better, but the stock enclosure on my boat (83 3607) leaves about one inch of dead space around the left and right sides and about 1.25 inches above the top. This is behind the teak trim, which is cut to just barely fit the fridge. On the right side of the fridge, ...

Had a question...I have a 350 Mariner and need to replace my transient dock lines for bow & stern...so 4 are needed. General consensus for length is 25 feet...but I am stuck on what diameter line to go with. Would I be better off with 1/2" or 5/8"? What are the pros and cons?...going with nylon double braided pre-spliced or 3 strand????

Any comments or suggestions please feel free.

Thanks,

Rick

Looking for a beverage refrigerator to put on our 396. Ultra shallow, like 12" or less deep. Any ideas?

TIA

I have 4 Bilge blowers that are on separate breakers. With D12 engines, what is the recommended procedure for blowers? I have been told run them always, run them when at idle for extended period, run them after shut down to dissipate heat etc. Would like to hear advice/input.

Hi all!! I recently got hold of a 1988 Carver Montego 2757 earlier this spring and have been in the process of restoring her over the past few months. It's been an interesting adventure learning her every nook and cranny and figuring what does what. Got both engines working great, after fixing the propeller drive cable. Then I sanded and revarnished the stairwell to the galley, and all the trim inside, replaced all the shower curtain thingies and got that back up, got a memory foam mattress for ...

So last weekend the first mate and I anchored out for the first time in our new to us 1997 400 CMY (diesel). Everything went fine during the daylight hours, our 4.3 kw Westerbeke fired up like its supposed to and every few hours we ran the AC and charged the batteries. Then it gets dark. Around 11:30 FM ask to run the AC to cool down the cabin for bed time. I go out on deck to check the anchor light and I can smell the exhaust and what appears to be bluish smoke is coming out of the exhaust. ...

Just bought a 1977 Carver Mariner 2896. Since I'm not that smart, I tend to learn things the hard way and I promptly scraped up the lowest part of the hull on a rock. Lesson learned to always use a GPS on this lake. This was on my maiden voyage the day before yesterday.



I went for a swim and I could clearly see and feel the damage. The damaged area is about 2 feet long. It was hard to tell but I would say the depth of the damage is somewhere between 3/32 inch (3mm) and 3/16 inch (5mm) at the deep ...
