Post Location suggestions for mounting transducer inside hull
- Posted by: Eggbert » May 30th, 2018, 11:39 am
- Forum: Electronics & Navigation
I’m about to install a new Depth-Sounder/Fish-Finder in my 26 Santa Cruz. Currently there is an old Apelco Fish-Finder with a transom mounted transducer and an older Lowrance depth sounder with two units, bridge and lower helm.
I’d like to install my new transducer inside the hull, but am rather unsure where to locate it. I’m hoping someone with the same boat, or one with a similar hull shape has some advice.
My options are:
1/ Under forward floor panel, which is roughly 1/3 of the boat length back ...

Post Fuel Pressure Issue (Wiring? ECU?)
- Posted by: 390Express » May 30th, 2018, 9:57 am
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
I have a 1996 Crusader XL, 454, 350hp motor that has been out of service for a year and half. The boat had ethanol separation, and the ethanol reacted with the rubber gas line, turning it into a jello like substance. I replaced the gas line, and cleaned out as much of the fuel system as possible. There is no "hard" gas left in any of the lines, and it has all new fuel.
When I first put in the batteries, turned on the main breaker, and turned the "ignition" switch on the panel to "on," I though ...

Post Power panel amp question
- Posted by: Blake » May 29th, 2018, 9:03 am
- Forum: Electrical
Good morning, new owner here.
I have a 2002 Carver Mariner 350. Yesterday I noticed that the main meters are showing 110 v when plugged into shore power, and everything seems to be working.
However, the meters show almost 0 (zero) amps drawn, and also the green lights to show "Shore #1 Safe" and "Shore #2 Safe" do not turn on. I have never noticed if the green lights on the panel ever turned on.
When the a/c kicks on, the amp meter needle moves to show initial draw and then returns to slightly abo ...

Post Shower Faucet
- Posted by: CaptBob » May 29th, 2018, 9:02 am
- Forum: AC/Heat, Plumbing & Sanitation
I have a leak. Don't like leaks. This one is in the shower faucet in the head. (yes, a dreaded wet head! now even wetter!)
Boat 04 360SS, the single lever faucet is leaking out of the single lever. I suspect there is a cartridge in there, much like a conventional faucet, but then again... I know it's a boat. Quick search has yielded no replacements, as the lines are on 6 inch centers, and the RV market seems to like 4 inch centers. I haven't figured out how to remove the handle, seems t ...

Post Another 1st boat and 1st Carver
- Posted by: jimw58 » May 28th, 2018, 8:46 pm
- Forum: Introduce Yourself!
I am new to boating but anxious to learn.
I have an old 83 Carver 3207 that I got for what I think was a decent price.
The boat is in a slip on Dale Hollow lake but I live in Florida so I bought a month ago and just this week I was able to take some time and come up to thoroughly go through the boat. I have made a list of things that need to be made better but I have run into some problems electrically. When I walked through the boat prior to purchase I didn’t notice how the previous owner turned ...

Post Water tank issue....

- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
I have a 1989 Carver Montego 2557. Just got her in the water and have an issue with my water freshwater. I filled the water tank but no water is coming out of faucets. The toilet is filling and flush-able. I can hear the water pump making noise. Where is the water going? Must be a leak somewhere? Any suggestions?

Post Plumbing, Alternative 15mm Quick Disconnect Fittings
- Posted by: Midnightsun » May 28th, 2018, 6:58 am
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
These fittings have always been a pita to get a hold of. Usually out of stock, special order not to mention expensive. Came across this at Home Depot, yes it says 1/2" however this is designed for an irrigation system which is not your standard 1/2" exterior dimension. I measured, tried, tested and can confirm it is interchangeable with 15mm boat stuff. Shelves are full and dirt cheap. No way can you get 50' of 15mm water line for $20 CDN? more like 5'. Its rather easy to disassemble as there ar ...

Post Transmission problems.
- Posted by: David M. » May 28th, 2018, 12:17 am
- Forum: Diesel Engines/Transmissions
Help! My wife and I just recently purchased a 2000 Carver 45 voyager with twin 480 Penta Volvos. I had the boat out and was experiencing a delay in the forward engagement of the port Trans, approximately 12-15 seconds. After a short while, while returning to dock. I lost all forward power in that Trans. Reverse still works fine. I would like to trouble shoot this issue before calling a mechanic. Any suggestions. Thank you in advance.

Post Motor Rotation - 390 Express (1996)
- Posted by: 390Express » May 27th, 2018, 1:15 pm
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
I was under the impression that both of my motors were standard rotation, and the counter rotation was done in the gear drive or the transmission, but after talking with a Trojan expert (whos expertise are self-admittedly only valid until the 1991-1992 vintage, when Trojan went out of business), I'm not so certain. I can say that both of my motors have the distributor wired to the same firing order, but that means nothing, as who knows if someone wired the distributor wrong, and I've never actu ...
