I have noticed that each time I scrub the aft deck on my 346 that I have water in the aft cabin head. Nt sure how it gets there because there are no overhead signs of water coming in. Not sure if it's a loose deck drain hose or the joints need to be re-caulked around the edges of the deck. Anyone had this issue before that could help me troubleshoot?

I filled my tanks last Wednesday then ran the boat home from Detroit Beach Boat Club a run of 18 miles. Then on Sunday I took my boat out for the last time this season. I made a run around Grosse Ile then filled up at Elba Mar Boat Club. Using the trip odometer of my GPS I ran a total of 36.5 miles (statute) between fill ups. I put in 36.9 gallons of fuel on Sunday.



On this particular tank of fuel I averaged 0.989 MPG on this last run. I ran at RPM's of 3200 to as low as 1600 during that 36.5 mi ...

Yep, shrank her today. Looking forward to an early launch in 2018.

HI,

Currently under contract on a mid 2000's Marquis.

The boat has a wireless control which will control transmissions and thrusters.

Thank you for any assistance,

So with it being this time of year for many of us who boat where substantial freezing occurs, we have some threads about antifreeze and such and one thread has given me some thought to check my policy. For recent years I have always used the Marina techs to winterize the main engines as they are raw water cooled , and as Rick stated it is really an insurance against a very expensive loss.



Well after saying all that I was surprised to read in our policy that to cover freeze damage , basically I ...

Hello to All!



I have a 1981 AFT Cabin Model 3007 with twin crusader model 270 engines and its time to winterize them. I was reading online and most links state (non crusader 270's) that there are 2 fresh water drain plugs on the engine, one on each side of the block. I went to my local service store and they pulled the engine up on the computer and they stated that there is only one drain plug in the block. Does anyone know for sure and any tips and suggestions for winterizing these engines would ...

Cummins 330 diesels ... will crank and run as long as they key is held in the start position, but engines stop as soon as key is released. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

I have a Carver 33 SS 2006 with four batteries. Two engine starters, one house battery, and one generator battery. Connected to shore power, all batteries charge. Running the gennie also successfully charges all the batteries. While underway, the engines are not successfully charging the house battery though the voltmeters for both engines are showing charging at 13 or 14 volts.



I say that because after being underway for 6 or 7 hours the CO monitors beep indicating a low battery charge, and the ...

I want to replace the foam on the hatches in the engine compartment. They hold water. What else could I use for insulation in the engine compartment?
