Post new stove/oven


Does anyone have any suggestions on websites or other places to replace the stove/oven in my 1988 3607 aft cabin. All three burners were causing electrical shortages and it was old so we removed it, but are now looking to replace it. Thank you in advance. Sorry wrong forum I have cut and paste it into the proper forum

Post Rotten egg smell from hot water - HELP


I installed a new Kuuma 11 gal hot water heater last summer on my 2000 396 Aft cabin. This weekend I returned to the boat and the water from the hot water tank is discolored and smells like rotten eggs. What went wrong and how do I fix it?

Thanks for your suggestions and comments.

Post Shower Sump Not Working


I was digging into another issue on the boat today and discovered the shower sump isn’t working.



What’s the best way to troubleshoot the switch and pump? I’m assuming drain the water out of the box and then activate the float switch with the breaker on and a multimeter on the wires going to the pump to see if the switch is supplying 12v? If yes, then pump is bad, if no, then switch is bad. If the switch is bad, then direct wire the pump to make sure the switch and pump haven’t both gone bad? Do ...

Post Need Help - Leaking Toilet


Hi all,

I went down to the boat today to find a pretty major leak coming from the toilet on our 325. Any standing water had drained down the shower drain, but the bath mat in there was completely saturated and there was quite a lot of water on the floor in the head.

I had noticed recently that the level in the black water tank seemed to be increasing while the boat was at the dock and the toilet wasn’t being used, but I thought maybe it was just due to the boat rocking back and forth or something. ...

Post Would you pass on this Carver?


Looking at possibly purchasing a 1981 Carver 3007 with twin 270 Crusaders. Looks average for the year, definitely needs TLC.



It has some large chipping by the water line on one side. Would the chipping concern you? I've never had to have the bottom painted but I'm sure it's not cheap.



One engine only goes into reverse as well. I've had boats enough in the past, to suspect it's likely the velvet drive, since I know I would have fixed a easy fix before selling.



Picture of the chipping is attached. Th ...

Post 2007 42 Super Sport - Bilge One Location/Access?


Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum, and appreciate all the comments and help. 2nd Owner for this 2007 42 Super Sport; previous owner is not available to ask about this.
Anyone know how to access forward Bilge One? High water alarm is going off, and Bilge 1 is not pumping either on Automatic or Manual override. Torn the boat apart looking for it, with no luck.
Thanks so much!

Post 396 Foward Bildge pump Location


Unbelievable stupidity.

I have searched around my 2001 396 Carver several times try to find the forward bildge pump. With the the help of a friend who owns a 2004 396 I have finally found it. The trouble was the previous owner had a new hardwood floor installed over the galley floor which totally hid the the access hole to the pump. I removed the floor and tested the pump on manual and it worked fine but the float switch needed to be replaced.

Now I will replace the floor and cut in a new access p ...

Post Port starter replaced cranks no start


So I have an 89 3207 and I've been working on it for the last 8 months or so. The last time I took it out the engine stalled out and the starter was turning real slow but it would always start. So I had some problems sourcing the right starter so I just rebuilt the old one. I'm really not a mechanic but I'm trying to learn I copied the wiring on the other starter and checked it a bunch and looked at the manual. I bought a coil from the auto parts store and try that next any thoughts ? Any one an ...
