And while on the topic - what about soap to clean the boat as well?

Finally finished up our carpet removal and LVP install and wanted to share a few pics.

I decided to remake all the engineroom hatches from scratch since the old ones were all too small once the carpet was removed. Three of my hatches were really big (the ones over each main engine and the one over the generator). As such, I decided to make them into multiple smaller hatches that were much easier to remove/store which has turned out to be really useful! I split each main engine hatch into three ...

Re: 1996 Carver 325

It appears that when Carver finished the interior of our boats many places were covered with a textured vinyl product that is foam backed, and it was glued to the fiberglass surface being covered. I have a couple spots where it appears the foam backing has deteriorated...more like disintegrated, causing the vinyl to come lose and hang down or fall off the wall. Has anyone else had to deal with this? If so, any thoughts on how to best correct the problem?

Fellow Mariners - As the title indicates - 1984 Caver 3607 Aft Cabin.
There is a pocket door for the forward V Berth area. The door continually falls of the rail and the only way to easily re-seat it is from the salon side. Embarrassing for both our guests and the Admiral and I.

I have tried adjusting the nuts on the hanging hardware to no avail

Anyone else have this issue and solved it?

I rarely use my Air conditioner on my yacht but am looking at getting it working again.
As the boat is almost 20 years old now would it make more sense jut to replace it, or is there a an upgrade aviable.
There are 3 units now but I would only do the main stateroom and salon.
Currently the unit runs but the breaker trips as soon as the compressor start ups.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

I have owned my 2005 530 Voyager Yolo II for almost 10 years now.
We are active cruisers on the Pacific coast of Canada and also members of False Creek and Royal Vancouver yacht clubs.
Many systems have been upgraded. The Navigation to Garmin withi integrated 3 zone stereo. House battery to 1500va Lithium iron and larger alternators and inverter. Changes to the charging setup and recently I also added a solar sytem.
I do much of the work myself, consider it therapy.

Hi I am thankful to stumble upon this site as I am a new owner of a 1978 voyager cutter 33.5 ft boat. I am looking for understanding of the following questions.

1. Manual says it has 2 200 gallon stansless steal tanks? Is that 100 x 2 for 200 total capacity or two two hundred tankes for a total of 400 g? How far can I travel an an easy go speed?

2. How many people fit on the boat when checked by coastguard?

3. Are there two piglet houses? How does this work?

Thanks in advance.

Hello! I've got an 85 3227...no genset...2000w inverter...currently six (06) 100ah lead acid deep cycle house bank and two (02) 12v lead acid starting batteries all located between the engines (to the forward bulkhead). Couple of questions: 1. Does anyone have experience with using a Xantrex 468 inverter/charger with lifepo4's? I saw another thread where Xantrex said that using their AGM setting would work fine for Lifepo4's...but I'd like to hear from someone with direct knowledge.

In the interest of saving some fellow boater a trip "down a rabbit hole", I offer. My 1995 Santego 5.7 TBI had overheating problems, especially at idle in long no wake zones. After impellers (several), one new / rebuilt, raw water pump, professional heat exchanger cleaning, new thermostats - I finally got serious about pulling some hoses and troubleshooting. It appeared that the engine coolant circulating pump was weak (no noise, no leaks). So I hustled on down to Carquest and picked up a re ...
