Post Water leak around dripless bearing


Carver 406 - I have a pretty significant water leak between my port dripless shaft bearing and the blue hose behind it that is supposed to keep sea water from entering. I hit a log yesterday (no vibrations afterward, but it did kill the port engine so I had to restart) and that seems to have caused the problem. The leak is at a rate of about 15 gallons per hour, so the bilge pumps can easily keep up. I am now in port so have closed the through-hull, but the leak continues, so it must be comin ...

Post How to make your Carver go faster!


I have written a couple of posts on my conversion of a 26 Carver Santa Cruz with a V8 fully capable of getting on and maintaining a clean plane over to a baby long range cruiser capable of a cruise speed of 6.1 MPH! One of the projects I did not get to over the last 2 plus years of rebuilding this yacht was the removal of 37 years of bottom paint and adding one thin coat of new paint in its place. Two months ago I decided it was time to do this most disagreeable job I also wanted to replace all ...

Post Washdown Pump Plumbing


My 2003 366 deck wash down pump (fresh water, not seawater) inlet is NOT plumbed to anything. The freshwater tank has a single output to the fresh water pump for sinks etc. That plumbing appears to be factory.

I can't figure out where the deck wash down pump should connect. There are no "T fittings" that I can see off the tank.

Anyone know?

Post New matress project for 370 Aft cabin


Always been less than satisfied with the main cabin mattress. Too narrow / too short (I'm 6'3", 240#), was layered with loose foam sheets from previous owner, also had that 'boat smell'. Plan is to shop for a custom mattress at HMC showroom near Cleveland OH while visiting the new grand-baby. I took the old plywood platform sections home and fabricated new pieces resulting in 6" wider at the shoulders and 4" wider at the foot and 4" longer overall. All that is left is to fabricate and insta ...

Post Replacing dead HVAC units on a 370 Aft Cabin


I had one A/C unit die in the aft cabin and the one in the forward v-berth is failing so started the replacement project. Started in the Aft cabin first - what a flail!!!! You have to drain / disconnect / remove 70 gallon freshwater tank and unbolt and shift the water heater to make room to remove the A/C unit!!! Shudder to think what the repair yard would have charged. Went back with a Webasto FCF9000, seems to be working great now. V-berth is out, next weekend for install

A couple of note ...
