I launched April 22nd. Every day off I had since then it seems that the wind was blowing in the 20 MPH range. For me a bit to windy to head out as I am still learning the handling characteristics of my 3007.

Yesterday (Monday) was the Detroit/Windsor Freedom Festival Fireworks on the Detroit River. I really wanted to go but the winds were in the 15 to 25 MPH range so I was sitting dockside hoping they would subside. Finally at 8 PM the winds did subside and I headed out.

Of course many boat trips ...

Checking out a Vacu Flush in my new old boat. Actually read the manual! And, after two years without use. the pedal put water into the bowl when I lifted it and then flushed when I pushed on the pedal! WooHoo!

Some moments later I noticed a clicking sound from the bilge in the vicinity of the holding tank and the pump. Is this normal?

BTW, how do I insert a smiley in a post AND,
How do I reply to a reply without having to quote the message?

At boat this week end. Turned on water, hot water, etc. A couple hours later found water in bilge and condensation dripping from aft bilge area. Found hot water steaming from pressure valve. Couldn't stop valve from being partial open. I assumed valve was bad. Replaced it. Turned on water heater and everything seemed good. Would like to test hot water temp. Should I be concerned about the thermostat? Do valves go bad and open for no reason? Maybe the valve seal is bad? I couldn't tell. Has anyo ...

I am looking for a 4 1/2" screw-in Deck Plate in white for my 1989 Carver Montego engine compartment hatch. I have been to the local marinas but no one has one that size. I have emailed Beckson but gotten no response.
Thanks,
Jack

Just a quick question. Where is the FM antenna from the radio mounted in the salon? What kind of antenna is it?

Greetings:



Sold my 1996 325 Aft Cabin but only lasted one season without a boat! Currently in Western WI at Alma Marina on the Upper Mississippi. Most of my experience is with the Columbia River out of Portland, Oregon.



Made an accepted offer on a 1986 32' Mariner, recognizing there's a lot of work cleaning and updating systems ahead. Dealing with the surveys (mechanical and hull) today. About 1200 hours on 350's Mercruisers. Reverse air and a generator, both of which seem to work but this is a ...

I cant seem to get any of my tvs to work using the coax cable hooked to the rear of the boat. Cant seem to find the junction and splitter where all the coax connects. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated

Crowbar new to Carver. We bought a 1987 28' Voyager. Twin 305's. I'm getting to know the systems, but it's a learning curve. I'll be asking for advice. Thanks

Hello all. I am a new owner of a 1989 Allegra. I had a 1989 Montego 2557 that perished in a barn fire 4 days before I was planning to remove it. I'm currently getting the Allegra up to date on maintenance and restoring some systems that stopped working. It's in the water and we've been enjoying it. I still have my complete canvas from my Montego including the metal supports and a mooring cover that I am looking to sell. That was my primary reason for coming to the board today. I had remove ...

Hello from the confluence of the Mississippi and St Croix rivers. Life long boater, 5 year Mariner owner. Nice to see Rick Grew here as I know him from BOC.
