Post "Black" tank does not hold much and pressurizes


Not a fun topic I know, but all help greatly appreciated. 1989 Carver 38 Santego. The sewage holding tank does not hold very much waste, it seems like only 4 gallons or so. I can tell when it's getting full because the crown head starts flushing and then kind of filling back up a little like there's pressure in the tank. When I go to pump out it's always a horrible experience. You have to release the waste cap slowly and let the "stuff" which is under tremendous pressure leak out. If you take th ...

Post New owner


I just purchased a 2000 450 Voyager. For a while I will have many questions.
My first question is; where is the shower sump located?
Next; how do you get the damned tv out? I will try and post a picture of the boat later.

Post 3807 AC Pump Relay Location


Hi everyone! Do any of you know where the AC pump relay is located on an '89 Carver 3807? I have 2 Mermaid AC units each with their own thermostats operating on one AC pump. The berth unit will not start and there is an error code on the digital thermostat that blinks "HPF". The saloon unit does turn on (not digital) but the AC pump will not run. I've verified this with a voltmeter and by placing my hand on the pump. No power, no noise. I replaced the pump and it still does not come on. It's ha ...

Post Holding tank


:banghead: my husband and I purchased a 1999 Carver 356. I feel like I'm pretty boat smart but this has me stumped. He is out of the country this summer and I decided to do some good spring cleaning. While cleaning the aft air conditioning ventsp I noticed the holding tank is full. Maybe 2 to 3 inches from the top. This explains A LOT since this is not our first Carver and our old Carver only had 1 tank that we didn't pump out more than about once a month. This boat is always full of Poo! ...
