Post Shore water


I own a 1999 530 voyager. The water system works fine using the water tanks and water pump, but when I turn the water pump off and connect shore water I get no water pressure in the boat at all. Replaced the pressure regulator right were the shore water connects, but still nothing. I can only get water with pump on and water in tanks. I think there must be a check valve somewhere in the plumbing system, but I have not been able to find it. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Thanks in advance for yo ...

Post WiFi bridged extender


We all have experienced poor WiFi signals at the marina. My current marina advertised that they provided WiFi but after signing the dotted line, I learned that was not true and that the system had been down for a long time without repair. Any hopes for corrective action ended with the arrival of Hurricane Matthew last fall when the dock was heavily damaged and now is being studied by engineers for replacement this summer. Until that time, WiFi has evaded the range of my devices and forced much q ...

Post Raymarine electronics


Hey ya'll,
Getting ready to tackle electronics on the 405 and looking for any input from the forum as I am not trying to re-invent the wheel so here goes......

My boat came equipped with 2 E-series Raymarine 120 MFD's, a Raystar 125 GPS receiver, Raydome scanner (radar) and sat-dome. The E-series MFD's work and have a navionics chart card, and talk to the scanner and GPS but that's about it. I installed a transducer and fairing block last year while on the hard but have not wired it to the Fishfin ...

Post Hurth transmission issue


I have a 2006 Hurth ZF 63 A - 2.7 transmission. I have a strong vibration that occurs when accelerating which continues at a lower rate when at speed. When I checked under the transmission, I noticed a few water drips underneath where the prop shaft leaves the boat.



I had to change out the heat exchanger on that transmission last fall. I don't think it has anything to do with the problem, but there was two small pools of transmission fluid on the bilge prior to taking it out the last time. When ...

Post Fuel transfer


Hey everybody, I just purchased a 2001 444 and tried to equalize the fuel by opening the valves at the bottom of the fuel tanks. Nothing happens. There is a fuel transfer pump braker, but I cant find a pump for it anywhere. If anybody has any info on this I would sure appreciate it.
Thanks Lennn.

Post 2001 Carver 350 Mariner - Dinette Table/Cushion


We are in the process of purchasing a 2001 350 Mariner. Along the way one of the owners swapped out the dinette table in the salon and tossed the cushion that allows it to convert to a bed. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement cushion? I can look into having a custom cushion made but wanted to explore options first. Also just in case, how about a replacement table? (dimensions on the current one are a bit different, hopeful but not positive it will work to convert to bed)



Thanks!

Post Hull Wrap


Saw something new last week when I went work on my boat which is still in storage. There is a Meridian 441 located not far from mine with a standard white hull. A crew came in and started to wrap the entire hull in black. Took them a little over 4 hours and the entire job was complete. Looks amazing but pretty sure it cost a few $. they said it will last about 5 years.

Found this video which shows how it is done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th8KastxwHg

Post Carver 396 aft holding tank leak.


Howdy all,

I'm a new owner of 2002 396.

Unfortunately, the survey didn't find a leak that is present in the aft holding tank. Thus is my highest priority but due to work obligations I can't fix it until at least next weekend.

I did a really quick measurement and found it's roughly 30x20x15. Which is close to the 36 gallon replacements I've found online.

Has anyone yanked their tank out? Is it difficult to remove the tank fittings? Should I just repair the existing tank?



Thanks in advance for any ...
