Post 310 Santego A/C installation


I have a 1994 310 Santego that I would like to have air conditioning installed in. I'm having a hard time finding a unit that will fit under the forward berth panel beneath the mattress. If anyone has this model boat and has a picture of where the A/C is mounted and what brand was used I would appreciate it. The pan that sits under the panel in the berth is only 13" high at the max. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Post Dual Helm Steering for 1978 Santa cruz


My wife and I have rescued a 1978 Carver Santa Cruz. Engine and drivetrain run well. Used it last year for a couple of months. We are now in the process of refreshing it.
PROBLEM: The Dual Helm steering was replaced with one cable to the fly bridge, wondering if anyone has any idea where to find old parts, or a good new replacement at a reasonable price.

Thanking you in advance.

Post WHAT'S COOKING?


So this was the wife's idea but I see how I might benefit here ;-) We're looking for some of your favourite easy on-the-water recipes to take along with us. I'm trying to get our better halves more involved and I thought this might pan out for the foodie in me! Oh, and the liquid recipes are welcome too :beergood:

What say you?

Post Toilet trouble


We have a 1984 32 aft. The other day, one of the toilets filled up with black water after flushing it. It was so full we had to scoop it out to keep it from overflowing. The gage for the toiletbsaid that it wasn't full- we had it pumped about a month ago.



I went ahead and had the marina come and pump it or anyway just to be sure. They said it was only about 1/4 full. Anyone experienced this before? Any ideas what the issue might beV we haven't flushed it since it was pumped. I am a little scared ...

Post Anchoring


I have a question for the group. I own a 2002 carver 42' sportsman. She is the same boat as a later model 420 Mariner with the large rear arch and I had owned one of them for a few years. Both boats have a weird tendency to swing when anchored. I can't tell if it's the tide , wind or a combination. I have tried long scope , short scope , and tied off at the bow cleat , nothing seams to stop it. I have 5/8" nylon anchor line and 30' of chain and generally anchor in inshore areas along Florida's ...

Post Generator Oil


Hi,

I have a Kohler 8E on my 405. I have just replaced the plugs, impeller and the belt. This week is "change oil week' in everything. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations as to what type of oil to use in the generator? The spec calls for 20W 40. This oil doesn't seem to be readily available.....any suggestions?

Thanks

Post Launch Day


Last summer the port transmission on my Carver seized up. I looked around at many places but only a few were willing to tackle the job. Humbug Marina and Mike one of the mechanics there said, "Bring your boat here and we will take care of your problem.



Mike came highly recommended. In November I brought my boat to Humbug. They pulled the boat, powerwashed, changed the engine oil, winterized my engines and A/C system.



In mid February they pulled my boat inside and Mike went to work on the transmiss ...

Post Electrical Voyager 530


Hi.

My Voyager recently caught fire at the shore plug inlet. Fortunately the fire was put out quickly and repairable. There was a wiring harness in the upper area Port side running along past the fuel tank into that corner. It was burned pretty badly and I don't know what it did. A lot of wires were loomed low around the exhaust and it is okay, the fire went up. I think those operate the autopilot, rudder position sensor etc. The upper harness had a small relay in it also that was completel ...
