I had a few problems with the windlass last Fall not doing what I requested. I would select DOWN or UP and I would hear a "click" but no movement unless I physically moved the gypsy back and forth a few times. Today that did not seem to help at all. I had to release the clutch and hand crank the rope and chain up. If you have not done this before (spoiler alert) it can take a few minutes and WEAR YOU OUT.

Since the solenoid is clicking does that mean the motor is not starting? Need new brushes ma ...

As Holodeck is being launched Thursday This week (YEAH!!!!!) I found time to get the sanitation hose replaced on this 1994 390 CPMY. I ordered 75' of Trident hose and heavy duty clamps. This project SUCKED! However, I know I will not get the odors I was getting topside. I even used 5200 on every joint and double clamped each joint. The hardest part was finding a friend who was scrawny enough to fit in the bilge. Well, I have one and this man could barely get there. The hardest part was running a ...

RE: CO2 Detectors Sounding Alarm..



After advice from Viper, I am starting a new thread from the 405 driver post to disseminate my progress. Sorry for the hijack 405 driver.



From the previous thread, I posted about having charger and battery "boil" problems after replacing my original CHARLES battery charger and my EXILE dual purpose deep cycle batteries that were also setting off my CO2 detectors.



The NOCO Genius 4 battery charger I installed was under warranty so they allowed me to send it in for ...

Here we go new season, new problem I turned up the seacock on to de-winterize the AC unit. then I went to turn power on and all well. Then I switched the AC water pump and breaker tripped. Did it 2-3 times same. There is quiet a bit of rust, not sure that has anything to do with, maybe loose wiring? It worked flawless last season. So there is power, when I turn AC power on power comes on behind the kitchen table. But trips when I turn the water pump for AC on.. Do I need to replace t ...

I have attached photos of the bushings or washer that hold the side panels of the sundeck to the rails. Can't find them anywhere on the internet probably because I don't know what they are called. Looking for them in pure white preferably made from Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) and not nylon. Any help appreciated as always

We want to replace the aft deck ice maker with a refrigerator. Where can we purchase?

We just joined and are so happy to have found this site! We bought our first Carver (28 Mariner) in the 90's and were forced to sell it due to the economic downturn in 2010. Now that we are recovered and have 5 grandkids we wanted to get back to boating. It will be a great experience for them. We LOVE Carvers and really like the lines of the older style. Fortunately we foun d one that our surveyor said was an "oldie but a goodie" and we purchased last fall...too late to use it. Looking forward ...

Well, New owner of a 1995 Carver 250 mid cabin express. Freshwater boat with 5.7L with bravo II. Was a neglected boat! Little things here and there but a repower with new mercruiser powerplant in 2012. All the paperwork to boot! Have incluced pics! Very excited for the summer!

Wednesday I drove to the marina where my boat is winter stored. I removed all the shrinkwrap and prepped the boat for my 2017 launch. I stopped at the marina office to make an appointment to launch yesterday, Thursday at 11 AM. I then went out for lunch.



I arrived back at the boat. I then decided it would be a good idea to turn the engines over. I turned the key for the starboard engine and it cranked over as it should have. I then turned the key for the port engine and nothing, nada, zip, zilch. ...
