Here is my problem. I have a 2000 Voyager 450. My outgoing power cord is a 125/250 50 amp for the last three years I have been plugged into a shore power of the same with no problems. This is only one cord, I do not have multiple inlets.



I am trying to move to a new slip in the same marina. The current shore power is 125 50 amp plug. They will not upgrade the plug saying the dock does not have enough capacity to handle the power the boat is wired for.



We want the slip and I was advis ...

I've located a 1985 Carver 2807 Aft Cabin with a single Crusader 350 engine just thirty minutes away. It lived on the Ohio River and has been sitting on a trailer for at least two years. Looks good overall but it will need new canvas, bottom paint and a good cleaning.

Here's my question, is $10,000 too much for the boat and an "undersized" aluminum tandem axle trailer?

Hi All!



I have a 1995 Carver 390 CPMY that my wife and I enjoy very much, but the way they (Carver?) wired in the House bank is making me crazy! As far as I can see, the house bank goes to the inverter, and powers the 110v outlets and the microwave. The 12v lights, instruments, and refrigerator (when not on shore power) are powered by the starting batteries (!).



We can all agree this is a weird system. I don't think the house battery/inverter installation is a DIY affair, 'coz it looks too neat. T ...

Hi All!

I have a 1995 Carver 390 CPMY and one of my under-cabinet galley light fixtures failed. It would be easiest to replace with a like fixture, but I'm having trouble finding it, since the fixture has no identifying markings other than "Model L-001, made in Taiwan".

Anyone know where I can get a fixture like this, or a similarly sized fluorescent or LED fixture that I can just put in its place? Thanks!

This is my second Carver (43 SS) but my first diesel. As a new member I will have some dumb questions as I learn to maintain them (600 Volvo Pentas). Hope you can help. Ron, Kara Mia 2, Nashville, Tn.

I’m just curious. I’m not there yet. But under $6k list for a couple reman long blocks I could maybe do it sooner than later. I have 1800 hours on mine.

They have a 330 HP crusader option that would be a direct replacement. But they "Encourage" you to go with the 420hp engine option. Of course my puny TBI wouldn’t net anywhere near that.

What are thoughts and experiences with something like this?

Thanks

I am getting ready to install Weaver Snap davits on my 03 366 swim platform. There are no panels underneath and no obvious access from the aft cabin.

I ordered toggle bolts for the install. Before I drill, has anyone gone this route? Is there foam inside the platform that may get in the way?
