Post Understanding The Word Cockpit In A Boat


Cockpit is something one usually refers in an airplane or race car cockpit where the pilot controls the aircraft/car however when it comes to boats there seems to be quiet different. If one googles boat cockpit it shows helm stations which seems to be wrong?

Carver and most other manufactures sell cockpit motor yachts which refer to a rear extension of the boat or at least this is something I have just assumed over the years. I did a little research and found cockpit was in fact a sunken area in ...

Post 96 Carver 455 aft and 10c23 generator


Super frustrated with generator, it will crank for 4 to 5 seconds and shut down. I changed fuel pump twice and same issue. I have changed plugs, wires seem fine. I took carb off to clean and still same problem. Is it the fuel filter and I will include Pic of what I think may be fuel filter or is this something else? Appreciate any advice sincerely

Post Reactions to your boat/yacht purchase


So I bought a boat. It's considered a Yacht by most standards. It's a 41 CMY. The word Yacht is in the name.

I guess by proxy, it's a yacht.

But that's not why I'm posting.

I'm curious to what you have experienced when you were buying your boat/yacht. It can be and has been a slow and sometimes stressful experience. Financing, down payments, insurance, coast guard registration, finding and paying for a slip, Survey, sea trial, learning where everything is, how to work everything, learning how t ...

Post Did Carver make a Sojourn 44 with Crusader 8.1?


I am trying to confirm if Carver made the Carver Sojourn 44 with the Crusader 8.1 engines rather than pods. I have seen in various literature and reviews that the pod drives were an optional upgrade, and Crusader 8.1 gas engines were standard, but I have never seen a used Sojourn available on the market with gas engines.



We live on a small lake in Colorado, and would like to upgrade from our Carver Mariner to a 2010-2013 Sojourn, but we can't have pods drives because there is no option for serv ...

Post Bilge odors


How do you deal with bilge odors? I have used bilge cleaners (twice) and pumped out the standing bilge water but odors continue a few days after the pump outs.

Suggestions?

Post Overhead lights in my 33Aft Cabin


All,
I have 6 overhead lights that take the 1004 incandescent battery (like the old turn signal batteries in cars).
I have successfully replaced 3 of them with these LEDs:
"VEHICODE 1076 1142 LED Bulb Soft Warm White for RV Interior 1004 90 12V BA15D Marine Navigation Anchor Stern Bow Courtesy Light 68 78 96 1176 Lamp" from Amazon

However, 3 of them will not work. They work with the old incandescent but not the new bulbs.

Oh, and one of the bulbs that does work had the wires that were soldered to LE ...

Post Owners Manuals


Hi everyone,

I'm a new boat owner and totally green. I just bought an '85 Carver 36 (maybe a Mariner, but I haven't seen that label anywhere). Are the owners manuals available anywhere online? I want to know what switches do what, what the random knob under my interior steps does, what to do with the throttle and transmission levers if I can get it running (yes, I don't know which are which), how not to overheat pumps, and everything else... I bought it as a liveaboard and it's incredibly fun ...
