Post FUEL TRANSFER PUMP and HELLO to Forum!


Hi All - Want to introduce myself. New to posting, followed the forum for years. We own a 2005 44 CPMY ES. Twin VOLVO D6 Diesels. Beautiful Boat, but lately had some significant fuel issues. Unfortunately, she sits in PORT much of time as my wife is not a fan of BIG WATER, and we slip on Lake Michigan. Had some contaminated DIESEL recently either because it sat or because I got some bad stuff. Had to clean OUT RACORs for 2nd time in a year (less than 50 hours) and replace all Filters / Fu ...

Post 2001 Carver 570 Voyager for sale


Good day all. I have a beautiful 570 Voyager for sale in Oklahoma. She is a fresh water boat with Cummins QSM11 535 horsepower engines with 1100 hours on it. We have moved to the Caribbean and want to buy a sail boat. I will attach the website that she can be viewed if that is acceptable on this forum.

Post Genset running out of fuel


Hi fellas, I’ve been having problems with my genset running out of fuel after running for a while. when I switch positions on the fuel tank selector switch, the generator will run for a while, and run out of fuel again. I’ve removed all the fuel supply lines and they’re all fine, no restrictions or loose hose clamps. I replaced the generator fuel pump, checked all the fuel filters, etc.. I’m wondering if the problem could be the tank selection switch itself? Has anyone had a problem with the swi ...

Post Thanks for the add


We're in the process of buying a 89 Carver 3807. Our home port is Lower Buckhorn Lake Ontario Canada. We will be boating the Trent Severn system from Georgia Bay to Trenton. After travelling with our "land yacht" for 15 years we've returned to boating. Previous boats were a 1963 36' Chris Craft Constellation which was professionally restored and a Aloha 34' sail boat. :captain:

Post trailer for a 32 foot Mariner


Trailer shopping for a trailer for a Carver 32 foot Mariner, I am upsizing from a 27 footer. Where to find deals on used or new trailers? Also what else do I need to look for? And yes I am well aware of the kind of truck needed for the task. It is hard to find a trailer included with almost any 32 footer. I have spent many years hauling oversize heavy construction equipment so I do have a little experience in that. All comments welcome.

Post water leak


Hi all i have a Carver Voyager 530 and have a water leak. The wooden panel on top of the washer dryer units is swollen. The water seems to be coming above these units... would anyone happen to know what is above these units. Is it the dishwasher in the galley or is the area next to the water heater in engine room the place i should be looking in .. seems like this has been going on for a while as damage is quite old looking but still wet today..
Happy boating

Post 1988 Carver 4207 aft Cabin wiring


My 1988 4207's bow bilge pump, bowhead shower, ac pump and other wiring under the floor in the galley area was switched, rigged, spliced, diced and rerouted with some wires not even connected by an earlier owner and an emergency quick fix by a shade tree electrician. I can't find a wiring schematic for this area and am completely befuddled. Will someone be kind enough to send me a pic or two of their setup if you are happy with your rig?
Thank you in advance.

Post ignition fuse size?


Hey all,

This is embarrassing or maybe I'm getting senile but I can't recall or never knew what size fuse to use on my 1988 4207 Carver instrument and ignition circuitry panel. While checking around I've found all sizes 15amp, 20's, mixed and matched, ceramic and glass. One of my dual helm stations keep blowing them so while tracking that problem I'd like to change them all out, upper and lower.

Thank for any help.
Ron

Post Stairs carpet - GONE!


We finally got around to removing the carpet from the stairs leading from outside to the salon. It had gotten pretty bad in spite of our attempts to clean it - so out it came!



Underneath was just plywood, coated in carpet glue so I decided to start from scratch and rebuild the treads and try to dress up the risers. We'll, here's what we ended up with!



I used a 3/4" stain grade pine and applied five coats of Minwax Polyshades. I had to use 2 different colors and layered them to get the color we w ...
