HI all-Have had my 1988 Santego 27 for almost 20 years, and serviced it for the original owner since almost new. Has been out of the water and on blocks since the crash. Finally ready to use it again, in the process of pulling both engines and resealing everything and replacing all the rubber parts. Have spare engines and out drives so is mainly labor. Also replacing all the plastic throug hulls, servicing the a/c, etc. Plan on using her in fresh water from now on, Mississippi and Tennessee ri ...

This is my first winter with my 1996 Carver Aft Cabin 355. I think I will be okay with a small electric heater in the cabin to keep things from freezing. (We are on Pickwick Lake between TN, AL and MS) EXCEPT, the swim platform shower seems susceptible to freezing. Can anyone tell me where the shutoff valve is located for the swim platform shower?

I was sluicing around in my bilge and saw the original FIREBOY BB350 fire extinguisher system. YEP! Looks original and untouched, gauge reading charged. That makes this 20 years old. Are there any regs as to having these checked or something?

Looking for some pros and cons for dinghy davits to mount on my swim platform..am considering the Hurley H20 style. Would like to carry 11' RIB and be able to leave motor and fuel on dinghy. Approx weight 450lbs. 1999 carver 406.

Does anyone have a picture of the switch layout and labels for a 1987 santego with twin 180's ? Mine are faded so bad they cannot be read. I just recently purchased the boat as a project. Thanks in advance!

a994 Carver 390 CPMY. Battery dedicated to the generator, and 2 others on the MBSS. Just 12v deep cycle batteries. I had a REAL house bank on my last boat, which consisted of 4 6V golf cart batteries on 1 position of the switch, and a starting battery on the other position. With the limited space I have, I was wondering if a house bank of 2 6V GC batteries, hooked up to be a 12, would fit where the batteries are now? Or would it be a better idea of using a couple of 4 D's, and keeping the dedica ...

I HAVE A FREEDOM 20 INVERTER ON OUR VESSEL, RECENTLY WHEN I DISCONNECT SHORE POWER THE CONTROL PANEL SHOWS 0 BATTERY POWER WITH IN 5 MIN. AND SHUTS DOWN THE INVERTER. BATTERIES SEEM TO HAVE A FULL CHARGE BUT THE HOUSE BATTERY WILL NOT SHOW A CHARGE ON THE PANEL. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

My starboard drive train is making noise somewhere, It's hard to tell where it's coming from. The noise seems to be in the transmission. It only does it while in gear, neutral is quiet. I think I will start with the engine and move back through the plate and then the drive itself. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone put in some boat automation on their boat? I was looking at boat command (https://boatcommand.com/), but it's got a monthly fee and they don't incorporate cameras. There are some other company's that do a similar things also but not all encompassing. My marina has wifi, so I was thinking about adding a standard home automation system like vera (http://getvera.com/) or Apple's home kit (http://www.apple.com/ios/home/). It would be nice to keep tabs on it while I'm not there. Thoughts?

I'm looking to find out what kind of Air conditioning manufacture was used in the Carver Mariner 350 (generation 2 1997-2002). The reason for my question is can I add a wifi thermostat to the system to remote control AC when I'm not on the boat.

Has anyone added a wifi thermostat to their boat? My marina has wifi and thought it would be cool.
