As we are getting braver about leaving dock and exploring the wonderful Lake of the Woods, I want to confirm the draft of the boat. Where in the owner's manual would/should that be or how does one confirm that. LotW has lots of shoals and rocks & I would really like to avoid them!!!

Hey there everyone. I have a 76 Sanya cruz amd im looking for the steering system name that is on my boat. Does anyone know where I could possibly find out what i have and where I might be able to find a replacement?

Have actually been at home port for about a month. Have been very busy modifying and improving things to our liking. so far we are thrilled with everything. Forgot how much work a new boat is.

So I asked for a quote from an advertiser here on this site for a winter cover for our 1998 355 AC/MY, looking at 4K which is about 9 +/- years of shrink wrapping here in NY. What's your opinion? Mike

Hi all. Am thinking about adding a portable gen. for my 1989 Carver Santego 3067. Can anybody tell me what size/btu rating the air is on my boat? Want to get a Honda IU generator, can I get away with a 2000 watt or will I need the 3000?

Anybody ever work on one of these? I have a Raymarine 45 STV Sat Dome that has not been used since I acquired the boat. The unit powers up and locks DTV satellites so I assume it works. I have chosen to go with Dish Network due to their Marine/RV HD signal and have manuals for the set-up.

Problem is mine did not have a CD with the manuals and I have spent hours on hold wi ...

Welcoming comments on the Carver factory mounted sundeck ice maker. The unit on my 405 has the water line capped behind the master state room closet that supplies the ice maker and the sink by a previous owner for unknown reasons. I am planning to reconnect the water line and after a thorough flushing see how it works. The unit itself powers up so I don't understand at this point for the cutoff? I am expecting that once water is restored I will find out!

Long story short. After a battery fire (due to a faulty connection at the terminal) I had my generator and all batteries replaced. I am familair with my mechanic and for the most part find him fair but others have not had the same success. He's relatively new at the game. Upon completion of the job, my volt gauges are not working. Mechanic contends that there is power to them but the gauges are faulty. I never had a problem before right up to the day of the fire. Few questions:

1. Does th ...

While pulling some wires on my boat recently, the electrician apparently pulled the port overhead light panel down, the one that runs the full length of the salon directly over the windows and to which the blinds attach. Now the panel won't attach firmly to the ceiling, and hangs down about 2-3 inches, blocking the rear access panel on the salon bulkhead. Has anyone had experience removing or replacing the overhead panel? I can't see any attach points--simply not enough room to see or feel for t ...
