When I am connected to shore power everything works great but when I disconnect and try to run the generator only the air conditioning will work. The outlets and refrigerator have no power at all. Seems like the electrical system is split when I'm on the gen. Any ideas of what it could be and how to fix it?

We're shopping for our first boat and leaning toward a Mariner 36. On our list of "nice to have" features is a reverse osmosis watermaker so we don't have to worry about the 70 gallon limit on the tank. We found prices ranging from $4400 to well over $6000. Then I accidentally stumbled across this unit from US Water : https://www.uswatersystems.com/us-water ... gQodnn0D6Q. It says it's RO,https://www.uswatersystems.com/us-water-200-gpd-floor-mount-light-commercial-line-pressure-ro-system-with-20-pre-filters.html?gclid=CPXA9fWUjs0CFZQbgQodnn0D6Q ...

My wife and I today toured a 2007 Carver Mariner 36. Though we have both been on and around boats a lot and I have some experience driving a 35 foot, this would be our first boat of any real size as owners.

We found it to be extremely easy entry and quite roomy on the bridge with plenty of seating. Although the write up didn't mention an icemaker, and it technically doesn't have one, both the refrigerator on the bridge and the one in the galley had freezer sections.

The aft deck has three pane ...

Can anyone help me with a measurement? I am 2 hours away from the boat. I am looking for the width of the transom from gunwale to gunwale of the transom on a 1994 390 Cockpit Motor Yacht. ANY help would be super. Still awaiting an engine install so no fun yet this season!

I finally got the time to install my new VHF radio. It is a Standard Horizon GX1700.

I turned the unit on and got into the Setup Menu and programmed in my MMSI number. No if unfortunately something does happen it will broadcast my position and other information so assistance from the Coast Guard or nearby boaters should be more readily availa ...

All,
This is this first time I've had a boat that has not been trailered and where I can do all the work to it myself.

I'm really put out with the way the marina has treated me and I'm wondering if this is just normal and it is the new way things go or should I be as as angry as I am?

The situation:

The 356 needed a bottom job, so back in February I got put on the books to get the job done late April early May. Well I ended up dropping it off on the 13th. I called and asked if they were ready ...

My name is Doug Stevens and I live very near to Ft. Smith, AR. The AR river is navigable from the Mississippi river thru AR to near Tulsa OK. I'm retired and pushing 70 years old this summer. A long river cruise is on my bucket list but I wanted a vessel that was trailer able instead of confined to a marina. My 1978 Carver Santa Cruz is in very good condition and I should have it in the water by the end of July. I bought it from a local who had a for sale sign on it in a public sales area.

Hello all,



This winter I installed a Seakeeper 9 on my 2003 Carver Voyager 570. The stabilizer is as far back as it can be on the center line in the engine room. This was pretty much the only location available and also seemed like a good location.



Fast forward to this spring. The boat which has always been a little stern heavy, especially when full of fuel, went into the water with about 1/3 tank of fuel. It sat a little stern low but nothing worse than I'd seen previously.



This spring I a ...

Hi guys,

Any idea where I could pick up new covers for the salon entry courtesy lights? They have the dome where the light sits inside and the on/off switch. I need to replace 1.

Thanks!

I just purchased this model and would like to hear from others on the good the bad and the ugly. Anything would be helpful at this stage of the game. From various internet searches it seems like these were made from 2005-2008 with a couple of new hulls floating around marketed as 2012's. Mine is a 2007 with Volvo D6-370's and a Kohler (Yanmar diesel) generator.
