After my cockpit drain fix, I'm still getting a little water in the bilge from the cockpit deck when it's being washed. Looks like the only way to fix is removing the screws and lifting the deck. The game plan is for 2 of us to be underneath the deck. One lifting a section with our shoulder and the other placing a 2x4 between the deck and the cap until the hole deck is fully raised. Will get to inspect the gasket and hopefully a good clean and some good silicone sealer(don't want to use anything ...

Hi All,

I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out. I just purchased a 2002 Carver 350 Mariner. Is there a Y valve I need to turn to pump on at dock or discharge at sea? If someone would be nice enough to take pics and post or send them to me, I'd be forever indebted to you. When I turn on the waste circuit, I see no discharge coming out from either side of my boat. Please help!!!

i am a new member of this forum. About 5 months ago I sold my 1996 31' Santego and purchased a 2003 36' Motor Yacht.

Hi boys,
I'm having a problem with my Onan Genny. I believe I've isolated it down to a fuel issue. Does any body know what this silver can on the right is? It is past the filter on the fuel line leading to the genny.

I have a 1999 Carver 406 Motor yacht. Both my Port and Starport fill hoses are defective. From the fill point to the top of the tank. I have ordered the new hose and wondered before getting into this. how do I get to the fill point clamps to loosen to remove the hose.
Thanks, John

It was quite the journey but finally I can say I am back on the waterways again. Its been 4 years and 5 days since I last owned a boat. When the last boat departed I thought I was done with boating. But, alas, that was not in the cards. Last August the boat bug bit me again and I started searching for a new to me boat. I took my time and at least here in Michigan it is still a buyers market. I initially wanted to spend no more than 10K. From August to May that was my plan.

In February I found a n ...

We are purchasing a 1995 Carver 440 that will get some TLC. The boat is sound but needs upgrades as she has not been used for a couple of years. Looking forward to getting some guidance from the members here.

We are new owners of a 1987 Carver 42 Aft. Our port is near the first lock of the Champlain Canal, gateway to the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain. Our long term plan is to move our Carver to the Gulf Coast. We are glad to have found this forum as we get to know our yacht and firm our travel plans. Bill

We just became the proud owners of a 1987 Carver 42 Aft. The deck top/sides is all canvas and we are looking to replace with a hard top enclosure. We have seen really nice ones. Any recommendations/installers? We are in the NY area.
