I mentioned in my introduction that the boat had a dishwasher. Attached are a couple of photos. To the right of the dishwasher will be a pull out trashcan. The old door will be attached to the trashcan so when it is pushed in it will look just like the two original doors. Having some issues with the depth of the cabinet at the moment. I've done this on a previous boat but the manufacturer seems to have changed the slides somewhat, mechanically for the better but the dimensions have changed sligh ...

Here is a simple and cheap DIY way of being alerted if the float switch or pump fails on the shower sump. I am sure all of you have found the sump overflowed and filled a substantial amount of water into the bilge at some point. Only way one notices is the shower does not drain as well so one tends to verify however usually way too late and most likely after multiple showers. This will prevent this from going unnoticed. a simple small float switch installed into the cover of the sump, a small pi ...

Morning fellow boaters! I’ve been wondering for awhile now about engine blowers. I’m very regimented on using them prior to starting for sure. Why would Carver wire them to be always on when ignition switch is on. Sometimes I turn them off not just because of the power grab they do but it makes the vessel so much quieter when docking. Any thoughts?

Good Afternoon all, just joined as i am a new boat owner to my 1981 Carver Santa Cruz 2866. Love the boat, in excellent shape but i am trying to see where i can find some small misc. things like exterior front windshield covers, flybridge cover.
Not sure if i am better off having stuff like that made from a local shop. Any help pointed in the right direction to look will be great.

Hi. Has anyone ever found a way to restore the wood to like new condition? The furniture in some places has hair line cracks and would love not to see this. Here’s a photo of what I’m talking about. Thanks in advance!

Hi folks,

New 444 owner here - with an embarrassing question

I've gone through all the documentation I can find, but still can't identify the pictured tank.

The opposite port tank is obviously fresh water, and I see the forward holding tank closer to the keel. The boat is not equipped with a gray water system. Is this somehow also fresh water?

Any insight much appreciated!

I am new to Carver, but not to Raymarine electronics. I have a new Axiom+ 12" MFD I just installed, that is connected to a SeaTalk converter with the NEMA 2K cable and a RayNet switch with a RayNet cable. The switch has three connections: Axiom 9" MFD, Axiom+ 12" MFD and Quantum Doppler radar. The SeaTalk converter has two connections: one from Axiom+ 12" MFD NEMA 2k cable and one from legacy Raymarine ST60+ Depth display. I receive and display the depth info fine on the Axion screen, but no ...

I've done this on sailboats, but they have much smaller shafts. Will I be in for a flood if I try this on the Santego?

Getting ready to dive under the floor and would like to get some packing material ahead of time.
Thanks.
