Post I'm in trouble!


Ahoy all!



I'm a new owner of a 1993 Carver 440Aft Cabin and am wondering what I got in to.



The wiring has been cannibalized over 30 years and I have absolutely no manufacturers manuals, drawings, schematics NADA Nuthin....



Numerous problems have arisen in the short month since purchase and I'm losing faith.



So lets start with the easy stuff



What is the mystery switch under the windlass switch on the upper helm for? The previous owner has no Idea.



And not so easy...

I attached shore power at the mar ...

Post Carver 3807 prop size


Hello to the group, I’ve been looking at an 1988 3807. The boat won’t run over about 3000 rpm on both engines. Gas, 454 Mercruiser with 23x25 props. I don’t have an exact comparison but I have seen other boats of similar size and weight running 22x22. Does anyone know what the 3807 came with originally?

Post Fireboy-Xintex Gas Fume Detector alarm


The M-2A display is mounted in the salon of my 1988 4227. I noticed that the "Unit fault indicator" was amber color. Sensor #1 is off, sensor #2 is green. The 'test' buttons don't do anything. Serial number on back of unit indicate manufacture date in 1995. Called Fireboy for some assistance, no answer, probably because it's the weekend? So posting to see if anyone knows something about this system.

I'm assuming the unit fault indicator means the gas fume sensor is bad. Is this a good assu ...

Post Aft Deck panel spacers


1994 Carver 390. On aft upper deck we have polycarbonate panels around the sides. There are spacers between the panels and the railing held on by Plastic type rivets. We had damage during Hurricane Lee. REAL damage. The wind blew all of 23 KTS, and it popped off TWO, yes TWO of the rivets. Sadly the white spacers, round, about 1.25” flat on one side, half moon to fit around the rail on other side. I have seen the rivets, but have not seen the spacers. Any ideas of where?



All seriousness, hurric ...

Post E80 Chart Plotter


I have a 2007 41 CMY with an E80 Chart Plotter. When I purchased the boat last September the compact flash slot was empty. I was able to get a 2GB compact flash card but it doesn't want to fully seat. Data is available from Navionics if the card would work. Any recommendations?

Post Remove windows on 370 voyager 93


Good morning
I want to repaint the window frames of my 370 Voyager from 93. Once the screws are removed I can't get them out and I can't slide a through blade, something is blocking me. I think the frames are not flat behind. I couldn't find anything on the forum. Does anyone know or have done this before?
Thank for your help.
