Hi guys! I wish to change the bow thruster oil. I was thinking of doing it by vacuuming the reservoir, I believe using a synthetic 80/90 oil should should be okay for this. I've read that they talk about 150 grade but can I use a high quality 80/90?
Thanks in advance!

what is the Angle of the wing uprights on the Upper Helm ?

Hello All,

If it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck. After fixing shaft seal and replacing bad fuel injector, me and my mechanic took boat on test run. Discovered trim tab brackets were broken so I ordered new ones. Diver came out to replace and let me know that the port side rudder is missing (sheared off). No idea how this happened since only time boat was taken out since cleaning last month was the above mentioned test run. During run there was no indication of ...

I have a remote that I want to inspect. I have a feeling that one of the shift cables will need replacement (or is loose). I'm looking for any documentation on it

Here is the remote:The Port-most cable looks to be askew. Does this look problematic? Sorry for the crappy shot. Will do a deeper investigation when I get out to the boat.

1985 Carver mariner 3697, with a 72 series velvet drive 1 to 1 ratio to Walter RV40 v drives. Acquired the boat three months ago and checked fluid which was full cold to the scribed mark on dipstick shown in pic. Checked it regularly and always at the mark cold. No other marks on the dipstick. Finally did the hot check within 30 seconds of shutting down the motors. Expected the level to be higher from the cold mark, but as you can see in the picture it is towards the bottom of the dipstick. ...

Located at the front of the starboard settee.

I was on a sea trial for a friend yesterday. 1998 Silverton 292. I took the helm and was amazed at how smooth ans easy teh steering was. i asked if it was power steering, and owner said, no just Seastar helm . I asked how it was so easy and smooth and he said he just bled it.



My 1994 290 has Seastar however, steering is pretty hard to turn, and some play in wheel. Would this be a bleeding issue? has anyone used the Seastar bleeding kit? Just looking for input.



Thank you as always.

Well fixed the gas problem, and here we are back to the boat and charger problem



It looks like the original item. Never had any issues. Today when we got there had couple lights on, and blower in engine bay running. about an hour or two later I went back in and noticed all lights were out. checked and there was power to the boat from dock, so all outlets were on. And banks selector normally I keep on "BOTH" but was left on house battery (2) luckily. So battery was dead, as it wa ...
