Thank you - good idea. Anyone know of a good value hot water tank with the heat exchanger option?

Thanks

Kuuma heaters are reasonably priced.

Sure will Lizie. I need to explore beneath the port bunk next, but when I went down on Sunday it was too darn hot in the boat so I had a beer and thought about it, then went back home. :beergood: Back at it this weekend when temps will be lower and I'll have a buddy on board to assist. Will report back!

And congrats to hcarmich for fixing his issue. It might turn out the same for me.

I haven't check for the fwd pump but the master one (mid bilge pump) is connected directly to the battery, no switch or breaker is needed.

I was lucky to get all the original documents and technical sheets (wiring plan, etc...) with my new to me Carver Riviera 1989, let me know if I can provide you information;)


Is it possible to get these from you? Would be helpful for sure! thanks


They would need to be scanned... next I get to the boat I will see what I an do to share those diagrams;)

Maybe the 83 didn't have that fwd pump. Wish I knew if the connections are still there or not.

Hello Unc.,
I'm a brand new owner of a Riviera, unfortunately it did not come with any manuals. Would you be able to forward a copy of what you have to me? I've searched relentlessly and haven't found any info. Thanks.
