I have a 2004 Carver 360 with VolvoPenta TAMD41 engines, I want to replace the bearings in the strut, but I can't find a manufacturer with such dimensions. Does anyone know what kind of bearings Carver install? Shaft diameter is 2" and outside Diameter about 2 7/16"

Thanks!

Greetings, I bought a 2001 396 in Oct. It was left on a lift and has been neglected. However it has low hour Cummins 5.9's and a nice genny. The prior owner ditched the bimini top and the windshield. I want to get it back to original.

Hi all,
Back in April 2023 we purchased our first launch in Kerikeri in the far north of New Zealand and have relocated it to the lovely Marlborough Sounds in the top of our South Island.
Big learning journey on the travel down our East Coast and a lot to learn in both the boats handling and engineering!
This boat was imported into Australia with petrols but re powered in 2011 with Yanmar 4LHA-STP on Hurst V drive’s.
Yet to see if it is correctly propped as was some anomalies with the engine installs after the removal of petrols.
Watch this space.
Regards Mark

View the latest post Attaching bridge surround on 3207
- Posted by: Matt C » December 18th, 2023, 12:26 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hi, In need of some advice. Last week my 1983 3207 arrived here in Fl. after being transported down from Ct. Unfortunately due to the height of the boat and the low clearance of bridges in the northeast , the bridge surround had to be removed and stowed on the foredeck. I am now ready to begin reattaching everything and want to be sure it's done correctly. To that end what sealant would be best for the screws that secure it to the deck? And as there was old sealant/caulk all around the base where the surround meet the deck what would be best to use so as to have a good , watertight seal? And should it be sealed after the surround is attached or put a bead along the deck and then lower the surround into place and seal again along the exposed exterior. I've seen a few different marine sillicone sealants on line but was wondering if anyone had ever done something similiar. Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice. Matt.

View the latest post 15mm PEX tubing near Jacksonville, FL
- Posted by: KyleR » December 15th, 2023, 9:34 pm
- Forum: AC/Heat, Plumbing & Sanitation
Hi all,
Is there anyone in the Jacksonville, FL area that has any 15mm PEX tubing?
Our water heater bit the dust ast week - and I already got a new one along with all the fittings I need. I couldn't find a source for 15mm fittings locally so I did a big order from Defender which came in today.
Unfortunately I only got 2 ft of 15mm tubing as I thought it would be enough. However, now that I'm knee-deep in the project I really want to move some things around which requires a little more tubing than I have. I'm looking for maybe 5-10 ft at the most.
Is anyone local to the Jacksonville, FL area that has any they're willing to sell me? I can order more online but then I won't get it until next week sometime and I'd really like to finish this project up this weekend.
Thanks to anyone who might be able to help! We have access to a car so we can drive to meet you.
Kyle

View the latest post Crusader 6.0 dying once hot
- Posted by: Scott892 » December 15th, 2023, 11:58 am
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
My port engine has been dying once it's hot. Starts fine and runs at power no problem. but when I come back to idle it will die. After it gets hot the fuel pressure drops from 55 to 25 PSI .
So I did the most obvious, replaced the high and low pressure fuel pump, replaced all fuel filters, replaced fuel pressure regulator and relays. Still happening, didn't fix it.
Mechanic was kinda stumped and said his next move would be to insulate the entire port fuel line as he speculated that perhaps it was overheating and boiling the fuel causing vapor lock.
I've already spent $2K on this so I really don't want to keep guessing. Any ideas? It's a Crusader 6.0, 2007 with about 550 hours.

View the latest post 1999 Dual 454 with Mefi 3 ECM - Master/Slave relationship
- Posted by: kgarguilo » December 13th, 2023, 5:20 pm
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Hello all, in my checking of actual engine hours using my Rinda software vs the Helm Hour analog gauges that are not 100% accurate. I noticed that both engines come up as "Master" and NOT as ("Master"/"Slave") on the bottom left of the screen when communicating with the engine. Is this an issue or a non-issue? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Information of Vessel:
1999 Carver 406
Engine Starboard Mercruiser 7.4L MPI MIE V-8 gasoline naturally aspirated engine - 330hp SN- 0L303931
Engine Port Mercruiser 7.4L MPI MIE V-8 gasoline naturally aspirated engine - 330hp SN- 0L303934
MEFI 3 ECM on each Engine
I found this text in a publication named
"MerCruiser EFI Engine History and Major Changes"
"The engine control module (ECM) on all 1996 and newer model year EFI engines has the
“Power Reduction Mode” disabled. Because of this change, it is important that 1995 (and
older) models not be intermixed with 1996 (and newer) models on multiple engine boats. It
is important that all of the engines in a boat have either the power reduction mode enabled
or disabled, but not a combination of both.
The 3-pin Master/Slave connector and the 2-pin Safety Lanyard Stop Circuit connector have
been removed on some 1996 and newer MEFI 1 models and all MEFI 2 and MEFI 3 models.
On these newer models, if the Master/Slave functions are desired, it is necessary to build a
custom data link harness and connect it between the DLC connectors on the engines. The
serial data terminal (Pin G, orange [or orange/black] lead) on the data link connector
(DLC) of both engines must be connected together and the master/slave terminal (Pin
H, yellow lead) on the Slave engine’s DLC must be grounded."
I read this as Master / Master is OK
