Okay, I know I've posted about this in other threads but I thought I'd start a "clean" thread to capture our salon window replacement. I'll add to this as it progresses.

First, I originally planned to do this repair myself as the original quotes I received up in the North Florida area ranged from $3000 to a little over $6000. That was just for the replacement. It did not include the cost of the window. I couldn't justify that so I figured I'd just do it myself.

However, while we were in the Keys/Miami area this winter I did some checking and found two reputable places down here, one at $1650 and the other at $1500. Both had great reviews and had been in the business for a good length of time. The $1500 business had a seawall they used for repairs which saved us additional marina/boatyard fees, which the $1650 quote didn't include. As such, we went with the $1500 company.

Anyway, here are some pics of what lies behind the glass and how the construction looks. I'll post more as they progress and hopefully they'll be done today. If you have any questions please let me know and I'll try to answer them.

For parts or for rebuild.

Please make me an offer.

Pick up in North Seattle.

This came out of the port side of a 1996 Carver Mariner with twin crusaders.

I had this drive disassembled for a rebuild, was in a hurry and ordered a new drive for $5000 instead. I was told that this drive is in great condition and didn't need a rebuild, but we had it apart and that's where it ended.

If you know anything about Walter drives, you know that they are built very robust. The gears and bearings are massive and in decent shape. You could order a few replacement parts and have this rebuilt to be good as new.

Hey guys, I was De-winterizing my boat last weekend. On my last seacock/Ball valve, Generator seacock (Buck Algonquin). Handle broke off. ARGH!!!
After looking at the thru-hull, It does not look good. Will need to change it out. Before getting hauled out, anyone know what size thru-hull it is? Hoping to buy the parts I need so I'm no not the hard for long, In and out.

Thanks guys for taking your time in reading and helping me out AGAIN...

Hi all,
We have owned our 2001 450 Voyager for 2 years. We're from Central Florida. We're currently cruising America's great loop, during summers only. This Summer will be our second season. Our boat name is Fluidity and she has just completed her first winter on the hard on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake in Oxford, MD. at Hinckley Bachelor Point marina. We're excited to continue our adventure this summer up the Hudson river and beyond. We look forward to meeting fellow Carver owners along our journey. Happy Cruising!!

I'm trying to determine what type of breaker originally was used on this panel for the windlass. At some point it was changed over to a 135 amp Bussman surface mount breaker. I'm replacing the inverter and other components and have very limited space to mount everything so I'd like to find a breaker that fits back in the original space.

Can anyone explain how the gas guages are supposed to work with the switch on the dash for the auxiliary tank. Just bought the boat and I don't think they are working properly.Right now without touching the switch it reads 1/8th for the port tank which has 40 gallons in it and 1/2 for the starboard when I hit the switch. The gage above the switch reads empty all the time I think because the auxiliary tank is empty. Also, does the auxiliary tank feed the Portland starboard engines and do you have to turn on the valve for the auxiliary on the manifold with the valves for the tanks

I'm installing a 16,000 BTU until in a 1995 355 AFT. It will be installed under dinette. My book shows only a schematic of the ducting and I'm not sure I can simply follow what Carver would have done at the factory due to so many previous modifications. However, I'm interested in the supply duct location and the output locations. My issues start from a MSR (reddot) heater under the front steps and an existing electic heater under the drawer under the foward dinette seat. I'm looking at pictures of other boats and I see vents under the fwd dinette seat under the table and also some under the table on the outboard wall. These appear to rectangular and maybe returns. I'm thinking of installaing the return under the table on the outboard wall and blowing all of the cold air in a vent that replaces the heater. The product air would blow directly into the galley. I have also considered ducting the product air through the bulk head, over the Stb fuel tank and venting between the barrel chair and the the TV console. Any suggestions?

We are looking to replace the 12 v fridge with a 110v. Has anyone done this? What did you purchase? Trying to avoid major retrofit if possible so looking for something that is close or the same as the current fridge. Has a Norcold N7fxr.
Boat is 1989 - 3297
Also hoping to replace the stove oven combo with a convection microwave and maybe flat top range top or maybe just replace with counter and convection microwave. If you have any experience you care to share on that I'd love to hear it.

Hello! New member here. I own a 94 santego 380. I had the seats redone and the guy lost the strips of aluminum that the seat backs hang from on the front of the helm and the sides of the fly bridge. Anyone know what the proper name is for these mounts or where I can get some? Thanks for the forum and thanks in advance.
