The sliding door of our 26/28 is literally a sliding door: aluminium on aluminium..... great because the door will never close by itself trapping a hand or fingers but pretty annoying to open and close in all other instances.

I remember seeing some pictures of the rollers at the bottom but can't seem to find them any more.

I'd like to know how to take the door apart and what to replace. Or perhaps a different solution that works instead of trying to find rollers as direct replacements.

Hi all i am looking into installing a hydraulic lift platform on my Carver 530 and was wondering if anyone has completed this on their 530-560.... any pictures of transom and install process would be great also will the Gensets have to be removed for install and will the transom on these models handle the extra weight... Boat safe...

Good afternoon!
We just purchased our new to us 2000 530 voyager in Stuart, FL and are in delivery mode to St. Joe, MI. I have been lurking and gathering information and this forum seems to be the place. Hope I can contribute as much as I have benefitted. Have a few projects to do when we get back and then we are officially starting our loop in September. I have refitted a few other trawlers. Cheers everyone.

Well, John Buoy was launched last week! Yeah...maybe. As mentioned in an earlier post the lake levels are quite high. They are expecting it to rise another 8 inches. Water level is set to crest at the end of June. Hydro is currently turned off to the docks. Here is a comparison from last year to this year. Last year it was a small step up at the mid-ship point. This year it is a large step up to the swim platform. My rubber boats were too short so I had to put in some Glad "boot liners". Doug's boots were just tall enough.

We have a 1982 model 3007 Carver 30' aft cabin. Does the wire set (designated "P") go directly from connector #8 up in the flybridge to the stern nav light or does it take a detour and connect anywhere along the way?
Thanks,
Michael

The cat whiskers on the starboard side windows was a total mess. Even had some weeds growing in it. SO, I went to Harbor Freight and got some picks and went at it. Pulling the old out was just a matter to technique. Except for a bone chilling stab to the left thumb, it was just pick and pull. Then cleaning out the channels for the new to sit. I was able to slide some in and pull from the other end to length and then push and pick until it was locked in place. The window drains were also plugged solid. SO, before, during and after pics. Start to finish was approx 2.25 hours. Port side next. NOT as bad as I thought….except for the stabbing of one’s thumb!

We are new owners to a beautiful 2003 360 SS and couldn't be happier. We decided to step up from our 21' Crownline open bow to a cruiser because, well we want to travel. Cue gas price increase. :-O

. Anyway we are glad we did it. I joined this forum because we need some replacement parts like drawer locks and exterior courtesy lights. Hopefully, the helpful folks on here can hook us up.

So the engine light reminder indicator died . I found it’s replacement on Amazon . I took the black casing with green indicator for its replacement. Simple, just make sure of your positive and neg wiring. Blue is positive and yellow neg. Just use a clear varnish to touch up old scratches.

Replacing my Maxwell Freedom 800 horizontal windlass , (no loner made) on my 1997 355 aft. Leaning to just going with the newer Maxwell rc8 model that is the suggested freedom 800 replacement by Maxwell.

1. Could I use the Maxwell rc 6 version (cheaper), would that be underpowered?
2. Also thinking of going with a vertical windlass so everything is above deck. Easier mounting and maintainer? Any disadvantages to vertical instead of horizontal?
3. Also considering lewmar 700 horizontal. ?

This would be a fresh installation as the windlass area on my deck has been re done and glassed.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Can anybody tell me the bridge clearance requirements. I can’t find any specs that show it. I guessing 16 feet
