Both sending units went out within 2 months of each other. I've been able to replace the starboard side (after finding the 'secret' hatch) but I'm having difficulty finding access to the port sending unit. From the salon, it would be directly below the built in cabinet. I haven't been unable to find any access thru the cabinet. Am I missing it or do I need to drill a hole thru the floor of the cabinet????
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Hello everyone, first post here. Were looking to buy new stands for our boat. Im looking at brownell mb3 motorboat stand with top 25"-38". Boats 22,500#s, going to buy 6 and block the keel. This is our first big boat and i honestly have no clue what im going to need. Maybe someone with a similar boat can offer me some knowledge, thank you.

Hey everyone. I'm new here. Actually purchasing the boat in the thread title. I've never owned a boat this big before, nor an I/O. I currently also have a '72 Glastron V-176 Swinger with a 1972 100hp Johnson outboard... so to say the least, this will be new for me. This will have the Mercruiser 5.7l, 1989 as well.

This boat will need a good cleaning on the topside and will need to be totally redone in the cabin. The previous owner said it ran last year. I know when I've purchased older outboard boats I always check compression, but it may be more difficult on this. What else should I look for and check out while I'm there. I plan to check floors/stringers/transom, at least as well as I can.

I'd love any info people have on this motor and this boat. I'm looking forward to the project and learning from all of you in the forums!

Hello, I am looking for parts for the engine in a Kohler 10E generator. Below is the post from the gas engine forum. I am putting it here in case someone only looks at generator posts.
Thanks,

I have a 88 Carver aft cabin and the battery charger is a Professional Mariner 35 Amp charger 3 bank with an input of 85 to 140 V.A.C 60 cycles 3 amps. It is very old with rust. I am looking for recommendations for a replacement of it to ensure I have a newer smarter charger.
Thanks

I’m in need of a fiberglass exhaust T. 2 ends are 4” , 1 is 6”. I’ve searched the Internet and have been unable to locate a replacement part.

Survey last week on a prospective 2004 466. Discovered aft midships cleats on both sides a little 'loose' - i.e., when the surveyor rapped them with his hammer, the cleat would rotate off center a little bit; and then when rapped on the other side/end, the cleat would rotate back the other way, just a smidge...

I'm wondering if anyone else has tackled this issue on a 466 and can offer some words of advice on how to get in to the back side (i.e. backing plates side) of those?.... Thanks

I contacted Taylor Made and no longer stocking the weather stripping for my 94 390CPMY. They sent me samples that I could try and match up. However, no matter how many times I look at these windows, I can’t figure out how to get them out of the tracks to replace the weather stripping. From outside? Inside? Suggestions?

Thanks!

I am replacing my Davit with a Presto Marine XL500 hydraulic lift so in preparing for the install I removed my current davit. Access to the the hardware is thru the 4 access holes on the platform deck. When I opened the covers I discovered really poor craftsmanship in the attempt seal the cellulose core. The installer simply smeared silicone sealant around the edge which of course did little to seal over time. They did not seal the actual frame of the access hole so water just seeped in.
As a result I have quite a bit of rotten core to remove. As far as can tell, the damage is limited to an inch or so in from the cuts, the core is just soaked so over the next few 90 plus days I will leave all the holes open and see if it will dry out enough for me to dig out the bad core and replace with reinforced filler to seal. I can detect little or no soft areas on the deck so I am not planning to tear up the deck. there were two Weaver Snap Davit plates still installed and I found that there was no sealant nor even nuts on the bolts!
Word to the wise, before you hire modifications done to your boat that is near of under the water line, make sure you get specifics on what the plan is to seal the area. There are a lot "mechanics" out there that either have no clue or just don't give a damn about their work. This is why I NEVER let anyone touch my boat. I am blessed with the background and experience to do my own work and I know that not everyone is. I feel so bad for those who are held hostage and have to rely on the "professionals" to do the job right.

We just bought a 1987 carver voyager 2827 double helm and we are looking for the enclosure for the upper helm. We have the bimini top with the frame already just need the side curtains or will buy complete used or new or even something that may need some repair. We are located in Michigan. Thank you for any help or suggestions. Picture is of our boat for reference.
