I've tried to search the forum to answer this with no luck but what is the process for removing an engine in these aft cabins? I am looking at a 96 370 AC that has a port side fuel tank leaking. I understand the associated engine on that side would need to be removed so the tank can come out. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Something odd happened to me last Friday. Was on the boat and I got a low battery warning @ 11.9V. Hmmm, I have been plugged into shore power for a good 5 days and assume my 2 year old charger is working fine. The 2 other battery banks for the engines are registering around 14V on a float charge which is pretty much normal. Went out fro a ride and nothing changed in voltage on the house bank so I assume that both alternators are not malfunctioning. Though I must have a defective isolater output going to the house bank since all juice needs to go through this to get to the battery. As luck would have it I had installed a 4 bank charger for use when on the dry for 120v only which is connected directly to each bank so I flipped off the main charger breaker and plugged in the 120v charger however the battery did not increase much at all after a good 14 hrs to only 12.3V. It has been charging since Friday evening and I just checked remotely, shows 12.98v but this is after almost 3 days of charging. It should be on a float charge by this time at around 13.5v++. Can only assume the battery has gone bad even if it is only 2 years old. Unfortunately this is dual L16 6v battery setup which is worth around $1000.

A little info. Dual 435AH 6V L16 batteries, secondary charger is only 10a per bank and seems to charge but at a ridiculously slow rate. This charger is hooked up directly to the battery so no acr or isolator to go through. Water levels on both batteries are fine and a visual inspection shows plates clean as a whistle.

Bottom line is the bank just seems like it does not want to take a charge at a normal pace.

Anyone have any advice/suggestions for me before I dish out a bunch of boat dollars and lug 125lb batteries around?

NEW bridge enclosure being installed tomorrow! EEEKKKKKK!!!!

Wondering if anyone might know where to go to find deck & cockpit carpet sets for 326 aft cabin?

I have searched extensively on line for the Engine Diagrams and Parts List for 1993 454XL Crusader engines Serial number RH 90268. Found many versions but nothing for 1993. Does anyone know where I can locate a copy?

We are starting to get HOT here in Texas and the ac in our 350 just can't seem to keep up. It's a Ocean Breeze 18,500 BTU unit. I'm thinking of replacing it with 2 MarinAire units, 16,000 BTU for the salon/galley and 9,000 for the bedroom/head. I'm estimating around 1300 cubic ft. of space to heat and cool which at 17 btu per cubic ft is just about 22,100 btu. Has anyone out there added a second unit to their Mariner? Any input is appeciated.

Hi everyone… I am new to this form and also a new Carver owner… I have a 1984 Carver Mariner 28 and I am looking for a replacement front hatch. I am located in Ontario Canada. Does anybody know of a source for me to find a replacement…?

Hi- we are in search of a control board for our Volvo penta BP 800 12V part no. 41100626. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find one? I did reach out to thruster parts and am waiting to hear back. Appreciate any other feedback or suggestions. Thank you!

I need to remove the clear side panel that go from the aft deck to bridge, example to big clear "plexiglass" on starboard side near stairs going to bridge..

I want to clean out a few years of crud in the corners and eventually repaint the base of the radar arch that is starting to peel.

It looks like after the screws all come out of the panel it is matter of lifting and tilting it in a specific sequence to get it out of the tracks.. my biggest concern it ends up being something that comes out but is a pain to get back in.

Any advice from someone that had take them out. ?

Thanks.

I NEED A NEW COUCH FOR MY 1994 390. I HAVE ABOUT 80” (oops! Sorry for caps) I have seen kits that can be assembled so they fit through the aft cabin door however, I can’t think of the website. Any help?

Thank you!
