I was getting this 6.4 code on my EDC control panel for the starboard engine. My neutral green light would not come on but the yellow diagnostic button would flash that code and the starboard engine would start.

However after running for a few minutes the engine would idle up to 1000rpm which I know is the “safe mode” and is caused by the engine losing communication/signal with my starboard flybridge controls. So I turned it off.

In my owners manual the cause for that 6.4 code is faulty values from pontentiometers, controls not calibrated, communication faults.

Since my neutral light wasn’t coming on I decided to clean the connections in the plug behind the dash. Tried things again and the neutral green light came on and the engine started but then idled up to 1000rpms again. So I turned it off.

Now the starboard engine won’t start at all and I get nothing when trying to start the starboard engine...when I turn the key push activate and turn to start nothing happens now...no yellow or green lights come on. I hard wired the neutral feed to make sure it wasn’t the plug connections but still got nothing. (Did the same thing on the port side and that engine is staring just fine).

I tried staring in the Pilothouse and the same thing is happening down there. So I am at a lose as to where to investigate next!

Does anyone have and experience or advise for this? Thanks so much!

The admiral wants a new look in the salon and the countertops are at the top of her list. There doesn't seem to be a good way of removing the countertops without damaging the cabinets. Has anyone removed the countertops and if so, how? I have attached a pic of the galley showing the countertops.

Someone suggested epoxy coating for the countertops which would not require their removal. Anyone try this methods? I think we would hire a professional since I am fearful of causing damage while installing epoxy.

Thanks.

Hey all I am purchasing a 1988 4207 Carver. The water tank is currently a Bladder and I want to replace it with a plastic tank. Does anyone have dimensions of the location where the fresh water tank/bladder is located? also is the floor flat or is it tapered to match the hull?
I'm also going to replace the waste tanks and hoses as the appear to be original, I also need the dimensions of them. I won't have access to the boat for about 8 days and would like to get the tanks ordered up ASAP!

I have a drainage question with my 1983 Riviera 2807.

The anchor and rode lockers at the bow drain directly into the bilge. A hose runs from the bottom connector and dumps right by the forward bilge pump. When there is a good rain storm, this locker catches a decent amount of water.
Does anyone know if this locker should just drain into the bilge as it is now, or should it be going to a through hull fitting overboard?
I guess it's not incredibly important either way but it is nice to have a dry bilge.
Would appreciate anyone's thoughts.

While I'm at it, i also noticed today that this forward bilge pump, pumps the water out slightly below the water line. I feel like this may be wrong?

Thank you,

Asking for a friend: new to this model 2004 360 Mariner and need to know HOW TO LOCATE AND ACCESS THE WATER HEATER. please advise!

I am working on a Kohler 56 foot boat. The Kohler generator model 23EOZD will not start. It doesnt even turn over. The battery is good and the control power is functional. When I press run it briefly flashes CC1 and I can hear the fuel pump run for a short time. The display then changes to OC which is Over Crank. According to the manual the generator should go through the CC1-CC2-CC3 process where each CC represents an attempt by the starter to start the generator set. In my case it only goes CC1. I thought I would check here and see if anyone has any ideas as to how to proceed.

Hi all and if I'm in the wrong place for this I'm sorry, let me know and I will look elsewhere. I recently got a deal I couldn't refuse on a model 2897 Carver 1983 with twin 305 chevys. Anyway my only issue with the boat is the V-drives. The cooling hoses are disconnected on all ends and the hoses lay on the bottom of the boat starting and ending nowhere. Does anyone have a cooling schematic or photo for me to trace all this out. I read I should pressure test the cooling pipe inside the V-drive to be sure there is no water leaks into the drive oil. This is no sweat and and easy test. I have all the equipment to do this as I am a semi-retired mechanic with 50 years under my belt. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
