Has anyone had a bad odor under their salon bar sink in the cabinet? No smell in the sink. Was told it was the grey water tank but we sanitized that, still has odor Really need help!!

How hard is it to change the fuel gauge sending unit? My 2006 42SS fuel gages read total full with the key on n totally empty when the key is off. I drove it for six hours and they never moved off full.

My 2006 42SS heater was working fine. When the heater came on water came out the three over board holes. How there’s no water coming out and the heater runs all the time trying to get to the temperature set on the thermostat. I checked the CB and all where on except the AC water pressure pump. I turned it on and it pumped water out a different hole. I left it on hoping it would help the heater. After about an hour I turned it off because it didn’t help.

I have a Kohler 7.3e generator. The fuel pump is badly corroded and needs to be replaced. My manual does not list the part number. My search so far has found Facet 278490. Can someone confirm that number? I have had a few misses on part number cross references that resulted in repair delays and returned parts. Thanks

I have a 1988 3607 and would like to replace all the port light lenses. The frames seem to be in good shape. Does anyone have advise where to purchase and what part number I need. They look to be 24 1/2 x 7 1/2 and 14 1/2 x 7 1/2”. Probably need to replace the hatches as well. Would I need to replace entire unit or just the lenses?

Amazing amount of innovation here. Take a look at the video.

If anyone has resorted to using a portable generator, such as a Honda 2000 for example, on a 28 Riv . . . where did / do you store it and run it? Looking for a short term solution before going solar for staying out all week/weekend. Everything major on this boat seems to be 110V - TV, stove, fridge, A/C if I can fix it, water heater.

Recently purchased 2009 44 Sojourn and the upstairs fridge was not running on 12V power. Runs fine on 120V AC w/ shore power and/or generator.
I verified all the breakers were on and finally decided the little inverter on the back of the fridge had probably gone out (I have had this happen before on other boats). I pulled the fridge and found that the 12V wires coming off the inverter were not connected to anything. Just tied up on the back of the fridge like they were from the factory. I looked all around inside the compartment and cannot find the wires coming from the DC power panel. I opened the DC power panel and verified the breaker has a large orange wire labeled Z1 connected to it and the wire goes thru the bulkhead at he back of the power panel area. At that point I have no idea where the wire is going or how to find it. It is under the stairs going to the fly bridge and there is no access anywhere that I can see to run wires up.

Any ideas or anyone had a similar problem with Carver.

There is also no other 12V power behind the fridge so I am not sure how to even get the wire up to it at this point if I have to just run a new wire.

We own a 2013 C34 with twin Mercruisers and have spent some time in the bilge so if I can be of any help I will pipe in when I can offer a helping hand. Safe boating to all.

I have been narrowing this down and ask for more input. 1994 390CPMY. 12V start, 12V genset, 2 6V GC Batteries house. 3 bank smart charger.

I have narrowed it down to these two systems. Both are expandable.

1). Go Power! Solar Flex Solar Charging Kit 200 Watts
Rated Output: 200 Watts, 11.36 Amps, 17.5 Volt DC
Includes: (2) Solar Modules, Controller, MC4 Connectors, Mounting Hardware
Solar Panel Dimensions: 44.6" x 21.4" x 0.1" Each (2 Panels)
Item #: 202232 Brand: Go Power Model #:
GP-FLEX-200

2).Xantrex Portable Rigid Solar Panel Kit - 160 Watt
Rated Output: 160 Watt, 8.34 Amps, 19.2 Volt DC
Includes: Solar Module, Charge Controller, Battery Connectors, Legs
Open Panel Dimensions: 55.9in x 26.4in x 1.4in
Item #: 205133 Brand: Xantrex Model #:
782-0160-01
Packaged Weight: 40.00 Lbs.

Both are expandable. I would mount on the aft hardtop. I am thinking flexible are better and easier to mount on the flat surface. How did any who have these mount them? I also assume that I would send the charge cables to the controller and then the batteries (house bank) and not worry about when under power (alternators charging) or when plugged into shore power or genset running? Controller would not collide with these other charge items?

Both are around $700.00. I would probably add an extra panel to brin Xantrex up to 320 watts, and GO Power up to 400 watts. It would certainly let me run genset a lot less when at a mooring.

Thanks and I look forward to the help in advice sent.
