My tank leaks an at this point it looks like splitting a riser and removing exhaust to get the 11 gallon tank out
If I lift the hatch frame up will the tank come out ?
Not sure how to unscrew the hatch support frame and lift it up
On another question for new owner my boat has 2 ac units with dual thermostats on the wall but after changing the AA batteries I can’t get power to them!
The ac panel has not breaker or switch so how do a turn the system on ?
1988 model with twin crusaders and a generator so tight spot to work

Discovered my boat doesn't have engine strainers. The genny does. The ac does.
How did I find out? Access to the slips in front of my condo from the north is shoaled in. Was going very slow but grounded it in sand. Was able to back out. Marina owner was with me as a second hand if needed.
Headed back to put it one of his slips. Starboard engine started getting warm. Had water flow out the exhaust, but temp got up to about 175 after about 10 minutes of heading back up the river. Revved the engine a few times but didn't clear it. Shut the engine down and came in on one.
Yesterday went to the boat to clean out the strainers. All my boats have strainers, right? Nope.
So now I'll be removing the thermostat and block drains in an effort to clear sand. Then replace the impeller. Then install proper strainers on both engines.
Never a dull moment.

I lost my boat to Hurricane Milton. Didnt sink but too much hull damage and was totaled. I saved many things from inside before it was hauled away. What I have left are tan galley cushions that are in excellent condition, no tears or stains. I am willing to give them away to someone that can use them. I have no idea if they will fit any other model of boat. The cushions are located in Punta Gorda FL. I will be back in Punta Gorda the first 2 weeks in June if anyone wants to view. Thanks.

Where to look for breaker for the anchor,
Do not see it in anchor locker or engine room.

Thanks

I have a Shurflo 2088-712-244 water pump with a Shurflo water strainer 252-3. When the pump, pumps water, the lid lifts and water spills out the top. I tightened it as much as the lid will go before the plastic piece stops it and still leaks?? The rubber gasket looks to be in good condition. I cannot seem to find a new replacement lid and was wondering if their is a newer model available or if I should just replace the pump with a simular model?

Hello, I am hoping someone in the Mobile AL area can point me in the right direction. We recently moved to Mobile AL (Dauphin Island Marina) and in planning ahead of any named storm this year, I am doing my research.

I own a Carver 406 and am told when a named storm approaches this area by both my Marina (Dauphin Island Marina) and by my insurance company, that I must seek safe harbor (not here).

Short of 160 miles up through the Coffeeville lock on the TennTom Waterway, I understand there are other places that are suitable for hurricane relief like the Mobile Industrial canal located in three-mile creek, places on the ICW, Black Warrior River near Tuscaloosa (seems pretty far) and more.

Can anyone point me to places or government agencies, local groups that I can help my research ahead of hurricane season? I have already tried the USCG, maybe I got the wrong department, as they had no idea and were more worried about getting sued than helping or pointing me in any right direction.

Does anyone need this

$600 takes it

Price includes shipping..

Does anyone know how to verify a surveyor's report to verify an " Failed Induced misfire test" on a 2008 8.1 Crusader, Captains Choice, cylinder #7? I was not there when the test was performed but the engine runs smoothly.
What is the procedure? What equipment is used?
Thanks

Hello

I sold this boat 8 years ago as I got tired of the yearly and other maintenance - always do everything myself and my kids were not using it much. I regretted it almost immediately as my kids shared all the memories at family gatherings. So the new owner called me a month ago as I requested he would if he ever sold it and he is basically giving the boat to me, as he hasn't used it in 3 years and he is getting on in age . I checked it out and it looks like the day I sold it nut a bit moldy on the closed cabin. So I am needing some Clorox spraying.

Anyway I couldn't be happier having this back. I got a slip right next to my son's boat and very close to my Contender. Picture in my old slip they week I sold it. This is at Hayes Haven Marina on the CT River in Chester CT. I live in nearby Higganum, CT.
Other picture in Greenport (NY) on our first trip in 1988 when the kids were kids. The boat is Waterfriends 4 and the Registration number is one. That should tell you how old I am. ;_-)

1. How do I post a picture..if allowed?

Thanks, Bob
