I am expecting to close on one of three Carvers before March 1. Looking at two 41 CMYs ('07 or '08) & one 43 MY ('03). Hoping to gain some insights as well as ask questions. Have had experience owning a 30' Chris Craft Express. Looking to dock in Chattanooga.

View the latest post Replacement Mooring Chain for a 1999 445

- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
New to this size boat
Ran out my chain and found it to only be 175 feet long. Last few owners didn't do much with the boat. Wanting to replace with 300'. The current chain appears to be 8mm 1.5" links stamped LH. Local shop wasn't sure of the origin suspects its a foreign make.
Any recommendations for replacement that will be compatible on my windlass?

Had this link for quite some time now. Figured some of you may be interested in getting an original brochure. There are several to choose from, some are sold out. Most seem to come from dealerships and have a business card stapled to them. https://boatbrochure.com/collections/carver

Hello everyone!
My name is Trent, and I've been sailing for several years on different types of boats. I'm particularly drawn to Carver yachts. Last year, I had the chance to go on a nice cruise along the French Riviera, and it was a memorable experience.
I'm here to exchange tips, maintenance advice, and discover new cruising ideas. I'd also love to hear your recommendations for interesting destinations to explore.
Looking forward to chatting with you all and learning from your experiences!
See you on the water soon!

View the latest post Replace AC Circuit Breaker Panel?
- Posted by: cjblovinlife » January 2nd, 2025, 8:25 pm
- Forum: Electrical
I have a 1996 380 Santego . Some of the breakers on the AC panel are failing. I do not use a generator at all so I have no need for the shore power and generated power switches. I’m thinking about replacing the whole panel. Has anybody done this? Does anybody have any recommendations I see blue sea systems has a few options

- Posted by: irobertson » January 2nd, 2025, 1:10 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hi all,
In the fall when I went to take the boat out I discovered that a Muskrat had gotten in and chewed a nice big hole in my starboard muffler. I've searched online and haven't found any that look like they would be a direct drop in replacement.
Anyone know a source to get a replacement?
Thanks
