I have a CD changer which is installed in a cabinet above the electrical panels. I would like to remove the changer (we use Bluetooth now) but there are no visible connections, screws, etc.

Has anyone removed such a device and, if so, how is it done? This cabinet is in a 2000 396 aft cabin.

I have a 1999 356 aft cabin and would like any suggestions on how to reduce the heat build up in the cabin during the week when not at the boat. My AC control does not allow a dehumidifying setting. I'm thinking of installing insulating/blackout curtains. Has anyone had success on this topic and if so what is the solution?

I am winter-exploring my so-far-not-used-by-me Riv and I am a little mystified:
Back in the aft cabin, beside the battery box, is a NOCO Genius Gen2 Mini 2 bank charger that I plug in for an overnight every once in a while as the boat sits wrapped in my yard awaiting spring. So far so good.
Now I dig around under the forward lounge where I find a Guest 2610 10 amp 2-output charger, no idea what it is charging and how it is doing it from so far away from the batteries.
Any ideas or clarifications welcome.

And while I have your attention, and maybe off-topic but maybe on topic, depending on the answer:
I also found the very odd little metal push-button alongside the very odd input/output thingy located at the stbd passenger seat, pictures below.
I need to know what these are for!! The manual as usual is not helpful. Ideas?

And Happy New Year Carverites!

We’ve recently taken possession of a 1991 Carver 3608. She is our third Carver and we just love her.
The craft has been well maintained but we are experiencing trouble with a GFI outlet which is situated in the entertainment cabinet in the aft cabin. After operating the engines the GFI trips and, as it is “hidden” in a cupboard for some reason, l do sometimes forget to check it which is a problem as it is on the same circuit as the battery charger. Has anyone else experienced this problem and any thoughts on why this GFI is located where it is. Thanks

I'm very familiar with the Sea Ray line up and currently considering a 99-02 400 SunDancer with Cat 3116/3126 engines.

Came across a 2000 Trojan Hardtop Express made by Carver with Volvos and have lots of questions.

Any owners on here? The specs from the 40 SeaRay to 44 Carver/Trojan are pretty different obviously. The Trojan is a much bigger boat all around. We'd be using it on the Chesapeake Bay.

Thanks in advance for the comments!

Hi my name is Shragie I’m a new owner to my 2007 Carver C36.

Hey all,

We are recently proud owners of a new to us 2007 40 MY model 3808, and the learning has begun...

I found under berth access to 2 stateroom AC of the 3 AC units on-board, but the unit in the salon is behind panels on the starboard side above the stairs to the aft cabin, but below the floor of the cockpit above. No clues in the manual about how to access this unit for maintenance (cleaning screens, coolant, etc. etc.)

Anybody have any suggestions about how to access this unit?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions / reference to other homework I can do on maintaining our new cruiser...

Hey all,

New to forum and our family is proud owner of new to us 2007 40 Motor yacht, model 3808. So the learning has begun as this is our first cruiser... loving the adventure!

An interesting one that I can't find in manuals or videos... The bow cabin has a porthole/skylight with an inside "1/2 1/2" cover that slides across the opening. One half is screen and the other half is blackout shade. But the latches for opening the porthole are on the other side of the cover and not obvious how to "open" the cover. I've tried some additional force on the tabs of the two covers but they don't want to separate and I don't want to break the whole cover...

Anybody have suggestions for what I am doing wrong here?

Merry Christmas all!

Our family is the proud owner of a new to us 2007 40 Motor yacht, and very excited to see this community forum. I'm an avid learner and looking forward to gaining and sharing experiences with this group.

Happy New Year to all,
