We have a 2000 53 Carver Voyager. The rudder indicator is off by one mark. I can’t find anyway to adjust the rudder unit. Has anyone had this issue and corrected it? Thanks in advance.

I'm looking at a 1992 Carver 43 CPMY. The hull sides are cored, but I can't really find much information on how the hull is constructed below the waterline. How thick is the layup, are the stringers fiberglassed plywood or a composite and is the transom solid fiberglass or is it backed with plywood or some other material?

I'd like to know what the switch (fuses) panel originally looked like in my 1992 26 Command bridge / 280 Sedan bridge

Mine has a creative mess and as I'll have to rebuild the thing anyway, perhaps I can do that in style.

edit: I was initially looking for the fuse/switch panel but am also interesed in the 'dashboard' (dials around the wheel) edit II: 'helmpanel' as I found some remnants of a previous engine setup.

Thanks in advance

I can cut breaker off, then back on. It will run for hours sometimes, then same thing, cuts off, HPF code comes on the thermostat. Any help appreciated.

Does anyone know anyone who can/will make custom quilted mattress covers? I need two made for my fwd mattresses in my '83 3607. The mattresses themselves are in great shape, but are vinyl and wouldn't make great sleeping surfaces. It looks like the former owner shot a lot of vinyls and used their hides to recover these mattresses (and the triangle plug) as well as all of the cushions in the settee cubicle. Also, what do you use for sheets and blankets in the v-berth?

Boy, I'm getting smart listening to you guys!

I am not on the boat and need to order a oil filter for the genny. Can someone tell me what model was installed on the 2000 396? Or provide the part number for the appropriate oil filter. Thanks.

Main hatch over entry doors does not go even with the doors when closed. There is an opening ranging from 1" to 1 7/16". Although I'm in a covered slip and no rain can get in, the heat from the cabin can easily escape. Also, I cannot secure the interior with any lock. All of the edges of the non-mating surfaces appear to be 'factory'. Am I missing something? Right now I'm stuffing the opening with rags to keep the fall temperatures at bay. Trying to find a pool noodle to cut down. Any wisdom out there? Oh, by the way, it's on an '83 3607Aft Cabin.

Thanks for the education.

OK, how do I post pick of this?

Hello I'm Nado we own a 84 3207 aft. New to boating

Yesterday the captain and I were out on the 2006 Carved 36MY "Condo" and experienced a stuttering in the port engine. It was moderate light load 1400rpm, after having just gassed up.

It would run smooth for a bit, then rough, then smooth. I initially thought we'd sucked up some residual water in the fuel tank, and has it trapped in the filter from our most recent fillup.

After we came back, I decided to pull spark plugs to get a read on their condition. Turns out they were OEM from 2006, with 270hrs, and one has cracked insulator. A quick trip to auto parts store got me a new set of exact replacements.

Now a much smoother running motor!

The captain and I had a short trip yesterday after determining our starboard engine starboard side exhaust elbow was actually cracked and puffing exhaust into the engine bay.

My question is for those with gas engines, having replaced exhaust elbows, and shopped for value item for the price.

I see (4) choices available on web searches.
-OEM volvo penta elbow in the $250 range
-Sierra elbow in the $200 range
-BAR elbow in the $175 range
-HGE elbow in the $150 range

Are the OEM elbows worth the extra cost due to finish or feature? Can anyone verify that?

Searching for OEM part numbers comes up with Sierra part number equivalent. Anyone use Sierra exhaust parts and if so what is your impressions as to quality and longevity?

Anyone choose to use the BAR equivalent, and if so, your impressions on quality and longevity.

All feedback is appreciated, looking for cost effective fix for the next +7yrs
