I need to replace the forward hatch on my 300 and was wondering if anyone has dealt with Bomar?
Thanks!

Any guess as to what transmission would be in a 1981 28' Mariner with twin inboard 305s? I cant make out anything on the tags.

1998 carver 500 CMY with hard top aft deck with MarQuipt crane mounted.
Question: Does anyone have an idea of the weight restriction of the hard top for storing an inflatable boat with motor?

View the latest post 2009 Boat - 2008 D6 w/ IPS-C Drive Steering Seal?
- Posted by: Rocketman » December 6th, 2020, 11:37 am
- Forum: Diesel Engines/Transmissions
Found a 2009 44 Sojourn that I am looking at purchasing.
I can't seem to find anywhere details on the steering seal for this boat and if it is the older bronze or a newer SS.
In theory the 20009 had the new SS.
This boat was an early 2009 build and has the 2008 D6 370 engines but cannot find any details of if the IPS-C is 2008 or 2009 w/ SS seal.
Any help would be appreciated.
Boat is a fresh water only boat on a large closed lake all its life.
Thanks

View the latest post Attachment(s) Aft Shower woes 396
- Posted by: 650Guy » December 5th, 2020, 10:52 am
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
So just finished my first full season with my 396 and decided to redo the sealant around the shower door in the aft cabin as it was... well, awful! As I cut away all the caulk, I began to see why there was so much. Apparently it had a leak and all the wood under the door was about as rotten as politician, as soft as a sponge, well you get the idea.
Has anyone seen this and how did you fix it? from what I can tell, this piece of wood goes all the way around the shower door. Across the bottom, up the right, hinged side; and then across the top.
Kinda feel like I just opened a can of worms I really didn't want to... but now have to.

Roof caves in as fire engulfs Safe Harbor Toledo Beach Marina
LASALLE, Mich. (WTVG) - A large fire broke out Friday morning at the Safe Harbor Toledo Beach Marina in LaSalle, Michigan.
According to Monroe County dispatch, the call came in around 6:36 a.m.
“We are relieved that all of our employees are safe and we are aware of no injuries,” Safe Harbor Marinas chief resource officer James Phyfe said in a statement. “Our leadership team is at the property managing the situation. We are working closely with first responders and have initiated an investigation into the cause. As soon as we have more information, we will reach out to affected members.”
According to ABC affiliate WXYZ-TV in Detroit, the roof of the building caved in while the walls were collapsing. There is no official word on damage, including how many boats were being stored in the building.

- Posted by: Marty » December 2nd, 2020, 5:42 pm
- Forum: Electrical
Purchased an Eliminator inverter 2000 watts that I plan on mounting in a kitchen cabinet as it is not ignition protected. Question is the inline fuse provided with the inverter ok to mount close to batteries in the engine compartment or is a marine fuse necessary? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Cheers,

- Posted by: andrepio » December 2nd, 2020, 12:13 pm
- Forum: Carver Yachts Forum - Model Discussion
Hi,
New to this board. I currently have a 1993 Baja 290 and geetuing to a point in our life where we need more comfirt than spped so we are in the process of upgrading our current boat and we like the 2003 to 2007 Carver 366. I love the look o fthe boat and the setuo inside. Lots of room and love the sepereate state rooms.
I am leaning towards getting the diesels only to reduce running costs. I was wondering if anyone here has this boat with diesel engines and how the boat performs with these engines? I was able to find some info with the 7,4s gas but nothing on teh diesels. Looking for fuel consumption and cruising speed and anything to look for when it comes to diesel engines. I never owned a boat with a diesel engine before.
Thanks
Andre

View the latest post How do you keep Ice for long trip
- Posted by: Rocketman » December 2nd, 2020, 11:26 am
- Forum: General Boating Discussion
I am looking at a Carver 44 Sojourn that does not have an ice maker.
We plan on staying out (away from the dock) for several days at a time and wandering what others do for long term storage / making ice. I use a fair amount over a 24 hour period on the boat.
Boat has the larger fridge/freezer in the galley and another fridge upstairs. However no ice maker.
Getting a large yeti type cooler and loading up with a bunch of ice is one option but would prefer an ice maker on board.
Is there somewhere else to mount an ice maker or is it worth the trouble and expense?
Large Yeti would be cheaper but buying a bunch of ice gets to be a pain every time we go out.
Thoughts?
