The bottom is a capped Cable connection, but I don't know what the top one is. It has a single orange wire coming out the back?

I haven't removed the plug. In one sense I'm a little hesitant - don't want to lose it or not be able to get it back in.

What area does this drain? Has anyone removed it on their boat? Any issues?

Hello, We own an 87 Montego. The hatch door is a real bear to slide. Is there a new retro kit with different slides? The rail and guide system is shot.... And how do I access the existing hatch to replace these slides? Thanks

I installed 260W solar panel on my Albin 25 and I absolutely am committed to the concept. It runs my fridge and everything else all summer, no plug in, no charger needed. Now that I am (probably) moving to a Riviera, I want to repeat the project. I wonder if anyone has added solar to a 28, and if so, where did they locate the panel(s). No hardtop seems to leave only the front cabin top. Would love to see if anyone has done it. Next time the install will be a touch more subtle than this one!

Unfortunately my 89 Carver Montego 2757 was totaled by Boat US /Geico ---almost sank. I did save all the books, manuals, blueprints of electrical and plumbing etc--these are original and hard to find. In all they weigh almost 5 lbs.

Any one interested?

Looking too sell them for 50 bucks plus shipping.

Also looking for a replacement Carver or like.


Thanks

We just pulled out the Seward Microwave from our 1985 3607. It appears to work well. I just don't cook with a microwave and we repurposed that space with a small toaster over. Any offers??? I am in Manitoba, so shipping might be an issue.

Hi Everyone. Just became a Carver owner...and love my C52. Would love to engage with other C52 owners on the Chesapeake Bay. Thanks!

I bought a set of props from a seller that he stated were 22 x 21 for my 390CPMY. The shafts were 1.5” so I would need the brass adapter to step down to 1 3/8” no issue here. My WOT range is 4000 to 4400. I am able to , on a GOOD day hit 4000, usually I am in the 3900 range. We run HEAVY all the time. Full fuel and water, LOTS of provisions. ANYWAY, prop shop called and said after a scan the props measure 21.2 and 20.7 and 21 pitch respectively. They originally wanted to pitch at 22 x 20 for the 4400 number, by his calculations.

I am waiting to speak to him today, as he is one of the most respected prop shops around. He is suggesting we make both 21.2 x 21 pitch. I respect his suggestion, but looking for opinions on running a 3/4” smaller prop than the 22 spec’d. I guess I should have bought new, as these were a great price at $340.00 each with shipping. However, tune is $516.00 each Nd adaptive $1.15.00. SO I am at $950.00/prop. However a new one is $1760.00 from him. What are your opinions. I am still at 1/2 price of new, so I guess I am still in good shape.

So I checked the SOC meter to see what was happening. I have been without power for about 5 hours. I was actually quite surprised to see 10+ amps being input to the battery bank as it is really overcast today and has been like this since this morning. Pics don't lie. I am running dual 150W units in parallel FYI. Bottom line is solar is really a good investment on the boat.

Like many, my aux tank sat empty for many years and I wanted it back in service. I installed a spin on fuel/water separator/filter in the fuel line just upstream of the UFO fuel filter. Approximately 6 tanks of fuel and a dozen fuel filters later, there is some sort of green substance that won’t go away in the fuel. I know it can’t be algae, but it’s something like that. I just poured Starbrite fuel enzyme in there, and it seems to be working because I’m going through even more fuel filters and now the fuel lines are clogged. Has anyone gone through this process? I’m going to replace the one-way check valves at the fuel tank to see if that’s where the clog is. Anyone who has experience with this, please advise.
