HELP!!! Anchor windlass isn't working. Whenever I select UP or DOWN movement of anchor, I hear a click and nothing happens. Had someone diagnose and he thinks the motor has burned out as the UP foot switch was stuck in the engaged position. I've ordered a new replacement motor but not sure about the actual repair to replace the motor. Quick technician says it's not considered and easy job. Anyone have any experience replacing the motor?

I should mention this particular windlass comes complete one unit that sits on the deck. No motor mounted below deck.

I have a 98 Carver 355 Aft Cabin. The rear and side windows leak and have mould in the channels. Looking for help with restoration or obtaining replacements!
anyone familiar with this problem?

Wondering if anyone knows the part number for the fuel line check valve or the size and tread of the male connector

Hi we are Suzy and JD just bought 1989 3807 aft cabin with 454's.
Anyone know the Hull speed of this boat? Or what is the waterline length.?

So I am sitting on the boat on the flybridge with my wife and coffee while checking out CYO this morning and it's raining pretty good. My problem is I have dripping coming from the support poles of the roof. Not a downpour but enough to be annoying. I unzipped the support pouch and can see the entire length where the pole touches the roof is leaking obviously caused by the contact of the pole. This is through the canvas not a seam. Any recommendation to fix this as opposed to spraying the area with canvas sealer which will most likely be temp fix due to the pole contact. A couple of small foam strips like for plumbing? Any idea would be great to try. Please advise.

Does anyone have experience replacing a starter in a Koehler 10,000W Genset with a YanMar Diesel? There are issues getting the new starter installed. It’s a very tight fit with the motor mount.

I was in he engine room replacing my house fresh water pump. This past owner has some inventive ideas. He has irrigation fittings on these lines. However, on the right is the line coming from the fresh water tank in the aft cabin. It is the supply line to the pump. What is this thing? I was thinking pressure regulator, but it is on the wrong side of the pump. Thanks again!

Hey folks.
My vinyl 'Captains Chair' is looking funky. The 'First Mate' chair is not as bad but not great. All other seating on the boat is pristine. (I have included 2 images..one clean and the target)
Does anyone have a suggestion for cleaning them up without damaging the surface. I have tried various approaches to no avail.
Thanks.

Last August I bought a Dometric 12K BTU Reverse cycle unit and the SMXII controller. It was EBAY number 264357583158. I bought it from Citi Marine and the seller was fantastic to work with. The unit worked great and has all summer, except for a few occasions. Today again, the set point was at 70, but the temp got up to 76, and it has done this a few times. I can adjust the temp, but the only thing that works is to shut it off and turn it back on and all works great. I have seawater flow, clear strainer, water coming out from cooling the unit, and filter is clean and unit is NOT icing up. Can you give me some guidance

Vapor alarm started alarming almost daily on and off around noon to evening. Started when battery charger was on. Immediately turned off over a week ago. No Fuel detection. Possible Hydrogen. Have solar. Inverter off and charger in standby. Issue continues. Blower does seem to temporarily relieve alarm.
Checked battery water levels all good.
Is sensor being finicky or do we have a problem?
