Hi all,

I just purchased a 2007 Carver 35SS, 3rd owner. I’m trying to figure out how to pull out the microwave/coffee maker combo unit and replace with a more updated convection/air fryer appliance.

There are no obvious mounting/securing screws, nor do I see a trim piece that I can remove - other than the hole cut in the cabinetry itself, this doesn’t appear to be a trim piece, like surrounding the TV or cabinet doors which may reveal screws.

All I see is a black board that seems to just be sitting on top of the microwave. It is not secured, but cut and shaped such that it’s not going anywhere, and I can’t pull it out - although I CAN wiggle it. That being the case, it doesn’t appear to be securing the microwave in place, but probably rather just stopping the microwave from bouncing around in the cavity? I don’t know.

At any rate - any advice on how I can pull this microwave? I have pulled the power from the outlet that’s inside the cabinet directly to the right of the appliance - and when I attempt to pull on the microwave (seems solidly mounted) it’s not as if it is snagging on the cord in any way that I can tell.

Any advice would be SO appreciated!

So, since we took ownership of our 1999 445 (Diesel) we have had some Stink issues in both head areas and under the galley sink. We removed and cleaned both commodes (Muriatic acid needed to remove years of scale). Rebuilt both Vacu-flush pumps and replaced duck-bills. Also replaced the line from Aft head to grey water holding tank. The heads are now stink free but we cannot get the smell out of the cabinets area under the galley sinks. The sink plumbing is there but also the Vacuum pump for the Fwd head. Any ideas what could be the source of the odor? Frightened that it may be the line from the pump to the grey water holding tank for the Fwd head.....Help

Hello. I'm an owner of a 2006 Carver 56' Voyager and have been dealing multiple tail shaft failures on both Starboard and Port side. Prior to owning the boat in 2018 both shafts and propellers were replaced. Since owning the boat in 2021 have experienced 3 tail shaft failures. Item that continues to be discussed is the shaft length and the distance from the aft strut to the propeller hub (currently 4" and overall length of shaft is 2.25" x 122"). Failures are occurring at forward end of propeller taper and 4" aft of rubber cutlass stern bearing. Would anyone have the original design length for the shaft? Thought is that when shafts were replaced in 2018 incorrect dimensions taken and propagating the problem.

Howdy all! During the survey on my ‘04 366, we found the Novakool RFS7501 ac/dc side by side fridge freeze runs well but is only running on dc. I’ve read the 101N0510 controller is the common failure on these and easy enough to replace but is a $300ish part going into a 20yr old fridge. Is it worth fixing or just deal with it till the whole thing dies? If it only worked on AC, this would be an easier decision…gotta keep the bevy’s cold on the hook! With it constantly running on dc, I have to imagine that’s wearing on (I’m assuming) the house battery bank? Looks like the replacement fridge is $1800+…how long do these generally last? What are your thoughts?

Good Morning

I have a 1977 Carver 2276 in great condition but missing a few items. It has two sinks, one in the Galley and one in the head. I am missing both water tanks for those. Any idea of what they would be or are spec'd? If not original, what would work...

I also notice two optional seats on either side of the motor. Same question, what was there originally (spec'd) or what might work now? They would need to be mounted tot he transom or somehow removable for storage/access below in the deck

Hi Guys

I can't figure out what these switchs do:
Pressure Washer (Water PRessure?)
Volts-2 (up)/Fuel Volts (down)
Both (up)/Pump (down) - switch is next to nav and anchor lights


Thanks

Hello everyone
New to the Forum, we just bought our first Carver, 2000 Carver 506. Our kids (11,13,15) are getting bigger so our 2000 Chaparral getting to small for us.

Very Excited for the adventure but also nervous.
Question, boat is in Baltimore MD and need to make a 40 NM trip back home to Occoquan Bay. For others that own Carver 506, with 6CTA Cummins what is your BPH and how long will the 40NM trip take you guys usually? Will stay around 17knots. I need to get it out of current marina by 3/31/25

Thanks in Advance all

Hi I have a 36' MY. The trim tab reservoir is low and there does not seem to be an easy way to get to it to fill. Is there a way without taking the entire back cabinet apart? Its below the cabinet in the aft cabin right side of bed.

Thanks.

Greetings All,

Looking for some of your experiences and feedback.

I want a Whaler (‘80’s vintage) as my tender/dinghy for my ‘89 3807 Aft Cabin and while I know I can make a 9 footer work bow or stern, I’m wondering if I could get away with an 11 footer or would it’s length & weight be too much.
Reason for Whaler over a rib is my wife and brother who will be with me most on longer trips are both non swimmers and none of us are as young or agile as we once were (lol). I think the designed inherent buoyancy and not having to worry about inflating/deflating in a hurry would give us all a bit more peace of mind.
I already own a 13 foot ‘84 whaler I use for fishing and short day runs and considered using it for a while but thinking the length and weight of it with the stern lifting platform I would need would be way too much weight and length across the stern’s beam…
I welcome your thoughts on all of this - 9, 11, 13? Thanks.
