View the latest post New boat owner


Hi,
I am a first-time boat owner. I recently purchased a 1983 Carver 2807 Riviera (aft cabin) and am using it as a liveaboard. The boat had been abandoned for a number of years so it is in rough shape. I have given it a good cleaning and now am ready to start repairing it. I am a bit overwhelmed at the list of things that I need to fix so I am trying to prioritize the list to tackle the most critical ones first. My primary needs are heat, plumbing, and new windows (the existing ones are broken and leak).

Any suggestions on where to purchase replacement parts and/or how to troubleshoot/repair existing systems?

Thanks for any advice you can give. I am so glad that I found this discussion board.

View the latest post Attachment(s) Rudder sending unit adjustment


Any ideas on how to loosen, adjust, and re-tighten this rudder sending unit? I am off on the gauge by about 5%. It is tough to get back in there and just wanted to “go in once”if I can. It looks like the metal rod has threads, at least on the end connected to the sending unit, but wasn’t able to get close enough to tell for sure. Also don’t want to break it.

View the latest post Help with transport specs


I just purchased a 1979 Voyager 3326 and am having a hard time finding the height of the boat so that I can get accurate quotes. Shippers are asking for Keel measurement, however I dont know how to figure that. Carver says 11'9" above water height, and also draft is 3'2", but I am not sure how those relate to shipping height. :help:
Some people say that to transport over land that the Flybridge needs to come off, others say that only the windshield and steering wheel needs removed. :banghead:
Does anyone have the height from the lowest point to the highest point with the windshields removed, and also with the Flybridge removed?
I wont have eyes on the boat until I need to do the work removing things. Since the trip to the boat is over 500 miles I am trying to figure out what I need to remove when I get there and what tools to bring to get the job done. If I only need to remove the windshield and steering wheel that would be best as it is getting cold and the boat is stored outside and working temps will be in the low 30's. :-O
Absolutely any help on these dimensions would help me out a lot. :worthy:
Thanks!!

View the latest post Water tank gauge


Ok Guys,

I have a Xintex Water Tank Display Round 2in Gauge for 1 Fresh Water Tank that is not working. The other holding tank display works. I haven’t pulled the lid cover off of the electrical panel to see if it is receiving power but thought I would ask here first I forgot any of you have replaced or repaired one. While I would prefer not to buy one, if I need to I will. I assume there is a sending unit in the tank I may need to locate and test somehow. Any thoughts out could share, I would certainly appreciate it.

Thanks

View the latest post 3007 Portlight and Forward Hatch Replacements?


Hi,

I''m looking at possibly getting a 1981 3007 Aft Cabin. Some of the plastic portlight windows are cracked / broken. Does anyone know if replacements are available and where I might get them from? I tried e-mailing Carver, but they didn't have much information on boats that old.

Same thing on the forward hatch above the V-Berth. Can the broken window part be replaced, or does it have to be replaced as a whole unit?

Great forum! Lots of useful information and nice folks!

Bruce
