Hi Gang,

I've replaced the aft head sink faucet successfully with a much more functional Home Depot faucet.

However, the forward head sink faucet needs to be very short so that the mirror door can swing open. Fewer options.

So............I'd like to just replace the cartridge on that faucet. Does anyone know the manufacturer or even better, the correct cartridge to replace?

Thanks for any help!

Safe Journeys, Greg

I am trying to find a carver 1883 3607 aft cabin Manuel ? Anybody have a suggestion ?

Hi guys. Anyone come up with a solution for water slap while at anchor? Gezzzzzzz, can’t sleep. Thanks!

Hello,

Old problem is back...

Looking for some assistance re replacing my water supply lines from the faucet in the head to the water pump. One of the lines has a crack in it and is leaking so needs to be replaced. Can't reach the lines under the front berth (platform bed lies on is glued down) looking for other ideas.
I can reach the main bilge areas and the pump easily, just not forward of the bulkhead separating the cabin from the birth.

Any suggestions are most appreciated!

Thanks in advance

NOTE: I also posted this in General Maintenance, thought it might better belong here in this category...

Does anyone have any suggestions on websites or other places to replace the stove/oven in my 1988 3607 aft cabin. All three burners were causing electrical shortages and it was old so we removed it, but are now looking to replace it. Thank you in advance.

Sorry wrong forum I have cut and paste it into the proper forum

I installed a new Kuuma 11 gal hot water heater last summer on my 2000 396 Aft cabin. This weekend I returned to the boat and the water from the hot water tank is discolored and smells like rotten eggs. What went wrong and how do I fix it?

Thanks for your suggestions and comments.

I was digging into another issue on the boat today and discovered the shower sump isn’t working.

What’s the best way to troubleshoot the switch and pump? I’m assuming drain the water out of the box and then activate the float switch with the breaker on and a multimeter on the wires going to the pump to see if the switch is supplying 12v? If yes, then pump is bad, if no, then switch is bad. If the switch is bad, then direct wire the pump to make sure the switch and pump haven’t both gone bad? Do I have that all right?

Does anyone know how to activate these “automatic” Rule switches that are a fully enclosed unit? The standard manual float switches are obvious but I can’t tell by looking at this one. Is there some sort of float inside that I can lift up by sticking something in there through the openings in the side? I googled it and watched a couple product videos from Rule but no luck.

Hi all,

I went down to the boat today to find a pretty major leak coming from the toilet on our 325. Any standing water had drained down the shower drain, but the bath mat in there was completely saturated and there was quite a lot of water on the floor in the head.

I had noticed recently that the level in the black water tank seemed to be increasing while the boat was at the dock and the toilet wasn’t being used, but I thought maybe it was just due to the boat rocking back and forth or something.

As far as I can tell, the water pump module on the toilet is broken, or there is some sort of valve in the pump that is stuck open, because water was freely flowing up the flush hose and into the bowl.

The leak that made is way unto the head floor was due to the water coming up the flush hose and backing up into the line from the deodorant reservoir, which eventually overflowed and leaked out onto the floor.

In the process of checking all this out, I also found out our shower sump stopped working (going to post another thread on that)

Here’s a picture of the toilet (Crown model, original from 1996). Unfortunately I don’t have the manual, but I think it’s best I just replace the whole thing anyway.



If you have any suggestions for a simple fix, I’m all ears.

Here is where I need help. In choosing a new toilet, there are two types: one which is designed to be connected to a pressurized fresh water system, and the other which has a water pump to draw water from a raw water intake. When I went into the engine compartment to try to turn off the water, I was expecting just a raw water seacock. The owners manual said that all toilets, regardless of model, were fed by a raw seawater intake. However, when I dug in, that’s not what I found. It seems like the PO plumbed the toilet intake to the fresh water system on the boat, but did it upstream of the water pump, so it is essentially fresh water, but unpressurized. Am I seeing this correctly? Yellow arrows are pointing to the toilet intake hose.



If I’m correct and that is how it is plumbed, then I think I’ll need to use the style of toilet that has a pump and is designed for a raw water intake. It was very obvious that the toilet is not connected to the pressurized water system based on the slow drip of a leak, and because turning the water pump off and draining the water in the lines going to the sinks did not change the flow coming through the toilet flush line at all. I did turn off the red valve upstream of the water pump and toilet intake and that stopped the flow at the toilet.

Thanks so much for any guidance you can provide.
