I rarely use my Air conditioner on my yacht but am looking at getting it working again.
As the boat is almost 20 years old now would it make more sense jut to replace it, or is there a an upgrade aviable.
There are 3 units now but I would only do the main stateroom and salon.
Currently the unit runs but the breaker trips as soon as the compressor start ups.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

I have owned my 2005 530 Voyager Yolo II for almost 10 years now.
We are active cruisers on the Pacific coast of Canada and also members of False Creek and Royal Vancouver yacht clubs.
Many systems have been upgraded. The Navigation to Garmin withi integrated 3 zone stereo. House battery to 1500va Lithium iron and larger alternators and inverter. Changes to the charging setup and recently I also added a solar sytem.
I do much of the work myself, consider it therapy.

Hi I am thankful to stumble upon this site as I am a new owner of a 1978 voyager cutter 33.5 ft boat. I am looking for understanding of the following questions.
1. Manual says it has 2 200 gallon stansless steal tanks? Is that 100 x 2 for 200 total capacity or two two hundred tankes for a total of 400 g? How far can I travel an an easy go speed?
2. How many people fit on the boat when checked by coastguard?
3. Are there two piglet houses? How does this work?
Thanks in advance.

Hello! I've got an 85 3227...no genset...2000w inverter...currently six (06) 100ah lead acid deep cycle house bank and two (02) 12v lead acid starting batteries all located between the engines (to the forward bulkhead). Couple of questions: 1. Does anyone have experience with using a Xantrex 468 inverter/charger with lifepo4's? I saw another thread where Xantrex said that using their AGM setting would work fine for Lifepo4's...but I'd like to hear from someone with direct knowledge.

2. Does anyone have the measurement of the area between the engines (length and width)? I'm 3 hours from my boat and won't see her for at least a couple more weeks. I'm looking at installing two (02) 12v 300ah Lifepo4's in place of the current lead acids...will double my capacity while cutting the weight in half-ish...but can't find my bilge measurements.

3. Currently have 2 ACRS...should I go with DC to DC charger instead? Not 100% up on this whole concept...still researching.

4. What's a good voltage regulator for the alternator?

Thanks in advance!!

In the interest of saving some fellow boater a trip "down a rabbit hole", I offer. My 1995 Santego 5.7 TBI had overheating problems, especially at idle in long no wake zones. After impellers (several), one new / rebuilt, raw water pump, professional heat exchanger cleaning, new thermostats - I finally got serious about pulling some hoses and troubleshooting. It appeared that the engine coolant circulating pump was weak (no noise, no leaks). So I hustled on down to Carquest and picked up a replacement for about $50 and a couple gallons of antifreeze. Port engine now rock steady at 170*. Starboard replacement pump is now in hand and going in ASAP. I hope this is helpful to somebody.

Is there a drawing showing what the removal floor sections on a 89' 3807 are for. Trying to find the shower drain pump.

Since buying our boat we have had an ongoing issue with the vinyl wallcovering in the master stateroom separating where it meets the door frame. See pics.

Does anyone have a fuel consumption chart for the 560 Voyager with Volvo D12-675hp engines ?

Hey guys I've got a 89 carver 3207 and over the last few months I've put I don't know how many hours and how much money trying to restore the boat and really get the engines in order mechanically and I've done that for the most part , I've got just a few things left til she's really turn key. I posted a few days ago about the starter for the port side engine I replaced but when I start the boat there is a terrible noise that is the fly wheel hitting the tip of the ring on the end of the starter. The brand new starter I put in I matched at a boat parts store with the old one we matched them up side by side on the table and I can't for the life of me figure out how this is happening, I took it out and put it in there twice just to be sure. The new starter has been damaged after inspection. Does anyone have any ideas I'm lost on this one.
