View the latest post Attachment(s) Windshield Gasket
- Posted by: mjmason1 » October 18th, 2023, 7:31 pm
- Forum: Boat Parts For Sale
I have 140' of windshield gasket for the Voyager 450. That model has a windshield that is from Trend Marine in the UK. It was very difficult getting the gasket. I am willing to sell it at a loss. I paid $1.44/ft. I am selling it for $1.00/ft plus shipping.

Looked many places to no avail. Second hand boat supply stores also.
The small sliver vent cap popped off..rubbing against a fender.
Pictures attached.
Any leads where I can buy one or perhaps a reader here has one or 2 I can buy.
Pictures attached showing what is missing and what the item is.
Enjoy your day!

View the latest post 1987 Carver 3697 filler neck and overheat
- Posted by: carver3697'87 » October 14th, 2023, 8:23 am
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Hello all! I have had a good season with the boat and took it for one last ride during the week. On the way back from the restaurant the port engine overheated. Upon returning and inspecting I found both plastic manifold elbow/drains had blown out. I scraped out the remaining plastic threads and installed new elbows. I noticed when I went to fill the cooling system the cap was loose and the brass housing was bent. A lot of pressure built up for sure. The filler cap housing is round on one side for the hose, then the cap in the center, then a flat square surface with four bolts. I need to know where to source this part! Also, how much coolant should the boat take, and yes I need to find out why it over heated, and it does it really fast when it does.. maybe head gasket, maybe a stuck thermostat..that engine had been getting harder to start possibly unrelated. what causes those elbows to both blow out of the manifolds, they probably melted from the heat first. Thanks1

- Posted by: Pcmcguire » October 13th, 2023, 11:38 am
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Need some help. Put a new 8.1 engine in my boat. We have replaced about every sensor and it still does not run right. We are thinking they sent us a 420hp engine instead of a 375hp. I know its a long shot but does anyone have a 8.1 420hp ECU I could borrow to throw on this engine to test it? Located in NC.
Thanks
Pat

- Posted by: Cooler » October 12th, 2023, 7:52 am
- Forum: Boating & Cruising Lifesyle
Hello All! Anyone interested in having a CYO meet & greet in Ft Lauderdale in late February? Covid is behind us so we can now meet in person. A group meeting would be a lot of fun, and get us cold weather boaters to some warm weather.
Aside from that, the Admiral and I just booked a cruise with a fantastic price. Princess cruise lines, offer 1468503, departing Ft L on March 3. If you book a cruise, let me know. Happy off-season to everybody. Cooler is on the hard since 10AM, Oct. 11.

View the latest post Battery care for the winter - 2000 396 aft cabin
- Posted by: tgebler » October 10th, 2023, 10:56 am
- Forum: Electrical
My boat will be in the water this winter in Pittsburgh. It has twin V8 Mercruiser engines. There will be power to the boat.
I am looking for advice about the batteries. Do I remove them, leave them in the boat with the battery chargers on, leave them in but disconnected or some other option?
Thanks for your input.
