Hi. We recently bought a Carver 35 and would love to find out if anyone has converted any of the seats in cockpit into a refrigerator or put some insulation to use as cooler? It would be a great use of space!

- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hello all. We've recently bought a 98 voyager 45', and upon trying to operate the davit, nothing happened. I made sure the remote was plugged in tightly but it was locked in. Any tips on making this thing work? It is a Marquipt davit but I can't find any more specific info. The only switch on the boat I can find is a fuse reset in the engine room and it did nothing. Previous owner said it worked fine so I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

View the latest post Carver 396 - running speaker wires
- Posted by: bwknight » March 21st, 2016, 10:07 am
- Forum: The Project Center
Hi All,
I was attempting to run new speaker wires from an amp to my read hard deck. Pulled apart every access panel I could find, thought I saw a clear pathway, however there doesn't appear to be any raceway between the wing going up and the hard deck. Looks like the current wiring all enters from underneath and that looks like a real bugger.
Anyone else have issues or suggestions? MY guess is this could be true for many models.
Thanks!

View the latest post AC water pump over running
- Posted by: Wkuhilltopperfan » March 20th, 2016, 11:57 am
- Forum: AC/Heat, Plumbing & Sanitation
When I winterized my boat this winter I accidentally let a air gap into the line, afterwards the AC pump now continues to run weather the heat/AC are running or not. Both Heat and AC both still work normally other than the water pump starts running when the AC breaker is turned on and continues to run until the switch is turned off. I'm guessing a stuck relay, so I took the cover off the relay board and lightly taps each relay hoping to release them if that was the problem ( didn't work) I have also tried to disconnect all power ( 12volt and 110volt ) for a while hoping for a reset (nothing) . Any suggestions would be appreciated and I have a electronics back ground and don't mind installing a external relay if need be.
Thank you

- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hello guys/gals, due to a fuel leek I have been forced to remove the starboard gas tank. I have found that the best / fastest way to remove is through the cabin. I'll be uploading two or three videos, first will be the safe way to cut the cabin walls then the second video (few weeks) will show the repair process. I'm not the best video editor nor narrative person, but I hope my pain will benefit the next person in line. BTW. The couch seat will hide everything, I will also show the best way to reinstall the cutout on video 2 or 3

Anyone know where one can get the side window rubber for a 1998 355 MY/AC by the roll without going to Taylor? Their prices are out there, not to mention their S&H fees.

I have recently purchased a 2000 450 Voyager with neither the guest head ventilation fan, nor the master head ventilation fan working. I have done some cursory searching for the fans locations, but have come up empty. Does anyone know how to get to these fans for repair or replacement?
