I have a 2001 Carver 450 Voyager Pilothouse. Some of raised letter in "Carver" and "Pilothouse" are missing. I want to replace the entire "Carver" and Pilothouise". Does anyone have a good source to order raised lettering?

- Forum: Introduce Yourself!
I have a 2002 410 Sports Sedan with Volvo Penta 8.1L and looking for a dampner plate. It seems its unavailable, the original part number is 3860981 and updated to 3884460 which has been discontinued. I found a post about using a ZF Hurth CF-06-22-336 which crosses over to a Crusader R140018. Has anyone done this and if so any issues??
Thanks for the help!!!

View the latest post Bow Thruster Leaking Oil
- Posted by: PhotoHog » April 30th, 2024, 7:03 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
I have a 2003 444 - CMPY and unfortunately I'm selling it. We had a survey on Sunday and the surveyor reported seeing oil leaking from the motor. The boat is still locked up in our marina and I don't have easy access to it.
Does anyone know what the typical brand of thruster was used on this year and model? And if you've had any experience rebuilding or replacing the motor?
I offered the buyers the option of installing a brand new Side Shift bow thruster but they want a tunnel thruster.
My marina is not the best at communicating and it does not really have a great maintenance / repair crew.
I hope to get access to the boat in the next couple of days any advice would be appreciated.

I have a 2000 Voyager with the TAMD74's and for the past few weekends I cannot get above 1900RPM's. Changed all the filters, (fuel, air, racors) and still having the issue. Also getting a lot of soot from the starboard engine. I have read some post that other having the same issue and it was either air starvation, blocked turbo or turbo boost sensor. I understand how to check the turbo to make sure it's spinning freely but where is the boost sensor located? Thanks!

View the latest post Line Cutters
- Posted by: wsp2 » April 29th, 2024, 2:14 pm
- Forum: General Boating Discussion
I'm curious as to how many folks have line cutters installed? I was looking at various types and it seems Spurs Cutters are the most recommended but also are really expensive. Prop Protectors are a disc-type cutter, and Great Loop members get a discount on those, so I was leaning towards that type
The boat is being hauled out for a bottom job soon so I was thinking about having some line cutters installed at that time.
Boat is a 1995 440 aft cabin with two engines with 2" diameter shafts. The Galveston area seems to have its share of crab pots, but I've also heard the northeast has them even worse. I'd like to avoid hitting them at all, but line cutters seem to be a little bit of extra protection just in case.

- Posted by: Greenhornchris » April 29th, 2024, 10:11 am
- Forum: Introduce Yourself!
So I woke up this morning after not spending a whole lot of time on my boat lately. I replaced the risers on the port engine yesterday then of coarse the boat won't start ! So I saw that the engine wasn't being primed with fuel. I decided to leave it for now , I knew it needed water in the tank so this morning at the Crack of dawn I stupidly decided to put some water in the tank. We'll like an idiot I put it in the fuel tank instead ! The tank was totally full of fuel so about 45 seconds later it came gushing out ! So the question is what do I do now!? Any suggestions would definitely help I don't know what I was thinking this is by far the dumbest thing I've done to myself with this boat ! Thank you for your help....

Hello all,
I have a 2001 CY396 with stiff shifter/throttle controls. Are these supposed to be electrically assisted?
