Hello everyone
Had a great weekend on boat But the sea water for the toilet let's sea creatures in. Little worm like creatures that like to crawl up the inside of the toilet. I was able to keep this from my wife this time. Is there a way to hook up to the fresh water from the hose while in the dock.
Thanks in advance

Hi, new member with 1998 355 twin 7.4L MPI w/Kohler gen.
Only have 2 group 31 DC batteries and small starting battery for generator, don’t think the 31’s are going to be enough for 4 days without dock or generator, where, and how, to locate more batteries in engine room?

i’m currently trying to find the insert for my rub rail and i’m having a hard time finding what i currently have or a replacement. i need about 20ft but so id like to only replace the insert not the rail and insert. and information would be greatly appreciated!

my vessel is a 1998 carver 260se

Hello (Again)! lol

Boat was sitting all winter, and rainwater got into the engine area and filled up my bilges pretty high.

After replacing all three batteries with brand new ones, I was hooking the wires up the same way as I took them off.

The last battery, which had a predominantly black wire with a little orange line in it, started sparking.

It may have been one of the bilges kicking on, but the batteries were turned off. I tried leaving it on to see if I could hear water pumping out.

I hear a click near the battery switches, and am thinking it blew the fuse there. Does anyone know why this would happen?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Everyone,
We just bought a 2004 360 Sport Sedan, pleased so far. I am in need of a swim platform - "shore power cord, cover/door". The current one has been walked on enough that it's cracked and very spongy. Does anyone know where I might get another one? If there is a proper name for the cover or door, please let me know, my searches have produced no results.
Happy to be aboard,
Todd

Hi Fellas,
Our 36 Carver has twin Volvo Penta 740B gas engines. My port tach has stopped working over the winter, I checked the connections and everything looks good. Would anyone know if the tachs are driven from the alternator or the distributer?
Thanks for any help

I hope this message finds you well. I recently acquired a 1989 34' Santego, and I’m in a bit of a bind. Unfortunately, the drain plug wasn’t removed over the winter, and I’m having difficulty locating it. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could share a picture or diagram indicating its location. I’ve managed to remove a significant amount of water using a trash pump, but there’s still a concerning amount left in the bilge and below in the engine area. :help:

Hello brothers
Going down to the boat Saturday and going to be hot I was wondering if I can take the filter out, clean it and put it right back in or does it need to dry? Guessing it would probably need to dry
Thanks

Hello all, i have a 1993 carver 350 aft cabin the previous owner somehow bent the shaft it also had a little damage to the prop. This winter i removed the shaft and props and had them all refinished (New Shaft) .... reinstalled everything dropped the boat in the water .. and again anything over 1200 rpm it wobbles again... a bit frustrating as you can imagine... Any idea what could be causing this ? could it be the struts holding the shaft? if so where can i get some of those ... Thanks in advance...
