I have a 1995 Voyager 370, which I purchased last year. Lately I'm getting a whiff of sewage when flushing the toilet. The Vacuflush block diagram for the system shows a charcoal filter inline with the holding tank vent hose, but I have ripped the boat apart and cannot find a filter of any sort. However, there are places in the boat where the vent hose disappears through bulkheads and perhaps I'm missing something. Can anyone tell me where the filter is, or were they ever installed on this boat?
Thanks,
Dave

Hello,
On my 2005 396MY I have the Glendinning power cables that decide to work when they want to. I can go weeks and have not problem and then one day I hit the switch and they do not go in or out. Leave them over night and they work again. The problem I see is that there is no access to them unless I take the aft stateroom night stand apart which I have not done yet. However, before I do that I was told there might be a switch that automatically stops the cable once it retracts (in case you are not manning the switch I guess) and this switch might get stuck and then correct it self some how. Looking for some help on both accessing the cables master and if this switch really exists. Thanks for any input

Need to replace the worn out anchor rope. Looks like 3/4 inch rope to me, any suggestions? I don't want to skimp here so no low quality recommendations just those that meet the need and any additional recommendations are fine.

Would love to go back to a chain windlass system but not this year.

Where can I get a full replacement instrument cluster for a 1989 carver santago

I have a 2002 57' Carver 570. We recently bought it and are living on it here in DC. The boat sat a while so I am going through the old diesel syndrome etc. I had a great idea to top off the water in the tanks, put some chemical in them to kill anything that lived that was bad for my body and then decided to just use the water in the tanks to ensure they worked fine. They worked fine for about a week, water flowed, water heater works great etc., then one day I get yelled at by my lovely wife because the water stopped flowing. I am also learning that everything that goes wrong on the boat somehow I initially caused it. I hooked up the marina water and the water flows fine now. So I figure all is fixed and unhooked to continue using the tank water. It worked for one day and the water stopped flowing again. This time it was my fault because the wife was perfectly fine keeping the water hooked to the pier. My thought is I need to figure out why it stops flowing when its not hooked to shore water and only on tank. No tripped breaker and all switches are on.

Thoughts?

Hello all,
We are new empty nesters taking the downsizing to a new level. Just sold our 3600 sq ft home and bought a 2002 57' Carver to live aboard here in DC. Been on it a week and already have become find where the smell is coming from expert, change out the float to the rear baffle expert etc. Loving it so far. Any advice?

Just bought my 1990 Carver 42 Aft Cabin last week. Took it for a shake down cruise from Duneden, Fl down thru the Okachobee water way then back up the intercoastal to Cocoa Beach. Didn't uncover much that wasn't already known, but did come away with a long list of work items.

Anyway, looking forward to meeting you and learned the ins and outs of the Carver business.

I am wanting to switch all my bridge lighting to the blue lighting rather than the white lights. Does anyone know the best place to buy the blue lights? Also do I just need to by replacement blue bulbs or will need a whole new fixture to switch to blue lighting?

Thanks for any info or advise!

Hi Everyone,

Newbie here, thinking of buying a Carver Santa Cruz 26, I have a read a lot about this boat being tippy.
Is it dangerous. How would it be in the BC west coast waters, would i be safe in this boat. Any information would be gladly accepted.
Thanks in advance

We own a 2005 Carver 41CMY, we have seaweed dinghy davits and a dinghy as a tender. Under power last week the davits bent and i almost lost the tender. The factory swim platform seems low in the water. I am looking to have a hydraulic platform installed, does anyone have experience with this?
