View the latest post Water just stopped flowing...
- Posted by: SomeDayCame » August 7th, 2014, 4:23 pm
- Forum: AC/Heat, Plumbing & Sanitation
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?

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.

Thanks for any info or advise!

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?

- Posted by: At_Last » August 5th, 2014, 1:40 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hi All-
I recently acquired a 76 Carver Santa Cruz 28, but for the life of me, I can't seem to locate where the propane tank is stored on her for the galley stove. There's a copper tube fed into the supply of the stove, but I can't see it running fore or aft. Typically, these have a 3 gl bottle - my thought would have been on the starboard side of the engine compartment, but I am not seeing a line or regulator. Any tips would be appreciated!

The original carver decals on my 98 530 Voyager were faded so I am taking them off. Does any one know where to get the foam filled chrome carver decals that are on some of the 2005-2008 models? I think those look really sharp and more up to date...thanks for any info!

Hello everyone I just bought a 1998 Carver 530 Voyager Pilothouse. Would love to meet other 530 or 570 owners. I keep the boat at Grand Lake in Oklahoma. Have a list of stuff I will be updating or repairing. I am sure I will have questions on where to finds things and I would also appreciate any advice that anyone has learned as they have worked on their voyager. Look forward to visiting more in the future.
Thanks!
