View the latest post Santego Aft Camper Enclosure
- Posted by: tamntate » September 8th, 2023, 9:43 am
- Forum: The Project Center
We own a 1989 Carver Santego 380 and see quite a few pictures of them out there with an aft deck camper enclosure that goes from the swim platform toward the cabin and then curves up to the radar arch. We have a canvas person willing to make the enclosure if we can find the frame. Does anyone have one they would like to sell or know where we can have the frame made? Thanks in advance!

- Forum: Electrical
Nice surprise this AM…turned on the FWD lights in the head and the 13W flourcents that are on either side of the mirror, well the one on the right started to dim and smoke got the switch disconnected quickly and it appears the circuit board shorted out. Any ideas of where I can get these fixtures and possibly LED? I would replace both.
THANKS!

Would anyone have a line on where one might get return springs for door latches. We live in Victoria BC Canada. I have been trying to find a place to make them as I cannot find them around here. Also does anyone know the manufacturer logo on one of the picture
Thank you in advance for any and all ideas

View the latest post Attachment(s) 405 Carver any ideas for boarding ladder?
- Posted by: krawdad » September 7th, 2023, 4:26 pm
- Forum: Carver Yachts Forum - Model Discussion
Hello all, I'm looking for ideas to make it easier for the wife to board our boat (405 aft deck). Currently we are using a step ladder but it is not convenient and somewhat dangerous. Our shared dock is only a couple feet wide so I can't build a platform or stairs on the dock without obstructing our neighbour. I would also like to have a portable solution so I can take the steps / ladder with me. Also, we can only bow in on our dock due to limited depth so we can't use the swim platform.
Any ideas anyone? How is everyone else handling this issue? Any input greatly appreciated.
Thanks, KC

Stuffing boxes are dripping, what size packing? Adjusting nut, RH or LH threads? Gave it a halfhearted try but lock nut didn't move. PB Blaster time or is there another way?
Thanks,
Bob

There is a DC breaker for the fridge but it has no effect on the fridge. Turn off shore power and it goes dead.
Thanks,

Bilge pumps run in the On position. Do not run in Auto. Suspected bad float switch so cut the wires to one and tied them together. Still no go.
Any thoughts?
