View the latest post Attachment(s) Removing a trash compactor
- Posted by: Hwebb55 » January 22nd, 2024, 1:29 pm
- Forum: The Project Center
I have a 1987 4207 with a built in trash compactor in the galley, under the cabinet next to the fridge that I never use, neither did the previous owner. Not sure if it even works, but it’s nasty looking.
I decided to removed it and put in a nice new wine cooler. The removal did not go well. I can’t see how it’s attached to the floor. No obvious screws/bolts holding it in place. But it’s solid. I ended up cutting it off near the base and removing the top part with the motor and mechanisms…which was unbelievably heavy.
The base is now easily accessible but I still don’t see how it’s attached.
Has anyone removed one of these beasts?
Thanks!

Has anyone painted the hull of their boat above the waterline? If so, can you provide any thoughts about such a project.
i was looking at Interlux Toplac Plus Topside Paint. I would like to know the pros and cons. Thanks.

- Posted by: dlhnova » January 21st, 2024, 8:21 am
- Forum: Carver Yachts Forum - Model Discussion
Greetings! We recently purchased a Carver 396 and would like to add a swim platform extension. We found that Swim Platforms Ultra offers the extension but we have the built in dock box. Has anyone done this? Does the dock box need to come off? Also somewhat concerned that at a slow cruise the swim platform that we have is almost under water. Any information would be helpful, thanks.

Bought a 94 Carver Mariner 330 last spring. Brought it back from lake Ontario to the Hudson River near Albany -
Thinking about installing a bow thruster this spring. Been looking at Side power and Max Power brands, 12 & 24 VDC. Would like to know
If anyone with a similar boat has any experience or opinions on selection and install. Also boat does not have tank sensors for plastic
holding tank and aluminum water tank. Would appreciate ideas on what sensors to use. Windows leak a little but Ill leave that question for another day.
Thanks

What type of wood is used for interior accent/trim? Is it mahogany? It looks too dark for teak.
Thanks.

Winter finally showed up. Last Monday, 5" snow - wind at 35 mph, Friday, 16" snow - wind at 55mph. Today, temp at -2F and will stay at that level till Thursday. Wind chill around -35F. Now the good news, temps back to 15 degrees above normal starting next Monday, so around 37F. But for now, BRRRRRRRR! Go Pack Go. er

- Posted by: Jmchris » January 13th, 2024, 12:30 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hi All, New member and new Carver owner.
On my 2002 Carver 444:
The exterior part of the forward Port shower portlight is missing. I have no idea why someone removed it, but I'm needing a replacement portlight. I've done tons of google searches and come up empty handed. Does anyone know where I can find a proper replacement portlight? I'd really like to keep the exact replacement if I can find one.
On close examination, it looks like some insert that seals against the window is missing. Maybe the entire portlight doesn't need to be replaced.
Thanks in advance for any assist!
Cheers,
Jeff

- Forum: Electronics & Navigation
This may be dumb question. There is a 20pt light wire in the diagram for my 82' monterey. I am rewiring the lights to LED's and am wondering what the 20 pt term means. I assume this is a masthead light.
