Carver put beautiful faucets in my boat.
Has anyone ever found replacement cartridges for the Fontana fixtures?

Not a fun topic I know, but all help greatly appreciated. 1989 Carver 38 Santego. The sewage holding tank does not hold very much waste, it seems like only 4 gallons or so. I can tell when it's getting full because the crown head starts flushing and then kind of filling back up a little like there's pressure in the tank. When I go to pump out it's always a horrible experience. You have to release the waste cap slowly and let the "stuff" which is under tremendous pressure leak out. If you take the cap all the way off it's like a fire hydrant of nasty shooting up into the sky. I've tried blowing into the two vent lines, but can't really tell if they are clogged or not. There was a pungent smell released when the blowing was ceased. Yea so this is no fun and I have no idea what to do. I've pumped out several times over the last couple of years always refilling the tank with clean water and pumping it out again 3 times. I've tried liquid Rid X for RV's. Toilet paper is never flushed. Nothing helps. There is a bit of a sewage smell at times coming from the berth. The tank can't be this small. What can I do??? Thanks!!

I just purchased a 2000 450 Voyager. For a while I will have many questions.
My first question is; where is the shower sump located?
Next; how do you get the damned tv out? I will try and post a picture of the boat later.

Hi everyone! Do any of you know where the AC pump relay is located on an '89 Carver 3807? I have 2 Mermaid AC units each with their own thermostats operating on one AC pump. The berth unit will not start and there is an error code on the digital thermostat that blinks "HPF". The saloon unit does turn on (not digital) but the AC pump will not run. I've verified this with a voltmeter and by placing my hand on the pump. No power, no noise. I replaced the pump and it still does not come on. It's hard finding stuff on this boat. I can't find the windless isolator either. All help greatly appreciated!

We are new owners of a 1987 Carver Montego 3257 and cannot locate the sea strainer for the engines or ac unit. We easily found the generator sea strainer and cleaned it out but cannot locate the other 3. Please help!

Looking if anyone had to replace parts for their Windlass Winch, last weekend had mounting from motor/gearbox to gypsy unit snap off. Could not find a model number on the unit, but know make to be a Lewmar, have searched the web and suspect my boat (1995, Carver 390 CMY) was equipped with and obsolete Lewmar "Concept 1" vertical windlass,
Q1. Was the concept 1 windlass a common unit on Carvers
Q2. any suggestions on were to source a replacement.

I have a '97 Carver 405 and in the aft stateroom there is a round rheostat knob next to the A/C control panel. I have no idea what it does. Any ideas? Thanks.

I am adding an accumulator tank to stop the surge and hot cold cycling, and i was wondering what size plumbing they used and if i need to use seatech fittings or if i can use some from lowes or home depot?

also, has anyone added a watermaker and what is the best place to install it?

my husband and I purchased a 1999 Carver 356. I feel like I'm pretty boat smart but this has me stumped. He is out of the country this summer and I decided to do some good spring cleaning. While cleaning the aft air conditioning ventsp I noticed the holding tank is full. Maybe 2 to 3 inches from the top. This explains A LOT since this is not our first Carver and our old Carver only had 1 tank that we didn't pump out more than about once a month. This boat is always full of Poo! I went back to the pump out station and pumped both tanks. I stopped several times to get the system to build up more suction but it seems like it is empty. When I go look however it is far from empty! I looked all through the mounds of paperwork that came in the Carver "suitcase" but all of the diagrams and schematics are on the 355 model and don't look anything like our layout. I was thinking of reasons this might happen and all I can come up with is thAt maybe the vent is blocked. Wouldn't the vent need to be open to suck out the poo? Doesn't air have to replace the contents? I looked for the air vent for the tank but I'm not sure which one it is? I tried to look for the air vent by following it from the tank but wow that space is small. The holding tank is literally an inch from the air return Everything else works fine with the sanatation system. Thanks for any thoughts. It's a gross thought to have so much crap in the boat that I can't get rid of!

I have a Bendix washer/dryer combo unit that does not seem to be getting any power. The circut breaker is on. Are there additional fuses some where?
