How do you remove it. Ours is not working

Hello
I just wanted to introduce myself to the community. I have bought a 2004 Carver 360 Mariner. Currently under shrink-wrap on the St Lawrence seaway and hoping to sail it to its home on the Georgian bay in a few weeks. May ask for tips etc. Thanks Gemini K

Over the years, the steering on our 1984 3207 has been getting harder and harder to turn the wheel. I'm pretty good at mechanical stuff - I replaced both engines with GT40 marine engines several years ago - but I'm not sure where to start with the steering issue. I added air to the reservoir last year, which helped a little, but now it's worse than before. I've done a search on this site, but haven't yet found a thread that helps me diagnose and repair the steering. Our boat has an upper helm as well as one in the salon. Can someone point me towards a solution for the hard steering?

I have a bad ignition and several other switches & guages that are failing. I plan to replace all of them with better quality switches & guages that are backlit and built to last . I like rocker switches but good quality toggles have some nostalgia value . Just looking for advice from anyone that has done this . The wiring harnesses look good but the additions and changes over the years are a mess. Why do mfg not give you a serivice loop so you have room on the harness to actully work on it. I will go back to the main connectors on the harness and create one that covers everything and leaves some slack .

I am thiking that I will just get a local machine shop to cut new backpanels -

1. Any suggestions on material ? Stainless , Starboard or other ?
2. Are the ignitiion switches just universal 3 position marine ?
3. Any reccomendations on shifters & throttles ?
4. Electrical connection suggestions - Crimp on switches Amphenol on harnesses?

Thanks so much ! So far I am loving this boat !

The discussion about the generator not producing power got me thinking about how many of you use a checklist for the regular operation of the boat. In my Navy days we had a checklist for everything, including flushing the toilet. For each of the boats I've owned over the years I've put together a checklist for day to day operation. This is the one I currently follow for Alanna Mo Cree:

I am looking for any insights into how to disassemble the night table/stand in the aft cabin of a 1997 Carver 355.

I am trying to gain access to the starboard rudder shaft stuffing box, which would be accessible, if the night table can be removed and subsequently re-installed.

If there is an alternative way to access the starboard rudder shaft stuffing box, I would also appreciate any insights into how best to do this without cutting through the wall of the aft head.

Thanks in advance!

I have a 1999 356 aft cabin. On the outside deck there is a
Cabinet that the ice machine use to be in. I would like to remove the cabinet. Some please explain to me how that cabinet comes out?

The old gal goes into the water Tuesday.

I am switching over to all AGM batteries. I just do not want to keep checking battery water. I have a 4D AGM odyssey for starting, 2 Interstate AGM 6V GC batteries (in series) for house, and a group 24 Odyssey battery for Genset (Kohler with Honda 2-cylinder engine).

To make this work so all batteries are not jammed in there together, I need to move the Gen Set battery. I was thinking of moving it to either under the dinette set where the water heater and forward A/C is. Should I be concerned of fumes building here for a battery explosion?

Or to the forward bilge (in the galley) of my 390CPMY. Yes, I would run new heavier cables to the Gen Set to offset the distance. Only other thing I thought of was putting the 4D under the aft bed with the A/C and that in my opinion is NOT a good idea as to get it would be hard in a situation, and too much "out of site/Out of mind."

Thanks as always!

May the fourth be with you...... ....have a great season......
