Hi folks, needing to replace a 30A main breaker. The number shown in the manual is 89007-49, but a search turned up nothing. Can anyone provide direction as to where I might locate this? Enjoying the forum, thanks in advance.

View the latest post 18w 24 inch fluroscent fixture front cabin carver 356 aft cabin


Hi. I noticed the second switch in front cabin was not doing anything, until I realized there was a 18w 24 inch fluorescent light over the mirror. I thought bulb was burned out, so got a led version of same tube light. This required I bypass the ballast in the fixture. So I did. But it did not work. So I assumed it was bad led tube I got. I hooked everything back and got a 15w 24 inch fluorescent (could not find a 18W at local home depot). I noticed the light slowly started from one end, but only got to half of the tube. After several tries realized I was not getting anywhere and maybe ballast (fixture is bad). So I ripped it off to buy a replacement. Unfortunately I do not know what to replace with now. I am OK with fluorescent or led, or puck lights, or anything really (not battery powered though). I just need one that I can hook up neutral and hot wire and be done. Can anyone suggest anything? I do not want a fixture with plugs, boxes, etc. just 2 wires that I can hook up to the wire coming from the wall. Also do I get fixture for 110 or 12 watt system?

View the latest post I know it seems like a silly question.....


Ok, got my boat with drain plug removed and don't have one to put in it. What do I need to purchase? Looking from beneath looks like a keyed hole to me. Originally thought it would just be a 3/4" plug.

Any help or photos would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Jeff

View the latest post mariner and thruster battery


I have a 2003 Carver Mariner and I am trying to figure out which battery or batteries power the bow thruster. on my previous boat I had a separate battery in the main salon to provide power. I just got this boat and all the other items are all good on start up except the thruster which sounds like a dead battery. thx in advance RJ

View the latest post Mercruiser 7.4 MPI - 3,200 Max RPM, High Fuel Consumption


Greetings,

I have a 1998 Carver 400 CMY with twin Mercruiser 7.4 MPI engines, MEFI-2. I've had the boat for about 6 months. Starting with the sea trial, it was noted that the Starboard engine would not rev to much more than 3,200 RPM under load. The Port revs freely to about 4,400. Starboard will hit 4,400 in neutral. The engine isn't showing any fault codes, my engine guy is using Rinda's Diacom software. Props, standoff bearings, shafts all check out fine.

Engines were checked out, and the starboard did have one cylinder with low compression. I got a purchase allowance, and both engines have new manifolds and risers, and the starboard has new OEM heads. Compression good all around. 3,200 rpm max on Starboard is still there.

I also note that fuel consumption on the starboard engine is about 30% higher than the port engine. 3,200 is a good cruising speed, and I'd probably leave things along, but the fuel consumption is a problem.

Based on my internet research, it's likely a sensor issue. 3,200 is the 'safe' rpm for limp home mode, and there are a few posts out there with similar symptoms, but often end before a conclusion is published.

My question to the group: anyone heard of similar problems, and a resolution? I think the next step for me is to swap sensors between the engines, and see if the problem moves to Port, thereby identifying the problem sensor.

Thanks!

John Magrann
