Hi - just took delivery of a 2002 Carver 450 Voyager and moved her from Anacortes to Tacoma under spectacular blue skies. Took about 7-8 hrs and everything ran fine. Now I have a long list of survey items to rectify for insurance (and myself!). Boat was very dirty inside and out so stripping everything out and starting the clean up. Thruster gear case full of water is one of the first items on the list, minor drip on a Tides shaft seal, fractured davit weld, exhaust elbow replacement and typical safety items. The "to-do" list is a mile long and at this point I'm just trying to get organized so that I have a realistic plan to get this boat back in shape.

Please does anyone need a Westerbeke 3.0kw Marine Generator

My 2000 396 Aft Cabin has three AC units. Two of the three work fine but the salon AC runs and blows air but it is not cold. Any suggestions?

Ok, I have a 356, but I guess it could happen to any model. My main salon door, maybe a 1/4” thick plexiglass, has about an 8” crack at the bottom running upwards. Not causing any issues except the cosmetic appearance. How could this have happened? Will it continue to grow over time ans more importantly, where in the world would I find a replacement door? It’s not just a flat piece of plexiglass, but is shaped like an upside down “L”

Also, the door is physically hard to slide open and shut. A good shot of WD-40 does help for a couple of weeks, but what would be a better lubricant for long term use?

My Norcold DE-461 refrigerator/freezer conked out on my 2001 Santego 380. That unit is out of production as is its replacement. It was a 12V/120V system. I found a 12vdc/120vac Vitrifrio that might fit. But I ave also seen some straight 12vdc untis that might fit and are sinificantly less expensive. Any thoughts on going with a 12vdc system only. Here is my thinking about only having 12dc.
-When I am on shore power at the dock the battery charger will keep the batteries up
-When I wm cruising without gen running, engine altenator will keep the batteries up
-When I am cruising or at anchor with the gen running, the battery charger will keep the batteries up
Is it worth the extra expense for the 12vdc/120vac refrigerator?

Where is the the Raymarine DSM 300 located on my 2006-2007 - 56 Voyager. I found the SeaTalk switch unit behind the Pilothouse E120 display but no sign of the DSM 300.
Does anyone know where it is located?

I just hauled out our 3807, mostly due to a leaking, original (1988) speedometer mechanism. It fit thru a 2-1/4” hole in the hull. Hasn’t worked in years. My thoughts were putting an updated transducer in there for more modern electronics might be cheaper than labor to re-fiberglass the hole and open me up to upgrade the electronics. Turns out to be true. Installer just enlarges existing hole by 5/8” and pops it in. Here’s the rub. He’s a bit gun shy. He says if I hit something it could shift it and leak. It’s flush with the bottom of the hull and sealed under the flange and threads through the hull with 3M 5200. I doubt you could move it if you try and if it does move, then the boat hit something that probably totaled it anyway. Don’t most larger inboard boats use thru hulls transducers? Doesn’t make sense to me, but I am old enough to know there’s always opportunity learn something new. I asked him to install it anyway and if that happens then it’s on me. I may learn the hard way. Thoughts?

Hello everyone!

Can anyone tell me where i can find the stock 600w inverter? I don't see a breaker for it on the panel so i'm not even sure there's one installed.

thanks!

I have a 97 405 that was dry docked open to the elements for nearly 5 years. The caulking between the helm and the flybridge "floor" shrunk allowing water penetration, resulting in a notably "soft" 2t x 2ft area of the fiberglass floor left of the helm station.

My question is, what would be the best way to repair this? From the top side by cutting the 2x2 section out of the fiberglass, then repairing the area and replacing glass and gel coat, or should we plan to go in from the bottom by taking out the headliner section just above the sofa in the salon? There is no evidence of water penetration making it to the interior, and the headliner is in great shape. My goal is to be the least destructive as possible.
