View the latest post 2000 Carver 404 - All Batteries and DC Equipment Dead - Suspect Battery Charger?
- Posted by: Reardon » May 8th, 2016, 9:03 pm
- Forum: Electrical
Hi Fellow Boaters
Picked my 2000 Carver 404 from her winter storage, Started up fine, took her to her home slip 5 miles away and plugged in the shore power on Friday.
This morning, no power to any of the DC equipment. All batteries dead (2 engine/house and 1 generator).
When the shore power is plugged in, both AC panels show power (Volts and amps) and the equipment on those circuits all seem to have power (AC, micro, etc.) and work But, none of the DC equipment works, batteries are dead.
I am suspecting a battery charger issue. Especially after I read some of the reviews for my charger (not so positive). I have tried to check out all the obvious stuff like main breakers, safety panel breakers, etc that might be switched to off, but all seems in order.
Any thoughts would be appreciated?
Thanks
Rich

Hello, I am purchasing a 2008 Carver 47 MY and I just made my first visit while the boat is on the water. I just noticed that the mosquito screens place in the small windows are actually installed on the outside and are not permenantly attached. They might have a tendancy to detach. Is this a problem and how can it be fix if it is a problem?
Thanks for your help...

We all meet new acquaintances in the boating community thru our travels, some we like and some not so much. I wanted to share a brief story of a friend we made while at the Charleston City Boatyard in Charleston, SC during recent work. My wife referred to him as her little Red Head, but we later learned his true identity was "Cowboy". We first observed him cruising through the boatyard heading back from the direction of the Wando River ringing wet and muddy paws. That's right, Paws! Cowboy was a local resident who we had no idea who he belonged to. The workers in the yard all new him and he delighted in following them until another job required his attention and he would move on often taking frequent dips to refresh his wetness. He didn't really want anything but your friendship and was on the job every day and even at night. One night we drove back to the yard after dinner and when my wife opened her door, their was Cowboy waiting to escort us to our boat. Once completed, he was gone again. We offered him cool water and some treats through the week while he remained watchful as I worked on my boat. The workers told us that he swam across a creek behind the facility every morning for as long as they can remember to come over for the day. They also said that creek was known to have gators and they worried for him, but that never stopped Cowboy from his appointed rounds and only proved his bravery. So if your ever at the City Boatyard, ask for Cowboy, chances are that he will find you first!

New to this forum. Owned my santego 3897dc 1990 for 16 years. 1350 hrs all fresh water until september of last year. Now in st Petersburg.
Yesterday was starting starboard motor and the top blew off my lift muffler. I assume clogged hoses or fuel made its way into the muffler.
anyhow does anyone have the part number for the muffler or know where i canpurchase a new one.
also any chance you think i could re fiberglass the top on.

- Forum: General Boating Discussion
I am getting closer to launch. The weather here has been dismal on most of my days off. I have had only 2 days that I was off work that were good enough for me to get down to the boat to prep for launch. April 23rd I managed to get my shrinkwrap off. Yesterday (May 5th) was sunny and warm enough for me to do the touch up on my bottom paint that needs to be done. There was one area that had standing water under the boat that I could not get to. Hopefully I can do that on Saturday if the rain gods keep the rain away for a couple of days. We have had a lot of rain and there are many areas with standing water still.
I decided to have the boat washed, compounded and waxed. I am hiring this out as I simply do not have the time to do it myself. I have someone scheduled to come out Tuesday (weather permitting) to detail the boat. Once that is done I will be able to launch.
As far as installing the new GPS and VHF I will do that once she is in the water. The entry doors to the salon need new varnish and I can do that either before or after launch. I will do that Saturday weather permitting.
I'm getting closer, won't be long now.

- Posted by: djvj » May 4th, 2016, 10:51 am
- Forum: Electronics & Navigation
I am having a problem figuring out what type of fuse and where to get them. The radar system is a Raytheon R21xx when the arch was taken down for transport they cut the wires and blew the fuses. we had a guy come and look to see why it didn't work after reinstall he says oh, you need sum new fuses. Ok fine. I will get them next time out, well turns out regular fuses will not fit hole. Now I cant find the originals, guy that looked at it said he gave them to me ect., ect.. So, hoping one of yall has the same system or knows what kind or where I can get some. Yes I did call Raytheon guy Mike, said, they don't have any, and to try to match them with the old ones at Radio Shack. Back to same problem. Need help.?!

Curious to know if running the genny while at cruising speed is ok. We do not anchor out and would like to run the genny to keep it in running condition. If I run it at our dock location is it wise to unplug the shore power to put a load on the genny? Could I run it with the boat plugged in?
Thanks for your suggestions.
