On my 1994 390CPMY 454’s, When underway, if I run the house battery, the house battery charges by showing 14.0 +/- volts on The starboard engine gauge at the helm. The port shows 12.7. Now if I switch over, the port shows 14.0=/- and the starboard shows 12.7. When I leave it on both to cruise then BOTH gauges show 14.0 =/- volts. Upon reaching my destination, both batteries are fully charged. is this normal or should both charge. I checked the selector switch unit her stairs and all appears not ...

Hi,

I am overhauling both my engines and need to source for the below:

Engine Family - RCD-6LPASX1
Engine model - 6LPA-STP Diesel Engine
Part Description : Piston Head
Part no: 119775-22013
Qty: 12

Also, wonder if you guys have any thoughts on using OEM parts for this as i suspect its much cheaper but am not sure if worth it.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi all...! So, I have a set of forward head glass shower doors, from my 1988 3607, that I am not going to use. I'm taking out the shower , and leaving it a dry head.

Doing my sea trial on a 1999 Carver 406 Aft Cabin this Saturday. A survey was completed late May and it was EXCELLENT with really no deficiencies. The boat is absolutely clean and in great shape. My only concern is that it has twin Volvo 7.4l Gi (310 HP) engines and wondering if it is seriously underpowered. We will cruising in the Northern Great Lakes home port will be Frankfort or Suttons Bay, Michigan.



I would welcome any experiences with this boat. Would love to have an idea on ideal cru ...

Any help would be appreciated.

I recently purchased a Carver 404 Yacht. The boat is great. But, the headaches... UGH!



The boat has 4 6-Volt "house" batteries. It also has 2 starter batteries fir the engine (and another battery for the generator). When I switch the battery selector to #2, the boat starts fine. However, when I switch the battery selector to #1, I hear "clicking" but the engine will not start.



I replaced all house and the #1 batteries. This did not help. Also, when running on battery power (not shore power), light ...

Hi All,

New owner hear and just finished a reporter on my 3297. I am now in search of anyone with full canvas for a 1989 3297. I also need a replacement hatch for the bridge deck (25”/25”) and the first step on both cockpit ladders. Any ideas are welcome and used parts are good parts I say.

Best,

Jeff

I have a 2002 396 that I recently purchased and, as I understand, hasn't been run very much in the past two years.



I had the engines inspected by Cummins, oil changed, etc. Both starboard and port checked out and ran like monsters.



When I first took her out, I could easily do 3000 rpm and make 20 knots. The throttles were uneven when synced, but that didn't bother me too much at the time. Not to mention, the sticks were only at about 3/4 throttle. I had plenty more room to go.



As a few weeks we ...

I have a 1994 390 CPMY with 454 gas. Plate states WOT is 4400. We are running 22 x 22 props high are the line ticket builder specs. I BARELY hit 4000 under ideal conditions and she is a hungry gal for gas, because I believe teh engines are working too hard. I was going to swap out to a 22 x 21, that should give me 1550/200 more revs to. Put me in the middle of the range. My prop shop said he would rather go to 22 x 20 to allow. Me to hit the 4400.



What are you all running for pros and WOT? I kno ...

New boat to me, the in line bilge pump for the shower drain and the a/c is not working. The water holding box has a float but nothing is pumping out. I have a picture attached of what I think is the pump but have found very little information on it. Is a box trap with float and pump built in an replacement an option? I will be power checking the wiring this weekend to make sure I have power to it and looking for an inline fuse. Currently the mid pump in front of the aft bedroom is also not w ...
