Post False CO alarm?


Boat is '89 3607. Woke up last night in the marina to all 3 co detectors going off displaying around 55 ppm. No engines were running on the boat or around me. Any ideas on what would cause it?

Post Salon Cabinet


All, I'm preparing to replace my salon AC unit, original 1984 Cruisair 16k unit, that's installed inside the wet bar cabinet in my 3697.

Does anyone have experience with taking this cabinet apart to remove the AC unit? I can see screws and angle brackets inside but not enough that it makes sense how the unit could come out....

Any help appreciated.

Post new auto pilot system


Hello Everyone, We have just purchased a 2000 Carver 404, and will upgrading the original chart plotter and are considering adding an auto pilot as well. Would really appreciate advice on which auto pilot to go with. We will be doing all of our boating between Lake Simcoe, and Georgian Bay. We can expect 5 foot waves at times, but usually we are in fairly calm water. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Post Marine Air Systems 'HHH' error code


The air conditioner in my forward stateroom will start in cooling mode for about 5 minutes and then shut itself down while displaying HHH on the control panel that I assume is some kind of error code. Is anyone familiar with this and what I need to do to resolve it?

Thanks in advance!

Post 1994 390CPMY w/Kohler 6.5


Interesting few days. We were on a mooring for a few days and the last day when I started the genset, the contactors would buzz, but not switch in. So I opened the top section of the panel, nd with a rubber tipped implement, pushed the contacts in and all was well. I suspected the contactors. I got a couple from AMAZON that I was directed to from a previous post here. Today I swapped one out, wire by wire, and when I started the Genset, It would start, but nothing at the contactor for switch ove ...

Post When Boating Authorities Don't Protect Us.


I recently traveled the ICW from Charleston, SC to North Myrtle Beach. My trip was after the fourth of July and appeared to be an uneventful trip except for the fact that my generator decided for the 1st time not to start, leaving me without air conditioning for my voyage northward. The run took me 12 hours of leisurely cruising and placed me unplanned about 1.5 hours past sunset before I arrived at my destination. The trip was fine until 10 PM when I passed the SCDNR about 1/4 mile from my dest ...

Post Adding a Second House Battery


I have a total of four batteries, 3 starting and 1 house. It seems I'm asking to much of my new AGM house battery so I might add one more house battery. Is it as simple as securing a second battery properly, wiring + to + and - to- from the current house battery? I have an 80amp charger for the current house battery so is that enough and will it charge both with the simple wiring I laid out above? I have an additional 30amp charger for the starting batteries that I'm sure is isolated to those on ...
