Post '86 Carver Monterey Port Prop


Hey Guys,

Father and I picked up an '86 Monterey from his friend who just passed. The port prop is bent bad (thanks to me allowing dad to operate it first). :banghead: Could use some help finding a replacement since I'm very green with anything bigger that a 20' Spectrum. It's an 18" x 20 DQ. Looking for brass or aluminum. Engines are Mercruiser 350, 5.0L. 270 HP.

Thanks for the help! :usa:

Post Mounting a Vulcan or Rocna Anchor on a 405/406 Carver


I'm in the process of purchasing a very nice 1998 Carver 405. If it passes survey and mechanical I want to replace the current anchor with either a Rocna with the roll bar or the Rocna-Vulcan. The 405/406 has no bowsprit but the Vulcan has quite a different shaped arch shaped shaft and the other model has the roll bar. Given how the anchor locked hatch is configured I wondering if there are issues with mounting either of these types of anchors. Have any other owners installed these?

Thanks

Frank

Post Carbon Monoxide in cabin while running generator


I have had some CO issues while operating the generator while on hook. I have inspected the exhaust hoses for the generator and they are good to go, but my Kidde digital CO detector still picks up moderately high levels in the engine room which eventually sets it off in the cabin. I did contact Kidde and they informed me that their detectors aren't rated for marine service and they can also detect hydrogen sulfide produced from the lead/acid batteries which can also trigger the alarm. So I have ...

Post A/C Removal on Mariner 3297


I was told when I purchased this boat that the system had a slight free leak. After purchasing Freon the compressor tried to kick on and immediately tripped the breaker. A/C guy said the compressor is most likely locked up. So I’m going to install another A/C. My question is how do you get to the old A/C to remove it? It looks like I need to remove the entire dining site.

Post Marine Air A/C blows breaker instantly


On my new-to-me 2001 Carver 530, my master stateroom air conditioning doesn't work. Salon, VIP, and Pilothouse Marine Air units are working great but the breaker to the master unit blows instantly. I've replaced the breaker assuming that had gone bad, but same result. I've checked, cleaned, and reinstalled ground on the unit. I've removed the ducts and reached inside and the cage spins freely. I cleaned all the grounds on the small buss bar in front of the port motor. Same result. Breaker flips ...

Post Carbon monoxide when underway


Hello everyone. I just bought a 2004 36 sport sedan and I absolutely love it. On my 4 hours cruise to my home marina I did realized the carbon monoxide alarms went crazy down in the salon or cabin in general. No body was down there. I was cruising at 20-22 mph not wide open. I had my blowers on at all times and the fwd head vent on. I did not closed the center vent about the dining area as it was advised not to. What did I do wrong or what did I missed. Please shed some lights.



Thank you

Post Kohler 6.5 output issue


Hi all. I have a 93 Kohler 6.5 gas generator that starts and runs great. Issue is not getting house power. I checked with a volt meter power to it's main breaker 123V on both sides for the dual breaker switch. At the command center, however getting 63V on all 4 posts of the on/off switch/circuit breaker.
