Post Carver 380 Antenna


Hello all

Sorry I did not see a search option so I hope this is not a repeat.



I am looking for a serrated nut looking thing that goes to my antenna.

There are 2 of them to allow for the antenna to swivel however I lost one of them.



My friends Carver has the same type of unit however I have searched high and low for this thing and have even been in contact with Marquis Carver with no results.



If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

Post Generator and Bridge Oulets


The Captain and I are in the process of getting our new to us Carver 410 from Savannah to Apalachicola FL. It has been an incredible trip with the exception of a couple of days of bad weather. So far the boat has been running great but last night while on the hook the generator wouldn't stay running. Its starts right up but cuts off after about 30 seconds. We checked the filters and oil and everything looks good.

The other issue is the DC outlets and fridge on the bridge. We have the DC outlet b ...

Post Decode HIN 355 Aft


Hello

I was looking at my paperwork on my new to me '95 355 Aft Cabin and was wondering if anyone could help decode my HIN for me. I had similar info for my last boat, it was just interesting to know where it was built and when etc...



I've searched around and think I understand it, but would like another pair of eyes on it.



My HIN is CDRP0001F495



CDR - Carver Boats

PO - I'm assuming that's the model 355 Aft?

001 - Hull Number 1?

F - Started build June?

4 - Day?

95 - Model year 1995



Does that look clo ...

Post Water under engines trapped by stringers Carver 530


Hi
I own a 98 Carver 530, and this winter noticed water trapped under the engines up against the stringer. The bilge only drains the center of the boat, so I was looking for a drain tube from under the engines to the center cavity so the water could be removed.
My mechanic is also stumped, so if someone could help with where such a drain tube is located, I would be very appreciative.

Thank you
Raj :approve:

Post Replacing VHF antenna, uses RG5 cable?


We need to replace out VHF antenna which is mounted on the arch of our 2008 Mariner. We purchased a new one from West Marine and went to install it and had problems with the connections. Looks like they used RG5 cable and the new antenna uses RG8. Is there any way to connect them or do we have to run the RG8 cable back to the radio which will require fishing the new wire through the arch and much of the superstructure. All of the current wires in the arch seem to be bundled together so we cannot ...

Post Windlass Options - Lewmar good/bad?


My old windlass was an old model Maxwell RC8, but it's becoming apparent that no matter which windlass I pickup, I'm going to have to fill and re-drill holes in the deck, and it doesn't appear that any windlass is going to fully cover all of my former holes. I'm looking at the Maxwell RC8, the RC10, and Lewmar options. (willing to hear other suggestions)



Lewmar has quite a bit of negative reviews on Amazon and otherwise. Maxwell windlasses seem more reliable, but I shouldn't need the greatest ...

Post Carver 406 fresh water indicator?


Hello,
Must be blind in one eye and can’t see so good out of the other!

Thanks for help.
