View the latest post Toilet upgrade
- Posted by: AaHubb » May 7th, 2018, 10:35 am
- Forum: AC/Heat, Plumbing & Sanitation
Hey all. I am contemplating replacing the toilet in the aft head of my 404. The original Raritan uses a lot of water to flush so the 18gal tank fills quickly. Looking at a Masterflush or maybe a Vacu flush system. Anybody have real world experience doing this kind of upgrade?

View the latest post DC power while engines running
- Posted by: simple interest » May 7th, 2018, 4:12 am
- Forum: Electrical
I have a Carver 406. Took boat out for the first time this season. After about an hour (under power at all times) I noticed the cabin lights getting dim and other DC loads like nav equipment were getting reduced DC power. I have a total of 5 batteries on the boat, one for generator, 2 starting batteries and 2 house batteries. I started the generator which in turn provided AC power to my Master Volt battery charger and the problem went away. Would condition of house batteries cause this issue or should the engine alternators maintain sufficient voltage to keep lights and other DC equipment running?

Hello. Looking to see if anyone has had any luck on purchasing aft deck carpeting for a Carver 366 motor yacht with aft cabin? My boat has the snaps and the carpet guys want a template which I don't have. Any suggestions? Thanks much.

Hi guys
I have my carver in the Uk so need to convert the 230v 50nhz shore power to run 120v 60hz on my boat.
I have 2 transformers to sort the 120v part but im stuck getting an inverter or something to step up the 50hz to 60hz
I can get a huge inverter that weighs 500lb & is the size of a washing machine but that seems about it ??
Any ideas please.
Thanks Peter

View the latest post Vacuflush help and advise
- Posted by: denpooch » May 3rd, 2018, 6:56 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hey folks.
I did the 'shake down' cruise today and she is running great. I have my fingers crossed for the season.
However, two things did come up and for this I could use your guidance.
The most important item is the Vacuflush. It was working when we went out this morning and this afternoon when I went to use it there was no vacuum. When I step on the lever to flush the water pump activates but the vacuum motor does not. I tried switching the main and individual electric head switches on the panel a couple of times but to no avail. The motor seems to have stopped working for some reason. I have heard that these are very reliable systems so I am scratching my head. Why just stop? Mechanical or electrical?
I am thinking that perhaps there is an issue with the DC panel because the stereo decided to stop working this season.
I did notice that early on, however figured I would get around to it as this was lower on the priority list.
Do you think there may be something going on with the panel? Are these switches fuses or fused? I really don't know anything about it.
Any insights and troubleshooting guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

- Posted by: samcrouse » May 3rd, 2018, 6:26 pm
- Forum: AC/Heat, Plumbing & Sanitation
I have a 1999 Carver 504 and want to replace the forward head hoses. Previous owner wrapped some of them in aluminum foil to cover up stench. They are visible to the left just as you enter the engine room compartment (under the stairs).
Anyone have any experience with this or know what is involved? Thanks in advance for any tips or leads.... Sam
