View the latest post Air Con Replacement on 2005 Carver 33 SS
- Posted by: TurboWarp » April 19th, 2024, 8:58 pm
- Forum: AC/Heat, Plumbing & Sanitation
Salutations to all Carver owners,
I am the original owner of a 2005 33 SS. Air Con unit is still working quite well but I have often wondered how long it can last. Though I have owned this boat for a long time I still don't know how the AC unit is replaced/accessed for replacement.
Anyone know?
Thanks...

We purchased a 1995 Carver 440 about a month ago and are getting it ready for the Great Loop. So much to do and learn I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed! I'm fairly handy but haven't done much with boats yet. Several issues were found during the survey but the boat is in good shape considering it's a 1995. Looking forward to being here and will try to avoid asking really dumb questions.

The only thing different this year than last is the aches and pains are worse. #m Perfectit wax, and it took well. 1994 390, and at 30 years old still shines nicely!

View the latest post Attachment(s) Replacing Head Fan - removing dual drawer slide
- Posted by: theorifice » April 14th, 2024, 8:39 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Our head fan failed last year. It shorts out and trips the breaker. I think access wise, the head fan is behind this drawer. I can't see another way to access the area where the head fan exhaust is.
Normal drawer tabs would have a release. I guess there would be some here too. Any tricks to getting the drawers to release with the limited access?
Are there other ways to replace the head fan? What have people used as replacement?
Thanks

View the latest post Attachment(s) Mounting new Fireboy 375 CU FT fire suppression system
- Posted by: tonyiiiafl » April 14th, 2024, 3:00 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
It was time to replace the original Halon horizontal Fireboy in the engine room on my 1994 390CPMY. However, no more halon, so it is some FK-5-1-12. It is longer and heavier, so there is no way it will fit against the forward bulkhead horizontally. It does say mouth vertically anyway. I have room in front to the port engine (454 Gas) that will allow it to go vertically. However, it would need to go into the outer stringer. I know they are all fiberglass. I was thinking of a 3/4” PT plywood, with 5200 behind it to anchor it against the stringer. It would be mounted right where the documentation number plate is in photo 2. Then use lag bolts to go through the plywood and stringer. Thoughts? Advice?

Hello everyone,
My wife and I are looking at a 2000 Carver 396 Motor Yacht. 1400 hrs on the engine and just short of 3000 on the generator. Anything specific we should look out for or take extra care looking at before we make an offer?
TIA,
Greg
