- Posted by: USAFRet » July 14th, 2013, 12:40 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hi folks,
I discovered my windows leak while washing the boat this weekend. My wife found the wall fabric in a storage closet wet a few minutes after I was finished. They are narrow, 10ft long by 5' high sliders with metal frames. I'm guessing this was a problem with the previous owners because we found mold on the wall fabric and on some boxes in that closet.
I'll try to get closeup pictures of the tracks this week, but in the interim:
The tracks don't appear to have any silicone sealant around them. They don't look like they have been repaired. They appear to be rotted, but I may be seeing engineered cuts/drains so I don't want to go nuts with sealant until I know.
For permanent repairs - Are there seal kits I can purchase to simply swap out the seals?

View the latest post Rotary speaker switch in master stateroom
- Posted by: Luckyskiff » July 12th, 2013, 7:00 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hi everyone, I've recently purchased a 1997 355 AC and am starting to work on the fix list. In the master stateroom and bridge there is a rotary switch that I think controls stereo speakers. Neither of these switches work. Can anyone tell me what these switches are supposed to do and where I can get replacements? The switch has 6 wires connected to it; 2 green and 4 brown.
Thanks for any help.
Joe

Hello Carver Owners. We currently own a Mainship Sedan Bridge 40. We are in the process of buying a 1999 456, she is beautiful, and so roomy. She has twin 315 Cummins, 13.5 genset, around 400 hours on the engines, and around 850 on the genset. Shes always been in fresh water. We are about to have her surveyed, I was wondering if their are any certain things that we should look for. Thank you for you time.
Jeff

View the latest post Battery charger for the generator
- Posted by: Nplbw » July 6th, 2013, 11:30 am
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
I have a 2005 Carver 411 and the battery charger for the generator does not seem to be getting power to charge the battery. I have searched for a tripped breaker but can't find one. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Neil

- Posted by: iceman3500 » July 2nd, 2013, 10:22 pm
- Forum: Electrical
A couple quick questions:
When we plug our 3207 into shore power, the fridge should automatically kick over to the 120 volt right? If we are not going to be on the boat, do we shut down all the 12 volt with the master switch on the panel? Do we leave the 12 volt master on as well as the switch for the fridge? How about the battery switch? 1, 2, both or off?
Thanks.

View the latest post Attachment(s) New Galley Floor
- Posted by: DanM » July 2nd, 2013, 5:24 pm
- Forum: The Project Center
Admiral wanted a new galley floor that was all hardwood rather than the wood and carpet combo on the stock 396. I used strand woven bamboo which is claimed to be 5 times harder than Oak. I can see why Carver chose to use some carpet. the U shape was a huge nightmare for me. I make no claim to being a high end woodworker but I think it turned out ok. Carver did not fool around in this heavy traffic area as the floor was 1-1/2" thick including subfloor. It is now 1-5/8" but who's counting.
