Radiant is a 1991 2-cabin 48’ (4809) sundeck model (not cpmy). Just aft of the stairs down from the salon to the aft cabin and across from the day head is a cabinet. There is a vent that leads to an exhaust blower & hose that terminates in the engine room. For the life of me I can’t imagine...

Never mind. I found a post from last December that covered this issue

Anyone have experience with Citi Marine’s CTM 16 air conditioning units?

It’s time to research a replacement for my old Raritan 1700 series, 20 gal, hot water tank. Just trying to be proactive. The Raritan has a glass lined steel tank, while most of the others (Kuuma, Isotemp, Seaward) all have aluminum tanks. The Raritan has a 1250 watt element while some of...

Still a work in process. I will post pics when complete. Still need to paint the black aluminum plate.

Californian Logo Well, yesterday I pulled off the backing plate and to my surprise, it’s not plastic. It’s actually aluminum and the logo is cast aluminum. Rather than replace it, I’m going to sand and re-paint the plate. I have already sanded the face of the letters back to a smooth finish...

My Carver Californian 4809 is a 1991 ( not a CPMY). Hull #513. She was built in NC in June of that year. Hope that helps. I’d wager yours was built in NC too.

Anyone know where I might obtain new Californian raised letter Logo’s?

Well, I found the wiring schematic for the GE SPACESAVER. As suspected the internal green wire was in fact the neutral to ground strap. I removed it from the case ground and taped it off. Of course, the ground from the supply is still connected to the case ground. Radiant no longer trips...

Thx Dave. Access is a PITA, but not impossible. There is a green wire leading from the machine’s internal wire conduit, terminated at the frame/case ground where it meets with the ground from the incoming electrical supply. I’m thinking this wire leads to the neutral and is actually the...

Radiant is a 1991 48-foot Carver Californian 4809. 2-cabin motor yacht. We have the original GE SpaceSaver, stacked washer/dryer. Works great although the belts squeak a bit. I had my marina test my shore power connection with an ELCI device, which we immediately failed. I engaged a marine...

I have the original GE Spacesaver washer/dryer stack circa 1991. Still works great although the belts squeak a bit. But my concern is the manual says the neutral is strapped to ground on these units. We are tripping an ELCI as a result. Has anyone been successful eliminating the neutral to...

Tell me more. This would be preferred. I’m thinking your galley might be identical in layout to mine. Our’s is a 48 MY which I believe is the same as yours minus the cockpit.

Thx rwidman. You nailed it. That is exactly what I was looking for.

240vac split phase for HOB Ok. I’m not an electrician, and I know enough to be dangerous here. I’m going to replace my old (1991) Origo 4-burner radiant HOB with a new induction 4-burner unit. But, I have to pull a 240vac line to the galley and put a 2-pole 30-amp breaker in the panel. Yes...

All righty then. I just flushed a couple of Tbls of Noflex in each head. Will do so again tomorrow to make sure it made it makes it past the vacuflush tank. Will see if my dock neighbors are happy. WE get pumped out every Wednesday and we use only fresh water. I’m thinking the Noflex...

So, you prefer a chemical treatment instead? What are the cons to vent filters?

Searching for an in-line filter on my holding tank vent. The two holding tanks are on either side of the aft-cabin bed. The only access that I’ve found to the tanks matches up with the inspection port. So, I can’t see any of the hose connections let alone an in-line filter. I did find the...

I have been searching on-line with no success. Dometic doesn’t seem to offer more than a three burner. I’ve looked at both marine and RV sources but no bueno. I’m going to try out an induction unit to see if it works with the Admiral’s cookware. That might be the ultimate answer.

Looking to replace/update the 110v Origo 4-burner glass top cooktop on Radiant, our 48’ 1991 Carver Californian. Anyone done this? I see that Origo doesn’t exist anymore so a drop-in replacement doesn’t look promising. Trying not to replace our solid surface countertops.

I’m trying to replace a broken return spring for the door handle to the aft cabin head. I’ve totally dismantled the offending handle set looking for markings as to who the mfg was. No luck. Any ideas as to who made these? Attaching a pic of the inside of another set where the spring is not...

Streff. How did you access the conduit on the port side? From the speaker hole?

Radiant is a 1991 Carver Californian 4809, two stateroom model. I desire to install a backup camera at the trailing edge of the aft-deck hardtop. Has anyone successfully run wiring thru that hardtop? I did locate a wire channel underneath the rear bench seat in the fly bridge, but it is darn...

Radiant is a 1991 Carver Californian 48ft MY. Her aft deck roof will be home to our new 11 ft dinghy. The dinghy is a 115lb aluminum job with an 85lb Tohatsu 9.8 4stroke. I’m about to mount some Weaver dinghy chocks and was wondering what the core is comprised of. If wood, then I will use...

I tried the Arlo today. Wireless, battery powered. Fit for outdoors. Connects to an onboard router thru a hub. I think it will also connect via a Google Home or Alexa device. Shows image on the app on your phone or tablet. Doesn’t need internet. Amy gripe is that it can’t do reverse image...
