Tank is heavy 12ga aluminum. Senders are SS and fasteners are SS.

I tried to attach a photo, but it didn't work. If anyone wants pictures email me with an address and I'll forward them. By the way, lit and specs said that my tank was 185-195 gallon. The build sticker said 165 gallons.

Of course, your results may vary, but this may help some here. I put in a new water maker system and decided that I was only going to put RO water in the tank. Since the tank is 28 years old, I decided it was time to clean it and repair/replace the tank level gauge. Tank is under the bed in...

Dropbox Link Hope this works. I'm not good at this. Californian Company0001.pdf

Shipping Can you get a rough shipping cost to Jacksonville-32210?

We own a Carver Californian 45 that has 4500 hours on it. It's not a dock queen. I often see the argument that the Marshal Californians were the only ones worth owning. I'm not qualified to enter into that discussion, but I do have a copy of the Carver background lit that might explain some of...

I ordered new senders. Interesting process. Info on web siteon how to order correct configuration, but the web is run by engineers and not totally up to date. Purchasing is a nice lady with no computer. Overall it worked and I have two nicesenders for $180 delivered.

Incorrect. A new plant was put together in NC and key people from Hatteras, Viking andother name brands were hired to staff it.

I have a 1990 45. No current, appropriately sized anchor seems to fit correctly. I went with a 65# Mantus that doesn't fit well but it sure does anchor!

The rear tank hose runs horizontally from the edge to the center of the boat. Miserable, and slow to fill. Check your outer vent fitting for insects, mud,,,,, I found that most of mine were plugged by mud daubers. I wetted them down and used a shop vac to suck thedebris out.

Aluminum waste tanks do have a tendency to develop leaks. Ouch. Watch out with the space under the fresh water tank. The fuel tank is under there in it's own sort of box. If you do indeed have waste in that box, you'll have a major job getting it out of there. If you pull the bed and remove...

I also keep small pans of unscented kitty litter in any space I can get into. Indpect frequently and replace when the litter smells.

Our 1990 calif hadall the old boat smells.First I cleaned all the bilges with a mix of bleach and Whisk administered with a one gallon sprayer, several times. Remove panels leading to the hull and spray there as well. Replaced and tightened all head lines. Re-sealed the access port into black...

Centroid Fuel Gauges I got some info from Centroid. Gauges are too old to trouble shoot. Call sales. Simple and to the point.

Water tank sender The sender is under the bed on the strbd side at the head of the bed. There's an access panel to the sender. It's a tight squeeze to remove the screws on the sender but do-able. Also remove a screwed on ledge board for the access panel. You can then pull,flex,bend, etc the...
