View the latest post Attachment(s) Carver 396 solon vents
- Posted by: paulr » March 16th, 2025, 10:08 am
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
On my 2001 396 there are 3 ceiling vents on both sides of the solon ceiling. You can actually see light through one of them.
I assume they should be open to let out heat and moisture. Is my assumption correct?

- Forum: Electrical
I just purchased a 2002 Carver 570 Voyager. It has all of the original electronics, so I am upgrading everything with all new Garmin products and doing the work myself. I’m trying to figure out the best way to get wires from the console under the steering wheel in the pilot house to the overhead compartment where the screens will go. I would appreciate any advice.

Can any of y’all help direct me to a source to buy some new covers for the recessed lights in my 97 325?
Since Carver closed, I can no longer call Brett!
Thanks in advance,
Scott

View the latest post Attachment(s) Forward Cleats
- Posted by: denpooch » March 14th, 2025, 11:12 am
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hello Mateys. I have a 2005 Mariner and was able to secure a town mooring spot. I will be utilizing this for day trips and occasional overnighters. When I'm 'on the hook' I fasten to the centerline cleat which I know has a proper backing plate below deck. My concern with the port/starboard forward cleats to which the pennant lines attach at the mooring is that they are fully reinforced below deck. I am not able to visualize from the anchor locker. I have included an image and am interested in your feedback. Thanks.

- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Anyone have experience with the BPS Pro Series Agm? BPS had a hella sale a few days ago and after their 30% sale price plus an additional 10% off and an extra $20 for re opening my credit card with them, I picked up 3 of their grp 31’s at $160 ea. And no core charge! They’re 110ah and made by UPG and will only be used for house loads of two fridges, all led lights, and some water/vacuflush use on the hook…I’m guessing 5ah or less. I have 60 days to return if I hear solid evidence not to use them. Otherwise, they’re essentially $200 cheaper than the Sam’s Duracell's. Thoughts? Experience?

- Posted by: sdsurf » March 13th, 2025, 9:03 am
- Forum: General Boating Discussion
Good Morning
On my '77 Carver 2276 Camper, I have the engine venting at the stern of the boat. The hose is still intact on the port side for make up air but missing on the starboard side for the blower. Is there any particular place this should run or length? It is about 3' from the vent to the bottom of the hull with the manifolds close to the transom

- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Good afternoon. I recently purchased a 1986 3207 Aft Cabin.
I am looking to replace the switch covers plates as they are oxidized and unreadable. Is there any after market plates or suggestions on improving what I have? All panel are hard to read the switch labels.
Thank you
I have circled the switch plates I am referring to.

- Posted by: Cunnsco » March 9th, 2025, 6:14 pm
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Hiya, friends! Problem with my TB350 5.7
I’m getting a crank no start issues. The fuel pump has no power to it. The reset button on does have 12v to both terminals when the key is on. My assumption is a bad relay, at least that’s what I’m hoping for, however, I can’t find any relays to save my life!
I really wish I could find a full set of schematics too.
I’ve been googling all day to no avail.
Does anyone know if I am on the right track, and if so, can tell me where this bloody relay may be!
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Scott

I am trying to determine which type of steering system the boat has. Does anyone have the specs for the 1999 356 Aft Cabin for Steering? Is it hydraulic or mechanical? Thanks.
