Hey all-

I have a 1995 carver Santego 310, with 2 4.3l Volvo penta GS engines.

My port motor is getting warm when I throttle up, just replaced the impeller.

This is my first boat, how do I use a garden hose to flush the raw water system, I think it has some seaweed in there.

Thank you for the help!

Hello,
I have a 1998 carver 405 aft cabin with 454 XLI. I've been trying to locate an engine service manual but haven't had any luck. Does anyone have any links or contacts for me to follow up.
Thanks in advance Tim

We have a '96 370 Voyager with hard wired Co2 detectors, which I replaced last year with Fireboy-Xinex CMD6 units. My question is; Are hard wired Co2 detectors connected in some way to the audible helm alarms? I thought the alarms on the Co2 units were self emitting and that wiring was only for power.



The reason I ask? Today after coming off plane with a tail wind, the helm alarms went off, but there was no loss of oil pressure or overheating and both engines were running fine. After 3-4 minutes ...

Both the forward shower and the aft tub drain very slowly despite all our efforts to remove hair and gunk. Carver manual says not to use caustic drain cleaners to avoid causing damage. Looking for suggestions for what to try next! The water seems to drain into some kind of holding tank and then pumps out from there. We have no idea where that tank is located nor what pump actually pumps it out.



FWIW the idiot mechanic who was supposed to winterize the boat poured RV antifreeze into every tank b ...

I have a 1999 Carver 406. The vacuflush keeps tripping the circuit breaker when I turn it on. I get about three rotations on the bellows and then it trips. I replaced the bellows and duckbills as well as the "O" rings. Has anyone changed from Vacuflush to another system? There are alot of moving parts on Vacuflush. Thanks in advance!!

Hi All,

I have a 1990 Carver Montego 3257 and curious if anyone can walk me through the operation of the toilet that I have (pics attached). There is a dry and flush dial as well as an electric flush push button. The seacock is open but it feels pretty firm when I try to slowly pull the handle up and seeing there is a lot of plastic here I don't want to force anything and have breakage. If anyone can share a basic process I would be very grateful. My last boat was more of just a porta-potty. ...

Has anyone changed their freshwater wash down pump to a lake water one and what is involved?

I just bought my first boat, a 1986 Carver 3207 with twin Crusader 270's. My buddy said I should replace the manifolds and risers. Where can I find the best and cheapest options for the manifolds and risers? Any other recommendations or suggestions?
