Post Carver C37 Minimum Power


A friend of mine is considering a Carver C37. I believe it is a 2015. Boat is equipped with 5.7L 300hp Mercruisers. Is this enough for this boat? Sounds maybe just adequate to me however hull design can make a big difference. Pretty sure this is the one. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2015-ca ... 7-8462219/

Post -1987 Carver 4207 dual helm steering question


Hi fellow Carver's!
1987 Carver 4207 with dual helms.
Steering question... please see the picture.
1) Does the engine need to run to properly run the steering?
2) Is filling/topping off the fluid done here in the upper helm or elsewhere?
3) What kind of fluid?
4) Is that all there is to it,just top it off here above the wheel or do I need to go down to the rudders under the aft cabin bed?
Thanks in advance!![image][/image]

Post 1991 Original Battery Setup (33 Aft Cabin)


I got this boat last fall and have been slowly tackeling the many need projects and have not had a chance to get around to the batteries. This past weekend the Generator wouldn't start or turn over so the first thing I will check when I get back to it is the battery. That being said I guess I will tackley this next.



Does anyone know what the original setup was from the factory? How many batteries and what was wired to what. I hoping someone knows to save me the time of chasing wires and with ...

Post Carver 466 - Davit Madness......


Hi Team Carver,

Hope everyone's on an even keel this morning (or leaning in that direction). Purchased my '01 466 at the end of last season. One of my biggest peeves-of-the-purchase was that I was "mis-informed" about the electric davit system (there is no electricity involved!). I have the "swing the ding up" variety pictured below, which doesn't suit me as a) whenever it's there, the swim pad is practically useless, b) even without the engine installed, the thing is a bear for this old coot ...

Post Zinc Anodes


Does anyone know how many anodes my Mariner has. I see one big one on the hull stern and one on each shaft and on the trim tabs, Anymore I missing???

What size are they? Is there a simple directory that lists them with sizing for a vessel? My boat is in storage 3 hrs from here and I wanted to order them.

2006 Mariner. THANKS!!

Post Introduction and thank you for adding me to the forum


Hi, I'm Gordon Velyvis, last year my partner, Geoffrey and I bought a 1985 Carver 3607 aft cabin in Toronto, Canada. It was in pretty rough shape as it was lived on through the winter for 2 years and lived on land through 2 more winters. Aside from general years of neglect and dirt, it had a lot of unsafe electrical devices installed to keep the boat heated. Plus quite a few plumbing disconnects and a dual inlet black water holding tank under the aft bank seat and no connection to the aft cabin ...
