I have a 1988 Carver Mariner with twin 220hp. My boat does not have an aft cabin. My question is I'm looking for someone who has experienced adjusting or adding rounds of packing to the shaft seals. The design of the Mariner is such you can see the shaft and packing adjustment bolts via small floor access covers under the couch and dinette seat, but accessing them is nearly impossible. The only way I see to make any adjustments to the packing is by removing the V drives. There is just no room fo ...

Greetings,

I have a 1993 Mariner 330 with twin Crusaders 350XL/305CI My starboard starter motor failed. I have been trying to find a replacement, however the starter I have has no markings on it. None on the port starter motor either. Part suppliers stating they obviously need this. When I give them the serial #on the motor 91749 They state that is no help either. Anyone have a starter with a brand name or part # etc. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi team Carver - sitting in my office, s/b working, but instead am thinking about next projects for my New (to me) Carver (so, I will now call this working!). My 2001 466 has the Cabinet over the sink/ice maker on the aft deck (as opposed to the enclosed alarm system). Previous owners have "converted" the space for storage of junk (cleaning stuff, keys, tools, stuff) but in keeping with the name of the unit (its a wet BAR), I would like to un-re-purpose the space back into.... that, a Bar. I ...

Hi Team-Carver - hope all is well during this off-season (I live in NE so....)! New Carver owner, looking for any source of "Carver-specific" parts. Right now I am looking for a trim piece (Cowel?) that goes around the portal in the VIP Head Shower - the current one is broken and loose (picture attached - must have been some rough seas to shower in!!!) and I would like to replace it. I also have 1 or 2 other "Carver" things that I may need to replace - that said, the boat is in great shape ov ...

On my quest to tackle another project on my (new to us) 1999 Carver 406.

Outside the V-Berth, has a wet head with a shower curtain rail mounted to the ceiling. The curtain and hooks are all missing. Any idea where to look for this hardware and soft good? I have searched online and in all categories of this site under many keywords with NO LUCK. Picture of Head below.

Thanks for any guidance or direction. Hope all are well.

Hey there and Happy New Year to the crew.

A couple of months ago I posted regarding a fuel smell in the salon. After many responses, I have decided to change out the fuel fill hose on both port and starboard this Spring. Folks have noted that hoses can be compromised due to the age of the boat and additives in the gasoline. I have a 2005 Mariner.

I was speaking with a friend and he mentioned that perhaps the fuel 'vent' line is the culprit.

I do not recall seeing any vent line on the boat. My p ...

Hello,

I have re-upholstered the valances in the salon and am moving to the aft stateroom but have not figured out how to remove the upper horizontal valances from either the aft window or the port side portholes. download/file.php?mode=view&id=6414

I have removed the blind/blind brackets which allowed me to remove a painted header that the blind attaches to which gave me access to where I thought the valance attached. I do find several screws which go thro ...

I have a set of trick Davits on the swim platform of our 2001 466. The bolt heads are carriage and recessed. Can anyone tell me how to access the end of the bolts inside the swim platform in order to remove the Davits completely. Thank you.

Wanted, boarding ladder for a 2001 466.
