What does one do to replace the fabric cloth covering on the “walls” in the aft stateroom, and forward V berth? Mine are getting old, and dingy. I was thinking of vinyl plank, but it is not flexible enough to curve in the forward berth. Thought of carpet, but not sure about any mold that mat grow. has anyone used the SeaDeck type foam on the walls?

wondering if folks with this power plant are happy with performance and fuel burn

Hi everyone:



Glad to find this forum. I'm Steven, a Maryland resident who just purchased a 2008 Carver Mariner 36 that now sits on the South River on the Chesapeake. Having bought the boat in November, I could not bring myself to haul it out right away, so it is still in the slip. At the moment, I'm looking for alternatives to hauling out and shrink wrapping, but will keep that conversation to a different thread.



I'm looking forward to learning a lot from you fellow boaters, and hopefully contr ...

We bought this beauty in 2021 with aspirations of heading out on the Great Loop in 2023. Unfortunately, time demands are causing us to put our journey off a few years. For us, she is the optimum package for doing the Loop. She is set up nicely for live aboard (we were on it six months last Fall/Winter). Fuel efficient at low and slow 10mph with the ability to jump up to 30mph if needed.



With just 350 hours your family is sure to enjoy a like-new motor yacht that will have your boating frien ...

Where can I get the recessed led lights for the salon ceiling? They are 2 1/8 round and very thin.

Hi everyone and Merry Christmas!!

I purchased my 1998 Trojan 400 and have been repairing the engines / gearboxes since ((((

I have been looking for a detailed manual, specifically location of cables, routing of hoses etc as the generic manual has very little information.

Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

Greetings CYO friends,



My wife and I sold our 355 aft cabin we owned for 15 years and we are ready to purchase our next boat. We are set on the Marquis 59 or the Carver 56 Voyager. We don’t want anything older than 2004 model year, and it must be 100% freshwater. We live and boat in MN. If you, or someone you know has something in this category for sale, or is considering selling, please send me a note. I shop all the big websites DAILY, but maybe there’s something in this forum that isn’t l ...

I am getting salt water in my rear bilge while underway. I just can't locate where it is coming from. While in the marina its dry. The dripless and rudder shafts are not leaking. The air conditioner drain into the sump is working. I caulked the outside molding thinking it may be coming in there no luck. Sometimes it's only a 1/2gallon other times its 2 or 3 gallons. does not seem to matter if its calm or rough seas while underway. Any ideas?

I imagine I'm not the first owner to be infinitely annoyed by the water that accumulates in the forward bilge. I imagine a lot of owners have figured this out, and I've seen posts that touch on this but they never seem to come to what I would call a satisfactory resolution. I thought I share a post of mine from another forum that sheds some light on this annoyance. I'll paste it below, but as it was told to me, water can bypass the aft and mid bilge and pool in the forward bilge. I wanted to con ...
