Post Carver Mariner 3396 schematic


Anybody have one? We have the original manual, which sucks. Not much useful in there for us as we have gutted it except under the floor.

We are looking for specific measurements heights widths etc. more than what the manual offers.

Thanks everyone

Jon and Heather

Post New owners of old boat


Hi, my wife Heather and I purchased a 1977 Carver Mariner in Pittsburgh. We have gutted it and plan on restoring it. Some day we are going to take it to Florida.

We will need a lot of advice and help to say the least, this is our first “big” boat.

Post Quick Tip: Cleaning a Crusader 6.0 Heat Exchanger


In case this helps someone else...probably would work for other HE's I'm sure.
My port engine was running a little hotter (pushing 180 degrees) at 3000 RPMs. Starboard was solid at 170 and change. I had already cleaned the SB heat exchanger so decided to do the port.

You can see there are some blocked tubes at the bottom. I had already started working down from the top using 1/8" brass spindles to break through the crust in the tubes and followed up with a wire brush. Works great. I used a s ...

Post Did we do the right thing?


We have been going through the process of buying a 1989 Carver 34 Santego. We have been looking for awhile and this boat ticked a lot of boxes for us. We spoke to the broker and looked through the boat and made an offer, and negotiated a price with the seller.

We then had a mechanic look over the engines, and he was happy with them but found a small leak coming from where the drive and the hull meet. He had worked om the boat once before (about 12 months previously) and had noticed it then and t ...

This is another one of those NOT MY AD posts, but I just ran across this CL ad and thought there might be some members with similar boats who might be looking for parts.

Post need gasoline sending unit - 1984 Santa Cruz


Hello friends,

My 26' foot vintage Carver (single tank) gas gauge doesn't work - reads full when full, but then drops as soon as any appreciable fuel is used and stops at 3/4 full, and does not drop below that, (used 37 gallons the last time out and it did not move below 3/4).

But here's the odd aspect - I bought the boat last October and the fuel gauges (flybridge and lower helm), neither worked. I was told that a mechanic had replaced the sending unit/float assembly, and that did not work. So I ...

Post Winterizing Antifreeze


Seems like my local marine store does not have any engine/metal/lubricated/non alcohol antifreeze this year. The good stuff which is not alcohol based like the cheap pink stuff usually found everywhere. Salesman there is trying to tell me the alcohol stuff is the same, yeah, right!! The easy way to distinguish between the 2 is to look for the flammable label, you do not want this.
