I believe I have a side deck drain leaking. Water finds its way into the aft cabin head. I guess there is a tube within the drain that is cracked. any thoughts?

I might have an opportunity to remove the lower helm station from another 3207 for future installation on mine. I'm imagining the removal should be fairly simple (famous last words). Steering hoses and wiring probably connect to the same systems from the upper helm to the engine bay through the corner of the forward head. Throttle and shift cables probably go through the salon floor to the engines. I'm planning to remove the windshield wipers too.



Has anyone done this? Is there any major obs ...

Am struggling with a mystery.



I have twin 2004 crusader 6.0s. On any start, hot or cold, the engine hunts for idle with wide swings. It settles eventually or if I give it a bit of throttle, it settles back quicker. It also happens when I throttle down in neutral, it hunts a bit before settling down. (RPMS are stable at anywhere over 1k). I changed the MAP sensors with no effect. I changed the IAC valves, it just made it worse funny enough. I really don't want to spend more on parts or buying a s ...

Newbie move. Second time docking and swung stern wide and clipped neighboring boat's anchor on the stern bench. The port side bench mounting tore out (of the soft wood) and upholstery was torn

Is it even reasonable to find a replacement bench for this vintage? Any suggestions for repair/replace? Are there specialty marine furniture shops? I am in Chicago.

I'm reasonably handy and based on the damage, I think I could do the following for the structure of t ...

The throttle position to engage reverse appears to be very far into the travel. It has made getting into reverse with small amount of thrust difficult. I don't have a picture but the position for engagement is somewhere near 60 deg of the travel.



Is this normal for Mercruiser Alpha I/O drives in the 1988 Santego 30? If not, what would I start looking into adjusting? Is this a cable age, cable maintenance issue? Is it reasonable to start looking into this issue while boat is still in the water?

I found water leaking from the starboard shaft seal on my 2000 396 aft cabin. Can anyone give me an idea for the cost of replacing the shaft seal? Of course, we have to pull the boat but I want to know the fair price for the replacement. Thanks.

By the way, we temporarily stopped the leak.

Good morning
I have a ‘77 carver 22’ camper I am working on restoring. I have already reported it now I am getting into the nitty gritty. I am looking for specs on the plumbing, sinks, bilge, etc. I am also looking for wiring diagrams. This boat is in good shape but I want to make it nice (helps in getting the wife and kids out for over nights). I am located in San Diego and any/all help is appreciated.

Hi,

I was wondering if you could give a fellow Carver 38 SS owner a hand? I have a cracked window on the port side and need to replace it. I think the same panes of glass have been replaced on both the starboard and port side. I say that because the dots (frits) are decals and not painted on and baked like all the other windows. I was wondering if you could check your window and see if it's baked on frits dots or decals? It's driving me nuts on why this window cracked and if they have been replac ...

My wife and I just upgraded from our 1978 Seafarer 38' to a 1988 Carver 4207. We had been on the hunt for a power boat to call home for the last year and when she saw the interior of the 4207 she fell in love. Just brought it home on a 300 mile trip from NC to VA and couldn't be happier with our decision. Hope to make some connections on here and share in the knowledge of these boats.
