I am selling my 2000 356 Aft Cabin. Looking for a boat broker in the North Florida area that can list quickly. Boat is ready to go! Thanks.

Quick question.... what should be the normal cruising RPM's/knots on a 1995 355 with 454's?

The canvas on my old 28’ voyager is ending it’s lifespan.I know it’s going to be big $ for a complete redo. Any body think the could ball park the price? Trying to prepare myself…lol. Frame is in good shape and can be reused. All windows have screens sewn in and I would like to do that again. If it is too costly I may just do the bridge this time.

I have an offer on the subject boat. Owned it for 23 years. Should I have any concerns on the survey?

Hi all, New to this forum. Looking for any advice. My ignition alarm is beeping when i turn the key on. It was a long beep but now it is a repeating beep that quits when engine starts. 1995 330 mariner 5.7l closed cooling. Thanks for any reply.

Hi all,

I had to replace a fuel pump on my 454XLs and during that change the solid fuel line from the fuel filter to the fuel pump must have flexed and developed a hairline crack where the steel rolled together. That part for my 1994 motor is no longer available. So I went to a hose fabricator joint and they made one out of braided stainless. I put it on, checked and ran the motors with no leaks or issues that I could tell. Anyone have any gotchas to watch out for? I plan on replacing the o ...

I have a question for the crew regarding an odor created by the heat/oil/moving parts; the general smell created by running an engine at 3400 rpm's for a while. Do any of you get complaints from guests of a smell?

The admiral and indeed others complain about the 'smell of gas', however there is absolutely no fresh gas leak. I believe it's the general smell of the engine compartment. I never run with the doors open and know there is no 'station wagon' effect.

On the Mariner, the steps leading t ...

Hi to all, and thanks for letting us join.



We are Ric and Belle from Kingscliff, NSW, Australia.



We are just about to become the proud owners of a 1989 Carver 34 Santego. Survey and engine checks done, a couple of small repairs finished and anti fouled. Hoping to sea trial next week and expect to settle shortly after. First boat for us so i feel we should apologise in advance for a couple of stupid questions that will undoubtedly come.

We have been reading the forums for a while and have already l ...

2004 460 Voyager owner. I'm stumped. I constantly see 1 or 2 inches of water in my bilge. When I turn on the "pressure water pump" and leave it on, It'll empty out the fresh water tank in one day. Likely into the bilge. The Aft bilge pump then pumps it out. However, when I connect to dockside water and turn the pump off, the bilge has much less water in it. I have a Siren Marine system that tells me when the pump goes off, so I know when it cycles.



Any ideas as to how I go about finding the leak ...

Hey there everyone.

I was on the 'hook' and when I turned on the anchor light I did not get 360 white but just 180 aft light. When I switch to running, aft white stays and forward red/green power on.

Do you know if there are 2 bulbs in the mast?

I don't know if its a switch or bulb issue.

It will be good info to have prior to breaking out a ladder to get up there .

Also, are you guys replacing these bulbs with LED or keeping the original incandescent.

My vessel is a 2005 Mariner..

Thanks.
