Looking at picking up a 2005 39ft MY in the very near future. It has the Volvo TAMD 63 motors (320hp I believe). Any advise on issues for this model with this combo? Underpowered? Pros and Cons? Thanks!

We completed the survey, lift-out, and sea trial yesterday on a 1998 405 Aft Cabin (7.4 Horizon engines, Kohler 10 kw genny). I won’t have the written report for another couple days. The Surveyor spent about an hour with me, one-on-one, after the survey answering my questions, and discussing systems, condition, and recommendations. I was pleased with the process and look forward to the written report.



This is my first boat survey, but I draw somewhat of a comparison to a home inspection in that ...

Hi Everyone! We had (and loved) a '98 Mariner for 12 years - took a long break from boating and just purchased a '98 445! We're so excited! I hope to contribute what I can and look forward to learning from everyone on the board. So glad to be a Carver owner again!

Question for Riviera owners past and present...

We are gearing up for vacation on our newly repaired Riviera. It is an '83 with a single screw 454 crusader.

The problem is, most of the time when under way, we get high carbon monoxide readings in the aft cabin. We are trying to figure out how to remedy the issue, i.e. opening or closing different windows to try and get air flow through there to consistently get fresh air in there.

Has anybody had similar issues and been able to come up with a good ...

DOes anyone have a lead on original gauges (oil and water temp) for a 1994 390CPMY?

Looking for advice, diagram, and/or parts list required for removing my heat exchanger.

How many of you have come across , by chance, boats you once owned in for sale ads, you tube videos or walks around marinas etc.

Years ago we were on a cruise on Lake Ontario and came across the hardtop boat we had sold to get the one we were on the cruise in, There it was at the marina we had the pig roast at...... Just the other day I watched a YT video on Georgian bay and there beside the cruising video boat was docked our old F32 ( should have kept that one ). I have seen the old Carver ( ...

Hello and thank you for allowing us to join this group. We have a 2020, 47 ft, 450 Voyager Pilothouse which we keep docked in our back yard. We have been owners going on two years now. We fully appreciate that we don't know what we don't know.

Hi,

I am missing a trim piece on the starboard side forward window next to the helm station. This piece fits over the fixed glass on the outer track and buts up to the middle slider and has a seal on it. Does anyone know where I can find this piece? This is the only defect I found when the mobile wash guy came yesterday to give her a bath. This allow you to stick your finger between the first and second window to the outdoors.

Me: "I gotta leak on my boat."

Mechanic: "Go ahead, it's your boat."



So coming into the dock at Thunderbird Lodge on beautiful Rainy Lake, I noticed I was standing in pink hydraulic steering fluid. I have a 1993 Carver 300 Sedan. Yes- I read all 92 posts that say" Hynautic" but want to be certain on which model I have as I am contemplating a rebuild with Seatech. I know I could figure it out if I was on my boat, but I'm 300 miles away from it and my paperwork that came with the boat.



Any help woul ...
