Hello there!

I'm about to be an owner of a 1988 Santego 30. Super stoked to have a boat to enjoy in the city! Also excited to have another thing to wrench on (in addition to cars and bicycles).

Looks like it's a bit difficult to come by documentation. I've found the doc thread and PMed so far which seems to be a huge boon to the community here.

I'll get some pics uploaded asap.

Very excited!

Hey Guys,

Is anyone here using the new Ray 53,63 or 73 VHF radios? They are spendy and can't find one to look at to integrate with Axiom 9. Others would be Standard Horizon GX1800GW or Garmin 115. Like the Standard just wanted to go with plotter and radio from the same company. I will add an external speaker as well.

I have a 7.4 mercruiser in my Carver 280. It's been leaking power steering fluid (A LOT) and I can't seem to find where it's coming from. Saw some videos on that make me think it might be the fluid heat exchanger/cooler but wondering if anyone had a recommendation on where to look? That cooler unit is pretty buried under the engine...

Thank you!

I'm wondering if this is a good spot to ask Marquis-related questions.

Thanks!

A week ago, I fond there was no air coming from the forward berth. Sent to wifi camera in and saw the duct was split halfway through. NO real access. So, I pondered and decided to go in. With no access, So I was getting anxious about this. I was going to run a 2.5” duct through the 3” one, but it is only a shortcut. So, I went in after breakfast this AM.



NOT as bad as thought! The old vent was zip tied inside. I ran a tubing (1/2” brake line) through the old vent, worked the tubing until I was ...

Hi everyone, I am a first time Carver owner, but not new to Carver's, as my Dads cousin, which would make him my second cousin, was the original owner and founder of Carver boats. So I have been around them since I was a little kid. I recently purchased a 1990 Carver Montego with 7.4s and love this boat. We live in Upper Michigan and most or all of our boating is on Lake Superior, and we often visit Isle Royal National park. The Carver Montego was first built in the 80s, I was fortunate enough t ...

So I replaced all my speakers outside of the cabin when I first got the boat. They were really blown. Now it’s time for the inside 4 speakers. Originally they are Clarion. But, they don’t make this model anymore. I am a fan of original look. I hunted for replacements and came up with Scorche speakers model HD 6504F. I really do not like the grills of these speakers. All I had to do to use the Clarion grills was to bend 4 tabs to allow the Clarions to fit, easy.

Upon investigation, I found a small leak from both the port and starboard rudder shaft seals. They appear to be some kind of dripless seal since there does not seem to be any sort of packing gland follower. A google search turned up possibly a "Tide's lip seal" - but I am only basing that on the red "cap" that I am guessing is there to keep debris out. However, with the entire tube fiberglassed up to that metal ring it doesn't exactly look like any of the ones I've found online.



Any one rep ...
