I've made a couple of post before but just intro'ing myself. We have purchased a '94 440 Aft. Although I preferred diesel, this one has Crusaders. But for lake use it's just fine.



We are based near Dallas, Texas and spend the weekends at the lake primarily at anchor swimming and hanging out. My prior boat was a '97 Silverton 360 Express so we've made a big jump up in size and living space!



I'm hoping to learn a lot from everyone here and hope to help someone along the way as well. Any tips an ...

SOLD: A pair of Garelick folding chairs available for sale. We find them too bulky for our aft deck. They came with our boat when we purchased it. $125 for the pair. We are in Winnipeg but dock in Kenora. They are in pretty decent condition. At least one of the plastic leg covers is missing.

Just curious on everyone's favorite parts source or those that are the most reliable, good price etc. Certainly for basic maintenance items (impellers, etc.) but also for other larger items (hopefully not often!)

Thanks in advance!

Have a Kohler CZ23 would start, run, but quit before engaging power. Was told the main circuit board was the issue ( looked like??). replaced the board. Not the issue. Non returnable...$1200 including labour. Had the unit pulled last Fall. Second shot showed stator failure. Found a stator to match part no. in Florida and had shipped up. Now find the commutator is wrong size and...housing won't fit the drive. So far $2700 into this mess and no further comment from an incompetent marina.

Been sho ...

I have a 1995 Carver 355 aft and my vdo gas gauge broke and I need to replace it but don't know what gauge to purchase with or without sending unit and ohms . The gauge had no numbers or model number on back . The plastic disintegrated

Well, Let me tell you. We bought our Carver and the previous owner had Sea Deck installed. Looked really good till now. The swim platform is all bubbles and coming off with no effort at all. It wraps around to the front of the boat and the same thing is happening there also. So, We removed about 60% of it with ease. I had the rep from Kingston come and take a look and he confirmed it is SeaDeck. His only reasoning was that the installer did a bad job. He tried to get the head office to see what ...

Hi everyone, new owners here and having a shore power issue. From what we can see, the shore power cords are hard wired into the panel, as I've seen mentioned in a couple of posts. Our Marina just went to the new system that will trip if there is any back feed of current. When we go to a different Marina without the upgraded system, everything works beautifully. Everything works on generator power also. Got back to home port and plugged in, as soon as you flip ANYTHING on(even the outlets with n ...

This is NOT my ad, just posting the link here in case it helps a CYO member track down what they're looking for. It appears to be in northern IN and has some damage, but looks repairable. There are pictures in the ad. Good luck.

Ok, so I have a question for all you 396'ers out there.



My boat is equipped with TWIN 50amp/125v receptacles at the boat. and from looking at the electrical diagram, that looks to be the way it was designed from Carver. My marina (and just about every marina around me) only provide either twin 30amp or single 50 amp shore power.



The previous owner simply had 2, 50/125 --> 30amp pigtails on each line and ran it to the twin 30amp house.



on shore line 2, I run all 3 a/c units and on a hot day ...

Hi,

The hull on my 3207 model 1988 vintage is solid not cored? Want to put in-hull Raymarine transducer on Axiom 9.
