In process of purchasing a 2000 450 Voyager and need a few items.

1) Needs a full helm/flybridge cover. The snaps are in place around the helm but no cover. Is this something I can get from a traditional cover mfg or should I go to a local canvas shop?

2) The middle access plate on the flybridge arch is missing. Any clue where to find one?

Any advice welcome!

Power supply from my NORCOLD DE fridge, vintage 1994. 110V/12V switched over great and worked well. $50.00 plus USPS Priority mail shipping to US. Canada is doable, just the postage.

Thermostat from same. This is the part at the bottom of the fridge $15.00

So glad I found this group. Just closing on 1997 Carver 405. Survey went very well with no major issues. One engine smoking a bit, some say possibly injectors need a cleaning. I would like to start upgrades immediatly by replacing carpet. I am in the Chattanooga area and looking for any suggestions, good or bad experience.

My wife and I have owned many boats over the years. This is our first Carver. No plans for loop or coast cruising. Mostly likely just lake and moderate river trips, s ...

I just replaced the original hot water tank in our Santa Cruz 2866 with new 6 gallon Raritan with heat exchanger and connected hoses from engine the same way they were on the old onewhere it says engine heating in old diagram, the top hose connection went to the front of the engine, the bottom went to the top of the engine.
The new heater has much more separate ports, and I assumed the hose coming from the front of the engine would be the supply and the return would be going to the top ...

After the ventrifigo install I was ready to take on more responsibility of the Sideshift install. LOTS of putting against the hull, measuring, second guessing. Props were to be 5” below water line at minimum. I have them set about 6.5”. I got a LOT of crap from a group I belong to “Buzzards Bay Boaters” Tough crowd. I have also attached a transcript of those comments.

After marking things out, I took down the bottom paint behind the flange and as little as possible. Drilled the holes, and fille ...

Yesterday was OUT WITH THE NORCOLD, IN WITH THE VENTRIFIGO day. Anyone who says it will ‘slide right out and slide right in is in LA La land. Got the Norcold out of the enclosure, that is where the fun started. It would NOT fit up the stairs from galley to salon. Had to drop the table and remove the hand grab rail. So up in the salon, it was 1/4” too big to go out the sliding door. SO, off came the doors. NOPE! Now to remove the mounting flange..RIGHT!!! Took off all the screws, and that flange ...

Hi- I joined a couple months ago. Searching for other similar ancient Carver owners because the boat manual doesn’t explain much. Many mysteries have been uncovered, but there still are others. Grew up boating, but being a girl, wasn’t learning more than staying out of the way and how to tie a kleat. Most of my experience as an adult has been sea kayaking here in the San Juan Islands, where the only systems involved navigation and currents.

My husband and I got our 1980 Santa Cruz last year, ...

Regarding 2002 450 Voyager:

I knew that the poor geometry of my starboard motor exhaust would lead to a failed turbo eventually. Previous owner had the issue and replaced the turbo, wet and dry elbow in 2019. I pulled both the elbows to inspect the turbo yesterday. I just caught it in time to save the turbo but have a new wet (HDI Marine) and dry elbow on the way. I am having a fabricator cut my dry elbow in half and weld in a 5 inch section to add height to the setup. I know that will solve the ...
