Greetings everyone from Atlanta Georgia! After 25 years of wanting a Carver my wife and I just acquired a 1997 355 Aft Cabin! I'm looking forward to getting to know more about this great boat.

I have to get this done before I forget. Merry Christmas to all of the members, I wish you nothing but the best in the new season, great boating and lots of new friends. The knowledge we share goes a very long way. Be kind. Peace out.

All:

I thought I would share this in case it can help someone else out in the future.

I recently purchased a 530 Voyager Pilothouse. About a month ago the Malber washing machine died. After failed attempt to find replacement parts for the washer, I decided to replace it.

The problem is that the door to the master stateroom is 20" wide. I could find no front loading washing machines that could fit through the door.

I'll spare all the attempted solutions that failed and cut to the finale: If you are ...

I need to get boat insurance for a boat I brought to Florida recently as my Michigan Insurer will no longer cover me. It's a 2005 360 Carver Mariner which is kept at a marina on the west coast of Florida. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

hello fellas. I am trying to install a brand new GPS unit to my 3227. I thought striker vivid 9sv was a great deal for about $500 on black Friday. I am not a fisherman. Just need to see where I'm going and the depth since I am mostly in Gulf ICW by freeport, TX, and the channels are very shallow at the edges.

My dilemma is that I have two helms. I am sure I can purchase an extra power/data cable and additional mount for the 9SV online. Is there a correct way of installing these cables or do I jus ...

Good morning,
I recently purchased a 2004 Carver 444 and I am slowly getting aquainted with my boat. I have been trying to locate my waste discharge pump and valves with out success. The manual shows that the aft pump should be under the bed on port side and the forward under the salon. Ther is also not a braker in the panel for either. Is it possible that I do not have a discharge pump at all.

thanks in advance for all your assistance.

Hello Guys. I recently acquired a 1988 Carver 3227 (previously erroneously called 3207 by me) convertible. seems to have been very well kept. I purchased this for cruising in the ICW by freeport TX and up Old Brazos river for fun.

1. Starboard V-drive is not apparently leaking from anywhere visibly on the floor (I have not done a diaper/towel test below v-drive yet) but it loses pretty much ALL oil on the dipstick quickly. Found no oil when I bought it, filled it - was docked for 10 days, then I ...

Hi All! Thanks for having me! i bought a pristine little 1990 Allegra and virtually the only thing in the galley that didn’t work was the top loading little fridge. I am hoping to pull it out during the off season, which doesn’t seem complicated, and drop in a replacement. I wonder if anyone has done this before and has any suggestions as to where to look/advice. Thanks!!

Hello all,

Just starting to get used to the idea of buying a real boat (everything else has been<20 ft). Planning on getting a 444 after my daughter graduates high school in two years. Will be selling the house and using the proceeds to buy it. We will be doing the great loop and possibly the carribean if I can talk the admiral into it. So far she has agreed to the loop, but is afraid of pirates to go further.
