any pictures or diagrams of position for crane slings for lift out 1986 carver 3607

My engine starts and dies immediately. The solenoid is not actuating. I've replaced the fuel cut off solenoid and ignition switch. I still have no power at the solenoid. My diesel mechanic friend says it's my relay switch but I'm not able to locate that switch and he lives 900 miles away. I have a Cummins engine. Any idea on where this might be located?

Purchased a 1990 4207 AC with Cat 3208 TA's a few months ago (first boat). Starboard engine was smoking (white, unburned fuel) when purchased; seller thought that it was a fuel nozzle over-feed problem. Thought that would be fairly reasonable to get fixed. Had a tech to work on that issue and found other problems. Now looking at engine replacement worst case; maybe just top-end rebuild.

$25k-$30k for engine replace is worst case I've been told. Just not up for it from a time and effort standpoi ...

Hi all - I purchased a 1990 4207 with Cat 3208 TAs a few months ago. Starboard engine was smoking when purchased and seller felt like it was fuel nozzle overfeed, so I thought that would be a fairly inexpensive fix(relatively speaking). Had a diesel tech start to work on that issue and when he took off valve cover on right side (looking at front of engine) found a bent rod and loose valve spring. Other side had three bent rods. Evindence also that engine may have over heated at some point. So mu ...

Survey yesterday on a prospective 2004 466. Discovered aft midships cleats on both sides 'loose' - i.e., when the surveyor rapped them with his phenolic hammer, the cleat would rotate off center a little bit; and then when rapped on the other side, the cleat would rotate back the other way, just a smidge...



I'm wondering if anyone else has tackled this issue on a 466 and can offer some words of advice on how to get in to the back side (i.e. backing plates side) of those?.... Tha ...

Hi All,

I have a Kohler 10E in my 396. It has a Ford VSG-413 4 cylinder gas engine with a build date of 2002. The generator has low hours on it and is in great shape except for one thing. One of the exhaust valves rusted into place slightly open, probably from lack of use before I bought the boat. I removed the head and a machine shop got the valve out, but it is damaged. The head itself is fine. Finding parts for this engine (other than some tune-up parts) is very difficult. Kohler has discont ...

I’m at my boat, with shore power connected and both gauges looking good, but I have no power to anything on the boat… No bilge pumps, no freshwater pump, no navigation or cabin lights, etc. The only thing that works is the fridge, because that’s on a converter. Where do I begin looking and for what? Someone at the marina suggested maybe a faulty transfer relay…? We’ve gone through the manuals and can’t seem to find a clue. The circuit diagrams seem to show two individual transfer relays (two cir ...

Most Marinas charge by the foot for a seasonal slip in our area. Used to be it was what was written on the boat such as mine would have been 41. Marinas started charging by LOA to get a little more income which is fine so mine was bumped to 43 which is the actual manufacturers spec. This year they measured my boat and charged me for a 45. I showed him the actual spec but he said they measured it and it was 45, said the spec did not include the anchor sticking out the end!!!



Is this fair? Ha ...

I really do like my 506 but since I like to work on it myself, I find the owners manual a really useless POS. My 2006 Sea Ray 44DB manual had about 30 pages of very detailed wiring diagrams. Carver's idea of a wire schematic is a Joke! Are there additional manuals available anywhere that have more detail or even a legend that identifies circuits by the number tags on the wires. I found a #10 brown wire marked B8 paired with a B8 black ground wire in the bilge. both wires were terminated with an ...
