Our 2005 vintage Mercury 270 fiberglass RIB has resumed "un-gluing" itself. We're looking for a replacement and leaning towards a 280-300 Ultra lite aluminum rib single hull style for weight savings and durability in rocky shorelines in PNW area.
We have weaver snap davits on our 2006 36MY swim step, but would like to get Weaver front and transom ARC mounts, avoiding the "glue on pad" scenario for "on-side" transport that our Mercury had.

- Forum: Carver Yachts Forum - Model Discussion
I was wondering anyone knew the lifting capacity of a stock Carver 4207 davit mounted on the
aft deck hard top?
Any suggestions on good size of rigid (RIB) for the hardtop?

Post Toilet Brush?

Odd boating subject for sure but I thought I should share this find with others here. This silicone brush is very compact and works very well. Come with a sticky pad so you can easily mount it on the wall near the head. Love this little unit which seems to be made for a boat. No more yucky or rusty bristles. Guess you could even put it in the dishwasher if you don't tell the better half that is. Enjoy.

Post Head - What Brand Did Carver Use?
- Posted by: CarolynJean » June 14th, 2021, 10:56 pm
- Forum: Carver Yachts Forum - Model Discussion
IHi All. I’m new. I have a lovely 1990 Carver Allegra 2587. Smaller than most of you but I love her. It is in pristine condition but I noticed there is a leak from the base of the head and i want to correct it. The manual refers to the head only generally. Does anyone know how to find any detailed info about the brand, or a diagram of what it underneath/how it connects to the floor? Obviously screws, but I wonder if there is special plate that may be cracked, something like the wax ring h ...

Post 3607 1989 starboard transmission failure need repair options
- Posted by: stutting » June 14th, 2021, 7:20 pm
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Coming back from Nashville to Iowa, I made if to chester Illinois mm 110 limping on one motor. I have lost the starboard transmission. It does not turn in forward or reverse. Shifting cable is intact and operating. I find that it will spin by hand. The working port transmission will not turn by hand. I checked the transmission fluid level and it was gone in bad side. I am assuming I have lost a clutch or worse. I plan on slow boating it to Evansville on the kaskaskia River. Questions. Can the ...

Post ACR and switches question
- Posted by: mikesparker » June 14th, 2021, 2:59 pm
- Forum: Electrical
Hello! I've got a Carver 3227 and my house batteries aren't being charged by my engines...only by shore power AC or by my portable generator. The old girl has twin Crusaders, 2 starting batteries (connected by a 1/2/ALL Perko selector switch) and a (4) 6V battery bank for house. There are 2 Blue Sea Dual Circuit switches and 2 ACRs. I don't know at the moment if they're the Plus switches or not...don't think so. I know that the Perko switch for the starting batteries allows me to choose which st ...

Post 4.2 TDI problems

- Forum: Diesel Engines/Transmissions
Hello all,
Purchased a new (demo) C37 back in December. New boat with VW 4.2 TDI engines.
I cannot believe how many things were bad from day 1.
Isotherm tripping breaker, line through a TV, Grill switch malfunctioning, and a low fuel indicator on the vessel view with a full tank, limp mode after 2500 rpm one engine. Months later after everything (except the engine error ). The mechanics found a non punched out knockout in the return line to the lift pump. So now the think the fuel injector p ...

does anyone know where to purchase the black aluminum trim under the pulpit? Also, what type of adhesive is used to adhere the vinyl wall covering to the plywood? 3M 99 does not work.

Post 2808 Original Props?
- Posted by: danobrunet » June 14th, 2021, 10:46 am
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hi all,
new to the Carver world and when my boat is full of fuel and water, cannot get it out of the water. Only if less heavy, trimmed down and WOT. I know this is not a cruiser but with that kind of hull, I expected a better range of cruising.
I am trying to find what was the provided prop on this model but I do not have the original build of material and it the manual, the 2808 is not listed. So I go from 18x21 (probably 3 blades at that time) for a 5.7 Merc to a 18x18 for the 305 Cruisader.

Post Sea star steering question
- Posted by: stanboyd89 » June 13th, 2021, 10:46 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
1986 Carver 4207 with Sea Star steering.
So over the weekend, I was in some pretty rough seas. The wind kept blowing me to port and turning me side on to the on coming waves. I would turn the steering wheel 2 to 3 turns to starboard in an attempt to hit the waves at a 45 dedree angle. I would not turn the wheel back to port. After 3 to minutes I would have to repeat this process. I continued to do this for the next hour and a half. It was like after a few minutes, the rudders would straighten bac ...
