Does anyone know the location of the Pump relay box for the air conditioning raw water pump on a 1999 Carver 530

I own a 2002 506. I believe it has the original refrigerators. They work fine but many of the brackets on the door shelves have broken. Does anyone have a lead on where I might get replacement brackets?

Thanks,

Brian

Pro active maintenance performed for the new boating season. Replaced impellers and orings for raw water circuits on both engines. Brass pump housing was smooth and clean on the interior, I also used a generous amount of silicone paste lubricant on the impeller.







Start port engine and expect to see flow out my exhaust port within 15-20 seconds, after 30 seconds no water. Waited another 20 seconds and shut engine down. Verified 1.Raw Water Thru hull is open and flow is unobstructed

Hello All. Cooler is in the water! Launched yesterday. After installing the run dry impellers, I did get the port engine up to 220 at launch. Apparently an air lock in water system. The mechanic bled out some air in the intake hose, and then temp recovered. Still not where it should be, running at 180, but mechanic is going to replace thermostats. Feels like the old one may have crapped out when the engine got hot. Glad I had the run dry impellers in there, a standard impeller would have been i ...

Greetings,



Today I closed on a very nice Carver 530 Voyager 2001. See pictures. We will be naming her "Copper" after the "Copper River" in Cordova Alaska, which is my home town.



The boat is currently in Cape Coral, FL, and I'll be running her across the state to Cocoa Village Marina over the next few days. We plan to do some ICW cruising on the East coast and spend at least two months in the Exumas next year starting in late Feb early Mar or 2022.



I'm looking forward to exchaning knowledge with eve ...

Hi all and a question about Walter V-drive. My cooling system on the V-drive is shot. Cover is corroded so bad it pisses out water all around the gasket surface. The actual V-drive is really bad also with corrosion and the bolt holes are shot. Before the salt water eats into the actual gears I want to completely bypass the raw water from the V-drive and go straight to the engine pump. Has anyone replumbed the oil system to a engine oil cooler with a fan? I've been building hot rods since th ...

Hi all, I have a 1998 Carver 350 Mariner. The port side window is broken and needs to be replaced. Carver gave me the manufacture that was making the window for that model, Taylor Made Systems. They don't manufacture those windows anymore and gave me another manufacturer, Ocean Dynamics in Miami. Does anyone have any ideas where I can get a window?

Good morning everyone!

We are settling in to our 350 Mariner and so far, very much enjoying her. She is a lot more modern than our 1990 38 Santego and that has its pros and cons, but we love her.

Have a few general questions and am looking for a fellow 350 Mariner owner that is just more familiar with the model.

1) Has anyone added anything to the deck to help with how sloped it is and the potential of something going over? We haven't lost anything yet, but I feel it is inevitable.

2) Has anyone co ...

Did Carver ever use LH rotation engines for both Port & Starboard power, with the Starboard engine having a reverse rotation transmission?



New to us 1996 370 Voyager



I was pulling plugs and marking wires at both the cap and plugs on my starboard engine and noticed the firing order on the manifold is the same as my port engine 1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2.... Had to do a double take.... various other clues have me thinking the starboard engine may be a re-power, or at least pulled for a re-build at some poi ...

Hi everyone, I’m in a bit of a bind and could use some help. I have a 2000 Carver 396 with twin cummins 6BT 5.9 engines. Last week I was motoring to have my boat lifted at another marina and the starboard engine quite running. A little searching reviewed that the 10 amp breaker on top of the engine had tripped shutting off the fuel. It continues to trip when you turn on the key. I can’t get a mechanic because they are booked up for most of the summer. Disconnected the fuel shutoff and tied ...
