I need to replace water heater. Problem is it is mounted under the dinette. It will not fit through the floor access panel.
Help!

Just curious. I am old school in that I believe you change your oil in the fall just before winter layup. My mechanic is of the school that you change your oil in the spring.

Last fall I came out a bit late so I did not get the oil changed so it will be done after I launch this season.

What is your thought, fall or spring.

We recently purchased a 1995 355 Aft Cabin, and are on the Tennessee River near Knoxville. We have had a few "older" boats and just like the feel a classic. The Carver 355 is no exception. The boat looks to be in great shape with only a few minor issues to sort out - typical for an older boat. I was glad to find a Forum that focuses just on Carver, which is another "Plus". Happy boating to all!

Cruisers Yachts parent company KCS International said it has bought the former Carver and Marquis yacht facility, a 216,000 square-foot, purpose-built manufacturing space that will allow the company to significantly expand production.

Hi Everybody, My wife and I just bought our first boat two months ago. Thought I would join in and learn from others.

Replaced the original oven/stove top with Ninja XL oven and induction top. This did require some cabinet modification. Major improvement though is the sink. The existent sink was so small you could hardly wash your hands in it without having water all over the place. Got it from amazon, perfect size and fit. I also got filtered f ...

My 1998 Mariner is showing a dull no luster look arch. Any suggestions for improvements? Has anyone repainted and if so with what paint?

Ok, on my 2001, model 356 (and I'm sure other models as well) I have wash down spigots both at the anchor pulpit and on the aft deck.
The plastic handle on one has broken and the other one is not far from it.
Where can I get these handles. Best I can determine, it is a square 5/16 Sillcock.
I bought a universal Sillcock key that works but can not be permanantly attached. At least I can turn the water on and off when needed, but I would like a permanant handle.
