I just boufht a 2005 carver 36 mariner , two gas engines 300 hours one owner boat. I have a few questions please

What do I pour down toilets so it doesn’t smell?

Anything I check or change regularily ?

Any tips in general? I’ve hosted my whole life but never actually owned a flybridge carver

On my Carver 406, there is a 12volt safety breaker panel located below the last step of the salon’s stairway. I would like to access the back of this panel but can not figure out how to get to it. Any help would be appreciated.
i.e. My quest is to discover how this is wired and incorporating that into the electrical diagram for my boat.

Look fwd to learning more about the Carver family soon as an owner of a 3207.

Am located in eastern NC but plsd to travel north or south for a good buy.

Many thanks/PGR

We are looking for a Walter Vdrive RV 20D for a 1982 Carver Mariner with Crusaders. If anyone has a recommendation for a good source for replacement parts of this sort, it would be appreciated. Thanks

Live in Washington DC and have recently discovered boating and Carver Aft Cabin line. When I found out a used Carver yacht was in my price range, I was elated! I've found a marina that will take me and I now need to find my first boat. I'm very interested in the Aft Cabin range, around the 40' range.



My purpose with yachting is to have a weekend getaway boat I can have a friend or two on, some venturing out into the water, but mostly a "floating weekend apartment" if that makes sense.

Needing advice. I keep finding clean water in the forward bilge, it's not a fresh water leak or any type of plumbing leak. I am wondering if it is rain water getting past my windlass and into the anchor locker. our boat sticks out of our covered slip a few feet and blowing rain definitely covers our forward deck. The anchor locker has a drain hole but I'm wondering if over time maybe a small crack or wear has developed allowing water to get into the bilge. Also what is the compartment under the ...

I have my panels and controller. My 400 Watt system is 4 100W panels and a 40A MPPT controller. I am going to have to run 2 on one side of the aft hardtop and 2 on the other side with a space in between for expansion if needed. I have the plastic corner mounts that stick on with Silkaflex(?) as the panels are also glued to them with the same. NOW, I have read a LOT about how to do this.....Series? Parallel? I was going to hook each side up in series hence having 2 24V banks, then connecting toge ...

We have a 3607 that we will be moving to a new location. For those of you who have moved your boats, did you take the tops off yourselves or have them professionally done? If you did it yourself, how challenging is it? Can someone explain the process please!! Thanks for any information.

I have the original (Seaward?) water heater, 11 gallon. It is mounted under the dinette next to the salon A/C. I know it has a heat exchanger, as we get hot water while we are underway. HOWEVER, I can’t see where any water lines come from the engine ( fresh water heat exchanger) to the water heater. AND I have looked under the seat of the dinette and could not see any hoses. Any ideas from a personal experience? Also, I am thinking of replacing with one with a mixing valve. Anyone ever replace w ...
