Hello everyone!

My wife and I are the very proud owners of a 2002 564 CPMY on our local lake outside of Atlanta. We bought the boat this past October and it is in exquisite condition!

I do have some questions, but i will post those on a different thread. Just wanted to introduce ourselves and see if anyone has any useful advice on this particular model on things to watch out for.

Thanks for all of the future help!

1988, 3807. Starboard fuel tank was replace in 2012, way before I bought it. Port fuel tank (both aluminum by the way) is original. I wonder if one gave up the ghost, why not replace them both. Now, I am waiting on that other shoe to drop. It appears fine, of course I can’t see the bottom where corrosion would occur. What would you guys do? Don’t fix it, if it’s not broken? Go ahead and drain it an pull it? By the way, our marina is at a state park. No mechanics and we have to travel through a ...

So in October 2020, I made the decision to buy my first Carver a 2001 356 Aft Cabin. Being the type of guy I am I always seem to buy a project to refurbish. I guess it’s in my blood. So I purchased the boat livin the dream through a repo auction. I had a survey done and got a pretty health list of things that need to be done, but most are things I feel comfortable doing as I have been building , fabricating and restoring vehicles for years. The boat is currently in Charleston SC, and I live in C ...

I see a lot of people call them sliding doors, but they _usually_ are actually rolling doors. And mine were awful. I didn't see exactly what I was looking for in terms of a "how-to" for fixing them. Maybe it exists and I just missed it. In any event, this is what I did in case it might help someone else in the future. I hope someone finds it useful, and I'm sorry a couple of the photos are sideways, but I can't be bothered to fix them.



First, I was told that I should be able to simply a ...

Purchased my first Boat in October. She's a 2000 350 Mariner. Looking forward to getting out this spring. Have a lot of questions.

Alright everyone-
I need some advice.
Took the galley counters out of my 23 Montego to replace them and found the cabinets are rotten. I found where the leak came from but I am going to have to replace the cabinets. Got any ideas? I am including some pics of what they were before.

My mechanic is asking me if I want Globe Run Dry impellers in the water pumps. Has anyone used these and have an opinion? He installed some in a go fast boat three seasons ago and said they were going to change, and the old impellers looked and felt new. I know the owner he is talking about, and that guy is one of those full throttle types. I am thinking I can get multiple seasons if the impellers are what they claim they are. I did see some other users complain about them, but that was from 201 ...

Hello,
We just bought a 2000 406 aft and joined this forum to look for much needed answers. We’re in Fort Myers and really excited to learn about our new boat!

Hi all,



I'm going the change all of the fuel/water separator elements. I have Crusader 454s with the separators mounted low on the engines. There are no fuel shut off valves on the gas tanks or fuel lines. Do I trust the anti-siphon valves to work or would you disconnect the fuel hoses from the tanks before removing the filters? I rather not mess with the fuel lines if I don't have to.



The generator filter is mounted high up so I don't have to worry about siphoning at that point.



Thanks,

Barry

Hi all,

Whatever fastens the swim ladder seems to be missing and I am using a bungie cord to hold the ladder closed. What was the original part that is missing? What is the best fix for this?

Thanks,
Barry
