Looking to purchase a 530 or 570. Located in the PNW so location of boat is important to minimize transport costs. Prefer larger engines and hardtop.

Hello all. I purchased my first Carver, a 396 with Volvo Penta 8.1 GiL-E engines, about six months ago. Since then I've been having issues with the starboard engine.

Hard start-turns over, starts then quits. Does this 3-4 times then will idle.

Rough idle-not terrible but you can tell that it's not hitting on all cylinders.

Won't produce rated power - 3200 RPM is about all I can get out of it.

I typically do all the maintenance on the boat so I'm fairly mechanically inclined. Initially I thoug ...

Happy New Year!!! The plastic/rubber on the mic cord has been falling apart for a few years. Making a mess every time you use it. Contacted Ray Marine and they used to redo these but no longer. After some research it seems this is a very common problem with the 215. I finally found Max Marine electronics and they now offer a new cord or a existing used mic with new cord. I opted for the new cord for $60 and it's a go! My problem was I would have had to replace the radio with a new one and with i ...

Hello 506 owners, We were really set on a voyager as a move up boat from our Searay 44DB. I turns out that there is a 2000 506 at our marina, as a matter of fact it is occupying my slip while I look for a Voyager. Just for grins I took the wife to tour the 506 to compare to the Voyager and long story short, it looks like we may be buying the 506. It was not for sale but after speaking with the owner he has decided to sell it if we want it. I do all of my own service and repairs on my equipment ...

hello does anyone know where to purchase Gray Enterprises replacement ports?

thanks Dave

Hello, we just bought our 1984 32 Carver convertible and its great! We were folding down the dinette table in to a bed and the cushions did not seem to make sense, possibly somebody did a custom DIY. Does any body have the original dimensions for the Dinette cushions? They could use an upgrade anyways!

thanks,

Hi I am looking for a parts catalog for a Crusader 220 LH rotation engine.
Thanks

I’m buying a 1988 Carver 3607. It’s almost a local boat as it’s in Stockton and I am in Sacramento. Stockton is only about an hours drive down I-5 but it’ll be the entire day coming back on the Carver. Actually I’m planning on taking a few days at it and spending some quality time down in the Delta. I grew up water skiing and still have the 61 Chris-Craft Cavalier my parents bought new but this is my first big boat. My dad had a 1955 30 foot Owens with twin Grey Marine sixes many years ago. ...

As some of you might remember, I sold my 2006 Carver 33 SS this fall. The gentleman who bought the boat had it trucked to an inland lake off of the Tennessee River. Unfortunately, during the move, the windshield was broken during the move. The new owner (a really nice guy new to Carver and big boating in general) is looking for a new one and was able to source a new one for around $10k. However, he wants to continue looking to see if he could source one at a lower price.



He has spoken with Carve ...
