The Carver Owner's Manual is good, but very light on schematics, diagrams and plans - although the elecrics are well documented. As a new owner, I like to get to know my toys as well as I can, and frequently find myself baffled about some of the changes that previous owners may have instituted (mostly boats, admittedly).

Here's what I'd like to know; is there a sound source for full schematic representations of all of the originally-installed machinery, equipment etc on a Carver 2827? It's all ...

On the outside of the rear sliding door on the 444, there is a rubberized "white filler molding" around the frame of the door on the aft cockpit. It has gotten sticky & has discolored. Does anyone know where to get this?

Hello to all members.



I am working on a Santa Cruz 2566 that I've owned for 4 years now with a few upgrades.



Issue at hand is finding a window seal for the side quarter glass set in a wooden window frame.

It would seem that someone had used marine caulking to hold the glass and seal it in place at some point in its life. The wooden window frames are routered to except a rubber seal, much like the rear galley window that swings down, and out to the deck.



Does anyone know a part number? Or a company ...

Ok so you guys are going to love this and some maybe very jealous haha... any who long story short here I was given the opportunity to own a 1987 carver santego for FREE...... yes free title was just signed over to me yesterday haha.

I plan to strip the paint this fall and paint the bottom next spring. What is the best process to prep the bottom after the blasting and what is a economical paint and base coat to use . In the past I have used West Marine CPP but I have never stripped all the paint off. And before adding a base coat what needs to be done if there are minor abrasions air bubbles after the blasting process



I’m looking for options that will not break the bank as I may sell the boat next year.

Where can I find a direct replacement for the rear hatch on my 1982 Carver 3607 Aft Cabin. The plexiglass was shattered during transport last week and I have not had much luck locating a replacement. For the moment I will cut a piece of tented plexiglass and attach it with sealant. This will suffice until I can locate a replacement is possible. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello forum friends, I was wondering if anyone has tips on how to make sure the grey water tanks get fully pumped out and as well the fresh water gets filled up. Currently my 37 coupe is showing half full on both but I recently had the grey water pumped out and the fresh water filled. Anyone out there having a similar issue with their indicator lights?

I’ve got a 1991 3207 aft cabin which I believe originally had three AC units. Forward, mid and aft as designated by the factory labels on my breaker panel.

Currently I have a 16,000 BTU unit midship beside the refrigerator and a 6,000 BTU in the aft cabin.

Does anyone know where the forward unit would be located in a factory install?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,



I hope to close on a 355 AC soon, and upon my first visit, it appears that the helm navigation instruments are archaic, likely original. I think I saw a DataMarine GPS Chartplotter and a Furuno Radar. Don’t know about the autopilot.



Given that I am a “navigations techie”, a prior sailor, but new to Carver, what do Carver owners with boats in this vintage usually replace these instruments with? I am married to my iPad for use as a Chartplotter. Given that, would do you guys recommend as hel ...

We need to know the type of propeller on our 1981 Carver 3007 Aft Cabin. Any help is appreciated.
