Post Engine Synchronizer Gauge


Hi, We own a 97' 355 AC with twin Crusader 454 Xli's. My question regards the synchronizer gauge at the helm. Where does the input to drive the gauge come from? The Gauge is always pointing in one direction or the other, regardless of engine speed. Does the signal come from the tachs or elsewhere? Any help would be appreciated, I believe the tach's to be accurate based on what I hear from the engines. Or does the signal come from the engines? This is just more annoying than anything else.

Post Clunking in prop shaft at low RPM


Has anyone experienced a loud clunking in the prop shaft at low RPM. When adding just a little power it goes away and runs great. We greased the zerk fittings and that helped a little bit but it came back.

The boat is a Carver 36 gas engines.

Post First Carver - 1990 Santego 3867


Aloha!

Corvette enthusiast that is joining the nautical world to escape the insanity of landlovers and their far out agendas.



My husband probably thinks im on my 4th mid-life crisis at the ripe age of 34, but im really just searching for his next tinker project. He is an aeronautical engineer and from my boating childhood, I knew this purchase is the gift that keeps on giving, aka money pit. We will never run out of things to work on with this project.



If anyone out there has experience with this ...

But in case I need to purchase a new frig, what size did the 2001 350 Mariner come with?

Post Lithium vs. led battery


1998 400 CMY, has (2) 454 7.4l mercury gas engines. Access is very difficult to the last (2) batteries. What are the PRO's & CON's of switching to Lithium batteries? Assuming it can even be done.

All (3) current batteries need/want to be replaced.

Thanks in advance,
D&D

Post Aft Window 3807


We have a 1989 3807 Aft Cabin. The aft cabin has a window at the back. It is sealed. Just curious if this has been replaced or was it original? A friend has a 1990 35 ft with an aft window that opens. Thinking this would be our “escape” in case of fire, etc. any thoughts?

Post Kohler 6.5


As many of you have known, I have had some recent issues with my 6.5 Honda powered Kohler genset. I believe it to be a 6.5CZ (per the build sheet) The ID plate is missing, so it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I have pretty much seem to have it running and not shutting off.

Post New Owner


Hello! New owner here. I just bought my first Carver. A 1990 Mariner 3297. She needs some work, but the technical threads I've read on this forum seem very well informed and the users seem very happy to help. I'm hoping to get my boat working properly and continue to be an active member here for a long time.

Post Airsep filters


I cleaned and oiled the airsep filters but I think I applied too much oil. Had a fair amount of excess which has drained onto oil pads.

I am concerned about damage to the turbochargers.

Thoughts and opinions welcome.
