I was thinking that my boat was beginning to feel neglected since I have spent most of my time on the jetski. Not wanting to anger the boating gods I decided to take the boat out for the weekend. Since launching May 1st I had only motored from the launch site to my dock.



So, Friday (yesterday) I fired up the engines and headed out for my Shakedown Cruise 2020. I left Gibraltar Boat Yard and headed out onto the Detroit River. I could have gone upriver the short way through the Trenton Channel but ...

Can anyone tell me which breakers I need to order by brand and number, or are there different brands that would fit. I need a 20 amp for the air conditioner pump and a and 30 amp for the air conditioners , these are AC rocker breakers in the electrical panel , one side red one side black. I know very little about electrical so please dont get to technical.
Thank you

Hi all. I am new to Carver boats having just purchased a 1986 2757 Montego. I have some work to do on it, but its generally sound. I have heard horror stories about the Merc 190 engines, but the previous owner and the marina that services the boat told me that the engines were in good running order and do not have the coolant or charging issues I have heard about. It will be in the water at the end of the weekend and I am hoping to enjoy it with my family. If anyone has advice about this pa ...

Hi! I’ve been researching all I can to solve my issue. I have a 1998 Carver 370 Vogayer with a Vacuflush system. After flushing the toilet, during its pumping cycle waste/poop comes out of the side vent. The tank looks like it’s empty to 1/4 full. I just purchased the boat and working through troubleshooting but hopefully someone here has some insight. I found out the hard way. Moored on a dock with people sitting next to our boat, flush, then waste all over the dock 2 feet away.



Any ideas ...

Hi and Please Help!
I may be worried about nothing but I really think I need a cover to enclose my sliding glass door on my 1989 Carver 3467 due to the angle of the door. I am worried about rain getting in the boat if we get caught out on the hook. Can ANYONE tell me if I am overreacting or is there a cover I can get that will go over the entrance door?

Thanks for ANY input.

It’s finally time to replace the 20 year old Marine Air System in my aft cabin. Current system is 12000 BTU... I found a good Dometic replacement that is 16000 BTU (the same size that is in my salon). This aft AC unit also vents into the salon, which on hot days, could use the help. My question is, can my one 30amp panel run this new Ac (per Dometic pulls max 6.6amps) along with my other AC and the AC water pump? The math says it would be fine, but I am wondering if anyone has done this? 12k ...

Had a goofy thought today.
Is it possible and if so what would be needed to trailer an 88 Santego?
Type/size of trailer and what would you poull it with?

Thanks

I have a 1988 Carver 3867 Santego and the pressure regulator check valve has now began to leak on the stern. Any ideas where to get a replacement? Thank you

Hello All,
My wife and I just bought our first Carver this evening. A 1989 3467 Santego. First thing I did was find this forum so that we can gain any and all information about our 'new' boat. All info appreciated. I really know nothing about Carvers.

My 2001 Carver 350 Mariner ca.e with the Raymarine setup - LS70, auto pilot, depth, radar.

The LS70 is toast.

The boat also came with a new Sinrad NSS12 but no radar dome for it.

Is it worth it to fix the older Raymarine system?

Or just go with the Simrad and forget about radar.

I do most of my boating within a near radius of the shore and dont really venture too far out into the gulf.

I hate to get rid of the radar but it sure seems like a much older system.

I may just sell the dome and keep the ...
