Hello all,
I just spent quite a few hours over the last week fixing blisters and then bottom painting the boat (what fun!)
My question is should I paint the props and rudders? It looks like they may have been painted before. They are off the boat now for transport and I cleaned them completely.
Looking around the marina I am in, it seems to be a 50/50 split on painting them.
What say you all?

My first post to this forum. I am going through pre-purchase inspections and survey on an '88 32' Mariner. Mercruisers with about 1600 hours use on Georgian Bay. I would appreciate all tips and advice about problem areas to be on the lookout for.
Thanks for all responses. George

Hi Everyone,

Just picked up my new to me 1989 3207 Aft and am having trouble with both heads.

It doesn’t seem like any water is getting to the heads, they basically explode in your face when you pump (both are manual, one a Jabsco' the other not sure), can some one help direct me to the location of the Seacocks, just want to make sure they are open before any next steps are taken. Thanks

Her is a stumper for me. My Genset has always been very reliable. However, today, it shut down suddenly. It restarted after a few moments, and ran for a short time, and shut again. Surges when first starting and then smooths out. I checked fuses, and also connections. Plenty of water flow out the exhaust. I tried a spray of gas from a spray bottle to restart but crank and then no start. I have replaced the capacitor last year, and again, no issues. Changed the gas filter. I use a Quick Silver 35 ...

Sorry about this but have you ever heard of this what is in the photo? I got it today. Left dock and fueled up. No start at fuel dock. Dead starting battery however fired right up at slip. Switched to the house bank and off we went. So much for less than a foot and slight gusts to 20 mph. More like a full fledged gale. Made it 2/3 way to Cleveland Light and turned around after taking water over the bridge. Pulled into Kingman’s and took a mooring for the night. Put a meter on the battery and ye ...

Hey Carver Fans!



Been here reading for a year or so, and have found everything through search (thanks!!) until now.



My 2015 C37 needs an electronics upgrade. For some reason Carver put Raymarine in with Mercury Vessel view, so it isn't "really" integrated. No waypoint tracking to the axium autopilot as VesselView's exclusive deal for the nmea2000 gateway (for waypoints) is with Simrad only.



Anyway, I'll be adding new Simrad screens and radar, so here's the question.....



Does anyone know the cable ...

We recently bought a Carver Riviera and it does not have a fridge.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good 12 v fridge? The space for the fridge is about the size of a big mini fridge.
Thank you!

What are the differences in the 390CPMY and the 400CPMY? I am thinking just the size of the swim platform? They look IDENTICAL on the inside. Any ideas? Mostly concerned with interior measurement of flooring area.

Can anyone tell me the height of a 1997 Carver 350 Mariner with the arch and windshield removed? Trying to transport the boat and need this information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
