Post 2001 396 Radar Replacement


Hi Everyone,
I need to replace my original Furuno Radar on my 396.
I'm looking for and inexpensive unit as I no longer go offshore, mostly Barnegat Bay to Atlantic City, NJ.
I would like to do this myself along with my son. Can anyone give some advice as to start this project?
Which ever unit I purchase I will be buying a new compatible multi function GPS unit after the radar is done.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Post 3607 height


I am in the process of purchasing a 1987 Carver 3607 aft cabin model. The boat will need to be moved about 400 kms. At the moment, I am trying to find the overall height of this model and not having any luck. It is not possible to do the measuring myself because I live far away. Also, since it is winter, the boat is buried under snow. I am looking for the measurements from the top of the helm on the fly bridge to the bottom keel. If someone would have any information to share, please reach out.

Post Want To Buy - Carver Sojourn 44


I am actively looking for a Carver Sojourn 44 to buy. Cash in hand, serious buyer. I have owned a Carver Mariner for 15 years and am looking to upgrade and the Sojourn is the model I have decided on.



The only two criteria are:

1. Must have the Crusaider 8.1 engines - NO PODS

2. Freshwater



I am in Colorado but will coordinate shipping from anywhere in the US for the right boat!



Please send any details/photos of Sojourn you have that you are interested in selling.



Thanks!

Post New boat and new here


Hello, we just bought a 1995 330 Mariner and are going to spend the next 6 months updating a few things before we move aboard this fall. She’s in pretty good condition but needs a little lovin. I’m sure we’ll be perusing a lot of posts and probably posting a few new ones as we dig in. Thanks in advance for the knowledge and wisdom!

Cheers, Ben and Rosie

Post Weird battery wiring


Ok, I’ve been able to figure out and address most of the “previous Owner” changes but this one still has me baffled. A PO had a damn nice JL Audio stereo installed and was clearly professionally done complete with two 5ch amps, subs, and two very expensive Stinger AGM batteries cleanly wired (and fused) in parallel as its own bank so as not to pull down the others. Here’s the puzzler that I’m hoping the electricians here can explain. They ran very heavy gauge Pos and Neg cables from the Stinger ...

Post 110V boat in a 220v world/Going solar


I’m looking for someone who has a 350 Mariner that’s wired for 220v. If you do, could you send me a link to your wiring diagram?

I have my 350 Mariner 110v boat overseas and have been using modified tool transformers as step-down isolation transformers. It’s worked great, but my microwave is getting old and I’ll probably replace the original 24-year-old AC with a newer variable-speed 12v AC (Mabru). The Charles battery charger still works, but Charles is out of business, so I can upgrade to a new ...

Post 366 engine room light replacement


Ok. Give up. How the H E double hockey sticks do you get to the aft engine room wall to replace the light bulbs or work with any of the electrical systems? I honestly think the entire exhaust would have to come out to get to either side and that can’t be right, right? Port side has a light and both chargers with the muffler damn near touching them. Stbd has its own light and all the switches and breakers and it’s own muffler blocking too. I even figured out how to pull up the stairs but the ex ...
