Hey folks.

The 15 year old Clarion speakers are distorting and its time to upgrade. I am certain many of you faced similar situations and am interested in how you approached it. As an older system the receiver is not 'bluetooth' capable. That would be a good thing to have given today's streaming technology. I understand that there is a bluetooth receiver that can be plugged into the auxiliary port of the Clarion that will enable this function,

Did you simply replace the speakers? ( 2 on bridg ...

Hello Gang,



My wife and I just closed on a pristine '98 355 Aft Cabin today!



They survey and sea trials revealed nothing but great news and we can't wait to get rolling.



Made the unthinkable move from our beloved sailboat of 15 years. Looking forward to many great experiences on our new Carver.



Just donated to the site this evening and I'll be bombarding all of you with many questions ahead.



OK 1st question: Does anyone have some photos or clever ideas on how to retrofit the goofy angled cabinet on ...

As anyone removed the interior carpet and replaced it with a different material? Interested to know how it came out and what material you used and what you did with s 'll the hatch seams in the saloon.

Hi

Not yet purchased the boat, doing my due diligence, I have vied the vessel and would love to own it, its running, but has a lot of superficial dings and dents and corrosions as you would expect, Can any of you advice me where i can get after market parts primarily things like switches, sink taps, handles, wooden trims and so on, Mechanical it is sound, esthetically, it looks tiered, I want to bring it back to being a Lady again if i purchase.

Thanks

I know a heck of a lot of boaters use these so figured I would post this here for all to see. Seems they do not like salt water. https://www.consumerreports.org/recalls ... enerators/

Does anyone know a reliable Canadian company that can come and clean the engine room bilge (boat located on Western Lake Ontario)? I attempted to clean it myself but found it too difficult to crawl around let alone reach those tight areas that only a mini-me could reach. Hoping to clean up the mess the previous owner left behind.

Hey everyone. Its time to replace the steering wheel which as certainly seen better days.
Does anyone have any 'tips or tricks' for getting off the wheel that's been in place for 15 years?
Thanks and stay safe.

Hi All!

I'm new to this forum and am in the process of purchasing a used Carver 57 Voyager. I've narrowed down my search to three different boats. One of them has a hardtop, but it doesn't have as many options as the other two that have a bimini top. All three have full flybridge enclosures. What's your opinion on hardtops? Is it worth buying the boat that has one and know I may have to put in money down the road for things the hardtop boat doesn't have such as updated electronics, a water maker ...

Hi Group, I've got a transmission question. We fired the engines today on our Carver. The Starboard prop shaft did not spin when the engine was running while in neutral. The Port prop shaft does spin while the engine is running. It seems to be in neutral because the engine will start but the shaft spins fairly fast. Is this normal? I'm thinking that if the transmission is in neutral the shaft should not be turning. There is no load on the props as the boat is on a trailer. I had to remove the fl ...

Any information on the 47MY available? What years they were built? How many are out there? Bought ours 2 years ago and wanting to learn more about the model.
