Wife and I are first timers. We have had ski and pontoon boats but nothing larger. We are looking at a 1992 350 aft cabin. It appears to be in good shape and well maintained by the three owners. I understand the two questions below depend on lots of factors but just looking for some general information as a starting point. Two questions:



1- Hour meters on the two Mercruiser 454 engines show 930 hours. What is the useful life of these engines and what are the engine parts that will need attention ...

Hi all, I am looking for help on how to remove the aft, port side slider window on my 1997 325 Carver in order to replace the zip pile since its mostly gone and moss is growing in it. I took all the exterior screws out of the frame, however, nothing I do will budge the frame to come off. Are there other screw I don’t know about or is it just the adhesive holding the window in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to break or chip the gel coat. Thank you

Good day All! This may be a stupid question but I am new to Dual Helm controls and can't find anything about how Salon throttles should be set when operating from the flybridge and vice-versa. Assuming the shift control should be in the neutral position but throttle control seems to elude me. Can anyone explain how the Carver system works?
Thanks for any help.

Hi all, I have a 2001 530 with a Besenzoni hydraulic davit lift. Two questions... Do you know the max weight that the crane can safely lift? Second, what is the max weight that can be safely stored on the cockpit roof?

Sorry, I'm away from my manuals and I can't find the info online.

Thanks!

My 2000 396 AC had a problem last year while transmitting. As we were getting the boat ready, we noticed frayed cable at the antenna. How hard is it to run new cable from the antenna to the radio?

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Looking to replace the original Apelco 360 depth finder and Transducer. Has anyone installed a recent “In-Hull” transducer and Depth finder / GPS plotter ?

We just purchased a new to us 355 AC and would like to add a TV to the aft deck. Can any of you post pictures of how you have mounted TV’s on your deck. I would like to have it on the port side above the wet bar / ice maker. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
