Good day everyone on the Carver Forum.

We are new to the forum.

We bought our 2004 466MY last summer with the intention of doing the Great American Loop

this year, 2020. However, due to the current circumstances it looks like we will have to put it off

until 2021 because we are Canadians and will most likely not be able to make it thru the Illinois

River system before the lock closures.

We are thinking we will do the Down East Loop this summer which looks like an amazing journey.

Our question is the ...

I have to replace 2 cracked lenses on the bedroom windows. Are there any tips on how to remove the pin and spring that go thru the hinges holding everything together. Don't want to break anything and have to replace the whole unit. See pics below.

Thank you

Hi All:



I’m an avid boater (waterskiing, runabouts, etc) and I’m taking the plunge to buy a yacht (too old to waterski any more LOL) I really like the Carver 444 and I’m looking at one (online) that’s a 2001. Once this COVID19 stuff is over and I can venture out, I’m going to take a look at her. Anything I should be looking for or weary of? Any good questions I should ask?



She’s only fresh water and stored covered. From the photos, it looks like the hull/bottom needs a new paint job.



Thanks in ...

We have a carver 2866. Twin 305s quick question for some of you crusader experts on here these 3 newer pics are both raw water cooled motors without heat exchangers!! Why would they run the hose from the same exact thermostat housing on both 2 different places on the manifold on both of these engines both engines only have one hose going to them what is the purpose of going 2 different places with the same hose. First pic is are our motor style now wanting to up grade to new style

A long few days but here she is. Shiny as new.

Happy Easter everyone!
Had a chance to fish a bit, no luck. Found out that the new Oakland A's stadium is being built across the way from me...pretty cool. Hard to see in the second pic but the cranes are there.

Has anyone had an issue with their Malber dryer where the wires melt near the capacitor? This is where the power cord enters the dryer in the back. Anyone had a similar failure, and better yet fixed it? I'm hoping a competent appliance repairman can rewire it.

I Have noticed a lot of people on the Carver forum asking about different mat systems for there swim platforms. I just had installed SeaDek from "SC Wake" they come out to your boat a laser measure your swim platform, they did a unbelievable job and I highly recommend this company, I live in Chicago if you need any info on the installers they handle the Great Lakes area let me know I will be glad to pass on there info. Here are before & after pics.
This project was $2400.00

This boat is listed on Yachtworld for sale in Palmetto, FL. Her name is Still Salty. Does anyone know the history of this boat?

Competition is slowly fading away up here as MLMarinas has finalized the purchase of 4 more marinas bringing their total to somewhere around 9 in our general area of Ontario. There is another one private owner who has two of his own.....one being quite large.......
