I've been working with New Wire Marine on ideas for redoing the dash on my 360 Sport Sedan. Unfortunately, the dash is broken up into a lot of different areas which makes having any kind of modern system difficult. My main question for the collective wisdom here, has anyone replaced the steam gauges on the top panel with digital displays or have any ideas?

So far the only display that looks like it might fit is the Simrad IS35 since the maximum vertical clearance on that panel is about 4.25 inch ...

Hello Team,



I am seriously considering removing our Red Dot heater and replacing with a more useful Webasto or Wallas system on our 355. Would be much more useful for our purposes. Frankly, there has never been a reason to run our Red Dot while underway.



I do realize I'll need new 4" ducting and a new through hole for the vent hose. Our 355 has 6BT Cummins engines, so diesel is nearby.



Has anyone done this? Are there any hurdles or issues I should be aware of? Or is this a decommissioning to st ...

For anyone considering an electronics upgrade, here’s what I found and conquered.

Bought the 2004 366 a few months ago on a lake I’ve never boated and the PO that promised to run through all the features of the boat and show me around the lake…well, doubt I’ll see him again. The existing (and I assume original) Raymarine C70 didn’t display anything but lines when I seatrialed. Also no maps Compact Flash card either). Fired up perfectly in the survey. Finally figured out they have a known conne ...

Hey Carver community!
Planning a stopover in Rome this summer with our Carver 42 during our Mediterranean cruise. I'd love to take the opportunity to visit the Roman Forum and Colosseum. Has anyone here done this excursion before? I've seen there are tourist passes and skip-the-line tickets (Roman forum tickets), but I'm not sure what to choose. Also, what's the best port to dock that's not too far from these sites?

I have a client interested in a 2002 Carver 406. They are interested in having a washer/dryer installed. I have seen on the 430s that a washer combo can be installed in the forward cabin in the "night stand" by the bed. Does anybody have any information on where a washer/dryer combo may be or has been installed on a 406?

Hi all, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Paul Simos. I live in North Carolina and must first admit that I am a yacht broker. It gets worse. I am also not only not a Carver owner but a sailor, and I have never owned a proper motor yacht. I'm glad I got that off my chest. I also promise never to mention my employer or try to peddle my wares here. I do deal largely with motor yachts that have or will complete the Great Loop and, over time, have gained great fondness and respect for the Carv ...

Found this forum while searching for things about my new 2687. Overall seems to be a very sound boat and will be working on some things over the winter to prepare for the warm weather and get her in the water for the summer.



I have found one possible concern on a stringer that may or not be an issue some advice may be needed to see if its an issue or not and a repair or let it go.



On the port stringer under the motor mount area the fiberglass is not bonded to the stringer side. It is still in onc ...

Anyone have the canvas windows that are for the cockpit on a 1999 404? Even if they are in poor shape, I need them to make new ones, thanks.
