As a Unlimited Gold Member, I recently contacted BoatUS for the first time for a tow. Yes it happens to everyone sometime. This tow was for a haul out and repair, and was from my home dock to a boat yard approximately 5 miles away. My Carver was disabled but not in peril, and was in need of some work covered through my insurer. The BoatUS Service Agreement states in part " Unlimited Gold Service Level, Paid Service includes payment of the cost to tow Member's disabled boat, for the purpose of re ...

I'm happy to joint the Carver Owners site and value your ideas and input as Carver owners.



My wife and I are considering purchase of a 1987 27‘ Carver Montego Twin Cabin. We are looking for a boat with the following considerations:

- twin engine boat for maneuverability and backup in case one engine goes down

- smaller engines to reduce weight and increase fuel efficiency (we don't plan on needing higher speeds)

- ability to trailer shorter distances (50 miles max) as we don't live on water, and are ...

My marina which is about 100% houseboats hauled my 1993 300 Sedan and put it on wood blocks on the four corners instead of on the keel. Is that OK? When I first saw the boat last winter, the then owner had it sitting on keel blocks with the jacks bracing the sides.

Frost on the dock and 0C this morning. Nice and toasty in the boat though. Temp is already at 12C now and water is like glass. Maybe the last cruise this weekend but scheduling for another weekend depending on weather.

Seriously...my boat owner's manual is a POS (piece o shit). Don't know what they were thinking in the 80s (mine is a 1983 3607) but it's f'd up. No schematics at all. I don't even know where my batteries are. Sad to say. Any help out there
???

Quite a pickle. On my last trip out found that my starboard engine will not go forward but still goes reverse. The cable seems to move forward and reverse. Checked the transmission fluids and starboard was black and port was pink. Clearly replaced fluids in starboard. Still starboard will not go forward. Any advice?

We would like to say hi to the member's of the forum from Grimsby , Ontario.

We now own a 1996 Carver 320 , really have enjoyed the first 8 weeks or so but am still having some difficulty docking on a day with a brisk wind. I have gone through some of the basic systems and have found that this site and contributors have already became an invaluable tool. I would like to thank the board in advance for the novice questions I will definitely be posting. Cheers and safe sailing.

For those of you that don't like a bumpy anchorage......I know we have some pilots here, what say you !!!!

I need a new starter for my 1994 Trojan 370 express.
It is the starboard motor.
Is is a right hand motor or a left hand motor?

Hi,

I am looking for the piston assembly kit for my engines, attached is a diagram.

Engine - Yanmar 6LPA-STP

Local Yanmar disti only provides new pistons, which is very $$$$$.

Let me know if you have any ideas ?

Thanks
