year 2000 carver 450 voyager pilothouse year 2000 tamd 74P low has boost black smoke starboard side only. port side approx 35psi boost starboard side approx 25psi boost. clean air filters swapped ECMs, no leaks. i think either wastegate or turbo issue. if not the turbo i assume next step is to clean charge air cooler. Is there anything else i should check?

I have a 2006 Carver Voyager 46 with Volvo D9-500's with EVC-B. As of last year I can no longer get the error codes when the warning lights show a code. I follow the correct procedure to hold down the correct EVC button for 5 seconds but it will no longer blink out any codes. It was blinking out codes for the last 4 years but no longer. I even turned off all batteries for 4 days and still not working. Any suggestions ?

Good day everyone.



I am in the process of acquiring the above named Carver, specifically for doing the Loop. My only concern is the bridge clearance for the hardtop version. I do know that electronics will need to be removed but I'm concerned that the hardtop version may still not clear the lowest bridge on the loop.



Is there anyone in this forum with this first hand experience on the Loop with a Carver 450 - Hardtop Version?



I think it will be a challenge to get an actual accurate measurement ...

Hey everyone! My name is Israel swartz, I’m from North Carolina, I just picked up a 1989 carver montego 2557, it’s the first cabin cruiser I have owned so this is all new to me, trying to figure it all out as I go, love the boat so far!, after getting the boat and looking at more 2557s up online I noticed that some are a little different then mine like the cabin is set up different and some are the same and also the back of the boat near the swim platform some 2557s go up higher in the back then ...

First I would like to say I'm excited to have this boat and look forward to all your comments and input.



I know that it has been beat to death about the switch and the estimated cost if I have it don't by someone but I do not plan on having it done by anyone I'm doing all work my self.



So wouldnliek to know what equipment as far as transmission, any other big ticket items I would need to buy.



I have already two LBZ engines ready to use. Props I'm ready to buy the shafts I will be having machined ...

Hello friends,



This is my first boat ever -> 1987 Carver 3297 project boat.



The metal frame around the windshield and the side windows has faded pretty bad, so, this last weekend I started on the port side, I cleaned off the metal and applied my first coat of gloss black…..



Honestly, it looks great from a far but up close, you can see the brush marks….should I sand the metal down after the first coat and re-apply a second coat or should I use the rust oleum spray can and spray it on, and allevi ...

Went to start yesterday and the starter would engage, engine try to spin over, starter disengage. Engine would turn about 10 degrees before stopping. I took a screw driver and manually spun the engine to make sure nothing was locked up. Seems fine.

Tried again, same problem. If you hold the start button, it will show CC1 on the status display while trying to crank. Then display goes blank when starter stops. If you keep holding the start the crank cycle repeats ...

1987 28ft voyager w/ twin 230 mercruisers I've replaced belts 50 hrs ago now they squel on startup for 2-3 minutes using napa gates belts. Also increasing load quickly makes them chirp. they seam too skinny for the pulleys. how would I find the correct belts and are there better belts available? Bothe engines do it but port is the worst.

Hello just bought our 2008 Carver 41 CMY ( which is now wrapped for the winter) and I don't know what I don't know so please help .

We have a single 50 amp male connection at the boat attached to a Y splitter into two 30s. Problem is the boat only works when both are plugged into 2 plugs at the pedestals.

We have a line 1 and line 2 setting on the panel but not sure if that has the ability to make the boat work with only one 30 plugged in and we just regulate power.

Any insight ?

I was looking at installing either a new inverter (original one was only like 600W and is 30 yrs old, doesn't appear to even work) or a combination charger/inverter. After looking at info on batteries in general I think I have some other issues and would appreciate any recommendations or feedback. This is on a 1995 440 aft cabin.

For starters, my boat only appears to have two starting batteries in the battery box. These provide power for ...
