The forward deck hatch on my 1987 3607 (in the V-berth) needs to be replaced; the parts person at Marquis gave me a Bomar p/n that Bomar/Pompanette does not recognize and cannot offer a suitable replacement. I really don’t want to cut a larger opening to accommodate the next size larger hatch but am not finding a replacement of any of the common brands (Lewmar, etc.) that call for the same hole size — which I measure to be 20 1/2” square. I’d like to use a lewmar Ocean or something similar if ...

My starboard engine is running hotter than my port with some steam coming out, just as the recent post by RickieT . Both engines normally run 160. Crusader 6.0 mpi 2006 with 400 hours.



When I winterized, the starboard engine took a much longer time to empty the antifreeze from the bucket.



I haven’t checked anything yet. I plan to keep the boat. I am planning a trip down to Orange Beach Al from Chattanooga this spring. I will be in salt water for two weeks. I have to fix the problem before I leave ...

There she is ready for whatever winter may toss her way.



Waiting for spring to arrive.

Hello Carver World. Hope y'all can chime in and tell me if I am headed in the wrong direction. Was thinking of installing underwater lights designed to fit in the drain plug hole. Got some info from a mechanic friend of mine that the output was very cone shaped and not what most people appreciated. He recently installed 2 sets of lights that were very economically priced. The owner of the boat is extremely happy. The lights are TH Marine Xenon Extreme. Not very big, 3 1/2" X 1 1/2", priced ...

I inspected my bilge blowers today - on the C530 there are a total of 4 - 2 each port and starboard. With the ignition key "on" I noticed that 1 blower comes on each site - and it's the outside fan on both port & starboard. The 2nd fan does not come on. I then started the engines - and only 1 blower on each side remains on. I have not been able to see all 4 bilge blowers running at once.



All breaker switches on turned on. The C530 does not have a bilge blower switch - they come on autom ...

I have 6 martyr 1.5" aluminum shaft anodes for sale, brand new never used.
I will sell them for $40.00 shipped to you. If shipping is more than $40.00 price will equal shipping cost.

Let me know if you can use these.
Thanks
Tom

I am looking at several Carver boats for sale and a few of the Carver 355/356's have an extra bunk in the forward state room. It is on the port side and it is above the level of the standard full size bed (see pic). Does anyone know if this is an after market item that could be possibly purchased, an option that was added when new, or a custom build that someone put in? Thanks for any insight!

Hi Guys!



Hope you can help: I have a 1994 Carver 390 CPMY. It’s Christmastime, and I have lights up on my boat. I’d like to simply plug them into the outside outlet that’s on the sun deck (port side, just to the left of the sliding companionway door), but the outlet is dead. It’s pretty badly corroded from rainwater intrusion that got in around the weathertight cover, but when I removed the outlet and tested the wire for power to the outlet - nothing!



All other outlets on the boat are working fine ...

Hi all,
I've had a main water pump go down that supplies water for 4 A/C units on my boat.

I found a replacement at Grainger for the Dayton 9MWR7 motor portion of the pump assy but now I need to find a new impeller and shaft seals for the pump portion. There is no OEM info on the pump castings.
Has anyone had to replace these yet on their boat ?

Thanks !
Jim

Just removed in perfect working order. Plan on replacing with something a little newer. Feel free to call me with any questions,
