I have a 1991 3608 Aft Cabin with twin 454 crusaders. I have upper and lower helm stations and would like to lubricate the both the throttle and transmission cables. I am trying to understand the best method and any specialty tools that may be required. Thanks.

Tomorrow going to view a 2007 Voyager 52 Volvo D-9s. 2500 hours. records for the last 5 years. New turbos in 2023. Boat has been in charter for at least last 3 years. Aftercoolers and heat exchangers serviced June 2025.

I'm used to Cummins 6CTA8.3 and some what suspicious of Volvo. I m in Seattle so is boat.

Any comments on reliability of D-9s , maintenance and repair issues, ?

Recommendations for a really good Volvo Mechanic/engineer in this area?



Thanks for any Help whatsoever,

Jim Miller

I'm not even sure what to call this piece, but it's a painted aluminum insert through which the engine room blowers take suction. The clips visible on the side hold a vinyl pad which I've removed. I can't see any mounting hardware that attaches this to the fiberglass hull. Has anyone ever seen these removed? Desperately needs recoating and I'd like to remove them and do it if possible.

Good Day All,



Reaching out to the community for help in sourcing a st'bd side replacement muffler for our 1997 320 Voyager.



The original muffler was manufactured by Naqualift. This is a four inch, two in, one out horizontal setup. Engines are Crusader 350XL's.

Have reached out to Great Lakes Skipper, Marine Parts Source as well as other distributor's. They are unable to cross reference this it seems.

The Carver part number is 5111701. Any help or advice on where to head next would be greatly apprec ...

Hello everyone! I’m new to the forum. Nice to e-meet you all!



I own a 1995 carver aft cabin. I was using appliances on the port side and I believe I tripped the breaker. I went outside and made sure the shore power was working, turned switches off and on. On the panel, I only have a Shore #1 breaker which works supplying power to the starboard side (volts), however, the amps go slightly up for the port side and go back to 0.

GFCI outlets can’t be reset for port side but starboard side ones work fi ...

2025 My Season By The Numbers



2025 was a good year. I traded in my 22 Stingray 182 SC for a 23 Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 DLX pontoon demo boat with a 115 HP Mercury Pro XS outboard at the Detroit Boat Show in February. Price was right. I never saw myself as a pontoon boat owner until my Son purchased one in 2019 and I found I liked the stability a pontoon boat has along with the room to move around.



I did most of my boating on the Detroit River, Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair. I did trailer up to ...

Hello! We have a 1993 Carver 440 aft cabin twin Cat 3116 engines that we are planning on cruising the Bahamas with. Has anyone taken their 440 down south as far as Puerto Rico?

I have a fuel smell in the cabin of my carver 355. It is in the cabin only, there is no fuel smell in the engine compartment. The fuel tanks and fuel lines are good not leaking. Looking to see if anyone else has had this problem and what the fix was.

Need some help! I am not on the boat. Most of the electrical load is off, but the shore power breaker on the pier pedestal keeps tripping. I'm on a 50 amp double pole breaker. I've removed the y-adapter and only feed the port side receptacle on the stern (no power to AC's). Water heater is off. biggest electrical loads are cyclic with the fridge and battery charger. Any ideas on what i need to check? Breakers on the boat are not tripping, nor is the small fuse on the stern receptacle

Calling all my sister ship owners. I have the ‘04 366 variant but I believe my questions/issues are related to all three models.

1. The seat in the aft shower. I have some gaps at various points around it and I’m pretty sure that’s how relatively clean water is getting into my aft bilge. Quite a lot after a couple showers. And no, it’s not the sump overflowing or leaking. Anyone else have this issue and have you found a solution short of a bead of silicon all around the edge?

2. The Charles C-C ...
