I got this boat with a 14 x 16 pitch 4 blade s/s prop. didn't get proper wot rpm. only could get 3800. boat hauled and serviced and marina installed 3 blade 14 x 21 pitch. boat will only get to 2900 and then seems to lose power. if anyone out there has a opinion on if this boat is now over propped or something else going on I would love to hear it. thanks for any help

Got a parts boat, other than outdrive and swim platform most of it is there, the hand rails are there too just removed. All cockpit floor inserts are there and good. Email me at dohcdelsol93 at gmail dot com for what you want as i don't get online much. pick up near greenville sc on larger items but will ship as well.

I’m a first time boater wondering if someone has a checklist, manual or step by step procedure on how to winterize this boat?

Thanks

Have a 2006 46 Voyager and the starboard head exhaust blower is very noisy and needs replacement. All trim in that area is glued and no screws to be seen. Anyone’s help would be appreciated before I start with a crowbar and maybe damage areas where it is not located.

Unfortunately the weather is starting to turn as the winter sets in slowly. This weekend was great, warm temps and little wind. Many boats at the marina have already disappeared for the season. The islands and waters were boat free with the exception of boats moving down to their winterization destination.

This was our last weekend on the boat as Monday we brought everything back with us. I just need to do my oil changes and bring her to my winter storage area which is about a 2hr run from home ...

Hello all. I am a new owner of a used Carver. I recently purchased a 2000 Carver 45 Voyager with 480 Volvo Penta's. I am trying to get a feel for my fuel consumption rates at 9-10 mph vrs 20-21 mph. Any ideas?

Would love to obtain 5 mph increase in cruising speed. I know it would be difficult if not impossible. We have a 440 MY with CAT 3126s rated at 420 hp each, ZF transmissions with a 2.9:1 ratio and 30x33 propellers.

We can reach 15 mph at 2250 RPMs.

Is there any way to obtain a speed increase without excessive drive train wear and to do it economically?

First year to winterize this boat, can anyone tell me where the raw water seacock intake is for the 454 crusaders on this boat? Found a seacock under salon floor next to the v-drive that goes into the drive and out of drive appears to go back to engine. Is this the raw water intake for the engine or is there another seacock located somewhere i havent found yet?

Any other information or procedures regarding winterizing the above boat would be appreciated!

Thanks.
