Post US vs Canadian Diesel Price


I am fortunate to boat in an area where the US is a stone throw away from us. Over the last 20 years I have fuelled up 90% of the time on the US side simply because it was so much cheaper however not so any more.

With high exchange rates, diesel prices at the marinas in my location are cheaper in Canada this year. My marina is at 1.39/l CDN which equates to $5.26 cdn/US Gal. On the NY side at the cheapest place I know, diesel is at $4.52US which equates to $5.95 CDN. Never before have I seen the ...

Post 3207 owner


HI ALL!



I am in the process of buying a 3207. I may live in it year round. Maybe.



Anyhow, before making an offer on my 3207 there was a long list of other powerboats checked out. The 1978 Trojan tri-cabin 36' felt tiny inside, like a 30' boat. When I realized my feet would be, in effect, "outside" the cabin when sleeping in the aft cabin portion this boat was dropped off my list in a flash. Not to forget the fact the wood around the main salon windows was all rotten and leaked like mad. The newer ...

Post RL80C raymarine XM weather compatibility


Hello all I have been trying to find if there are any XM / Sirius weather receivers that are compatible with either a L1250+ or a RL80C. I know these are older units and should eventually be updated, but right now I don’t have the finances to buy a new system and these are working great.

Post Simrad CP40 Chartplotter Mounting Bracket


Hello all I am looking to find out if anyone knows of a compatible bracket currently available for my CP40 chart plotter (such as a bracket for a current model that will fit) or maybe has one laying around that they would be willing to part with. I can not find any bracket online that says it’s compatible with this chartplotter.

Post Transmission fluid change


I have Series 5000 Borg Warner Velvet Drive transmissions on my two 350 Crusader engines on a 1997 325 Carver Aft Cabin. I am still in the process of going through the vessel which I purchased in May 18 and my plan is to refresh all the mechanicals for piece of mind and reliability. My transmission manual calls for 2 quarts of DEXRON II E for each transmission. A quick inquiry identifies that DEXRON II E is no longer manufactured. Some say DEXRON III is an equivalent replacement fluid. Has ...

Post Forward ac unit


Here we go. Both our ac systems work very well. The forward one works so well that the evap frosts up and leaks outside of the unit, down onto our carpet! Anyone ever see this? The only thing I can understand is that since it is under the bed and surrounded , it's not getting any air. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance, Andrew.

Post Overheating 6.5k kohler Gen resolved


Hey guys and gals! I live in a area where the waters can get up in the 90’s and it’s caused Generator overheating shutting down year after year for me in my 350 Mariner. I’ve been told that the factory heat exchanger was just not big enough for water this warm. I purchased a secondary water to water heat exchanger which I located outside of the generator housing, this not only allowed for a better cooling it also added almost another 1/2 gallon of antifreeze to the closed loop system. I’ll atta ...
