Post Window channel replacement


We have recently purchased C 370 Aft Cabin. (1993). The window channels in the salon and the aft stateroom are deteriorated and mossy. Where can I find replacements and what should we know before we attempt to replace them. Thanks.

Post Transmission Fluid Pump


I’m pretty sure my port transmission is not pumping fluid as it should. This is a 2000 406 with 7.4 MPIs and Velvet Drive Model 30-01-005 trannies with 2.5:1 ratios. I got a warning tone while cruising at 3200 rpm the other day (about a half second beep every 2 seconds). Retarded the throttles but the warning continued. Oil pressure and engine temp were perfect on both engines. Got it to quit by turning off the port engine, but it came back on as soon as I turned the key back on and waited ...

Post Another Day In Paradise


Docked at one of hundreds of available docks amongst the 1000 Islands. Spent the weekend with my son in law and grandchild who is back to back with us at the dock. Had the island to ourselves. Skelton Island just outside of Brockville Ontario, Canada.

Post Molding around sliding glass door


My 2005 Carver Super Sport needs replacement molding around the sliding glass door. The existing molding (or is 'trim' the proper word?) appears to be made of rubber or a very flexible vinyl. I have been looking around for a replacement but I'm having no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas on where I might find this?

Thanks!

Jerry

Post 1990 Carver 3607 max capacity


OK, I have what may be a very stupid question but I have to ask. I have my new to me 1990 Carver 3607 aft cabin that I've owned for one year. My daughter wants to have a bachelorette part on the boat. Question is, what's the legal capacity of my boat? All other (smaller) boats that I have owned had a Max capacity label affixed somewhere on the boat that would give max weight or max number of people.

Post Gas usage math formula?


Greetings Fellow Carver Owners...



My twin engines are Crusader 350 XL HT's I have been renting my boat out to a captain taking his family out for four hour blocks. Mostly he's been filling the tank back up to where it was before taking the boat out. If he happens to run out of time to put gas back in does anyone have a formula I can use that can ballpark how much he owes me for gas?



I thought of noting engine hours before & after...then using an average RPM of 2500 burning 25 gallons of fue ...

http://www.all-about-houseboats.com/hou ... avits.html

Has anyone seen, used, have knowledge of a towing rig as pictured in the attachment; it is from a houseboat forum & they go slow. We usually cruise at 12+kts. RIB is a Novurania 11.5L X 5.5ft.B, weighs 571 lbs. dry total including 197 lb. 25 hp Yamaha. I plan on using the existing typical Weaver Snapdavits on the swim platform as the pivots, hoist it with a winch or block & tackle & secure it with rigid stand off arms ...
