I am updating my galley and pulled the small cabinetry with the dark slider doors from the back of the counter and the range. I have no idea if anyone would want any of this, but just in case someone is doing a restore, I took them out carefully with as little damage to the wood as possible. I hate to toss it - I appreciate original restores a lot, I just don't want to live in the 80's. (Actually I would, but I don't want my galley to look like the 80's). I've added a photo of the 1983 brochure ...

Although new to this forum, I’ve already noticed how helpful and knowledgeable the members are. Will flattery get me anywhere? I hope so, as I need some advice.

The original owner of my boat appeared not to order the optional SS rail fittings. Or maybe he did. At any rate, the bow rail all uses nice SS fittings, however the ladder/bridge rail does not. I think they are some sort of chrome plated zink… the kind that deteriorates around salt water.

In my case, a Tee fitting cracked on the ladder. Yo ...

Does anybody have experience with removing engines from a Carver 374 Voyager? My starboard engine (Cummins 6BTA 5.9 M2 370 HP) aft-most cylinder is cooked. Need to remove the engine and either rebuild or replace the block.



Looks like I will need to strip it down to the block. The hatch is large enough to pull out the block. The aft entry doors are large enough/can be removed. But the distance from the cockpit to the engines is pretty large (about 10 ft) plus the salon floor is two steps up at th ...

Anyone use solar panels? I was thinking about putting some on the hardtop of my boat looking at 4 of them @100 watts each with a controller. After adding a second refrigerator this winter on the aft deck I am hoping that solar panels could at least slowdown the discharge from these units while anchoring for a longer period of time. Thoughts?

I have a Lowrance Global Map 3500C on my 86 Mariner and the screen is going bad. I want to replace with an updated chart plotter. What are the best for my model of boat?

Hello all, I am new this forum and I am looking for some advise on my next boat purchase. I have been running a 28 Bayliner for the last 10 years and it is time to move up. I love the Carver CMY and the model I am zeroing in on is the 390 or 404 cmy. I cruise on Lake Superior in Minnesota. We love to fish and that is why I need the cockpit area. Trolling between 1.8 to 3.0 mph for hours at a time is how most of our days are spent on the big lake. We will make trips of 100+ miles for the w ...

Getting ready to change the oil in both engines. Anybody have their go-to oil and filter brands?????

Thanks,

I am a new owner of an 87 Mariner 32 (3297). I'm in Toronto (out of water 6 months a year). I have read the manuals and read what I can on forums and I am still confused about what settings the switches should be on when charging (on shore) and when on the water. It would appear that carver says that shore power should via one bank of power at a time not both. I really don't understand if I should be on both when at shore, with shore power switch on and inverter off, then only inverter turned on ...
