Post Water in starboard rear engine bilge
- Posted by: RickieT » February 2nd, 2018, 5:29 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hadn't been to the boat in a week was working on another project with my port engine overheating. Did notice a lot of water in the starboard bilge closer to the bow if that makes sense. I have a 350 Mariner and there are 2 separate bilges on either side and 2 in the middle. This weekend I'm going to use a pump to get all the water out and see if there is a leak.

Hello!
I realize this is a Carver forum, so the results of this thread are probably going to be biased
My wife and I have been looking at boats for about a year now. We are planning on moving to the Keys in the near future and becoming liveaboards. We plan mostly to bounce around the Keys on the boat, with some trips to the Western Caribbean.
We have narrowed our search to these two boats:

Hello Carver owners. I am the new owner of a 1989 Carver Montego 2557 Express Cruiser. Just purchased in November 2017 in south west Ontario.

People have been telling me that the 5.7 litre is under powered for this boat. Others tell me to swing a 4 blade prop with a one inch less diametre than the 3 blade to make the boat perform better. I w ...

Post 1995 Carver 390 aft cabin to cockpit lock replacement
- Posted by: Jim L » February 1st, 2018, 3:50 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hi all, I'm looking to either repair, or most likely, to replace the lock on the sliding aft cabin to cocpit door. Lock tumbler moves in and out, and then captures the key, making it very hard to remove; obviously internal breakage. Anyone know where to get a replacement or have had a successful repair? Thanks! Jim

Hi,
I have fo sale professionally custom made (by Lohmann Sails & Covers www.boatcovers.ca ) winter cover for 1994 Carver 390 (now gone) consisting of three sections, one in each of the bags featured on the photographs. Attached is also the photo of the boat for which this cover is made for. The cover is in very good condition with no rips or tears.

Just saying Hi to all.
I have recently bought a Carver 3207 Aft Cabin with twin MerCruiser 5.7 l gas engine.
The boat is a 1988 aft cabin model with double berth.
She was bought used here in Quebec, Canada, and has had very little use over the years. Engine hrs are 630.
She is currently stored in a heated warehouse in St-Ours, Quebec near the Richelieu river.
Eventually we would like to cruise the great loop in her.
Andre G.
