Post what weather reporting system do you use


A fair question considering some interesting forecasts lately.I really don't know what is more accurate in Canada at this time since I think everything comes from environment Canada but maybe there is. For the last 15 years or so going to Florida , I have found NOAA to be very accurate............

so what say you ,opinions anyone, what do you use/ trust..... :popcorn: :beergood:

Post Hello from San Diego!


Just bought my first boat --- 1998 Carver 355 Aft Cabin!

Obviously an older boat but she's in great condition. She's been in Lake Powell all her life, so seems need compared to her young model cousins here on the Pacific Ocean. She has 600 hours on the engine and the interior is in immaculate condition. She's a great first boat.

My husband and I moved to San Diego just about 20 years ago when he was enlisted in the U.S. Navy. I promised him back then that we'd buy a boat. It took 20 years but ...

Post No Water Coming Into the Head


Hello! My husband and I bought our first boat! Its a 1998 Carver 355 Aft Cabin. During sea trial, the surveyor noted that "there was no water coming in to the forward head/toilet when it was flushed". He suggested that "possibly needs a new impellor". We are having the same issue in the aft head as well. Given this, we are wondering if there is a valve or switch that simply not on. Couldn't find anything in the manual. Any suggestions before we go paying for it to be serviced?

Would great ...

Post Exhaust flaps


Looks like I've lost both rubber flaps that cover exhaust ports. Can these be replaced while in the water? (3 screws above water line) And where do you get replacements? Any advice is appreciated.

Post 110 volt circuit breakers


On my electrical distribution panel on 1995 440 the 110 volt side does not work when generator is running. Both sides are OK when shore power is connected and the side running the air conditioners is ok when genny is running too. Any ideas where to start? Some have suggested the breaker is bad. Anything else I can Check>\?

Post 1981 3007 Aft-Cabin


I have found most of the functional items I need for the boat to run properly. Question, Where is the reservoir for the hydraulic steering located on the 3007 aft cabin model.

I have not been able to locate it so I could check the fluid level.

Thanks in advance.

Post 1989 Merc 7.4's RPM's


Just did something really dumb and I knew better as this is not my first boat much less not my first Carver. I have been out of the boating scene for about 7-8 years and my wife was actually pushing me pretty good to go back and I wasn't really arguing.



So I bought a what appears to be a really nice '89 Carver 3807 Aft w/7.4 Mercs. The really dumb part is I bought it without having the survey done first. I don't know what I was thinking...... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
