I am trying to source parts for an upcoming rebuild and im having a hard time finding stock spec parts. The cams are no longer available. And if they were I wouldnt pay the $400 they are asking.
Gen 5 454XLI

Parts I need:

1) Cam, lifters, pushrods, gears/chain
2) Pistons, stock
3) Gasket kit
4) Freeze plugs


Anyone done this before and have parts list I can take a look at?

Thanks in advance!

My wife and I are new to boating ( we have a 33 foot 3396 Mariner ) , and are looking for advice about whether or not to tie off to shore when anchoring overnight. We have been getting various responses from other boaters around the marina so I thought I would see what the prevailing opinion was here. We have overnighted a couple of times and I am amazed by the amount of swing that the boat has. Opinions in the Marina range from Never tie off to Always tie off , I admit to being a little conc ...

I am about to buy a '85 Santa Cruz with a cracked block 350 Chevy for $1500. I called the guy wanting the trailer it was on but have fallen in love with the boat as well. I pick it up tomorrow. Anything out of the ordinary about this boat to check other than the obvious old boat stuff like core rot , ect?

It will be a fun little winter project. I am a sucker for a boat project.

I have read about the tipsy nature of this boat but I assume it would be fine inland like I will use it.

Is my refrigerator freezer supposed to be working while I'm travelling?
Stuff was thawing out, we were under way for 8 hours
We have a giant inverter system, other lights, heads, etc are working while under way
The inverter system is very complicated, not sure how it works
thanks

Hello all:

I own a Carver C34, 2014. I carry spare fuel filters heading over to the Bahamas for a week. I hope I don't need them. I know how to replace them but I can't find my gas shut off valve? My C34 has the 5.7 Mercruisers, gas engines. Anyone would care to instruct me on where are they located? I know from the owner manual they are suposed to be on the top of the tank, but I don't see them anywhere? what exactly does it look like and where the heck are they?

thank you all anticipated

I have a carver mariner 350 with a 22is pound delta (plow) anchor. To me I think it is a little under sized for my 20,000 pound boat. Where we anchor is mostly silt and sand, but the lake has rocky areas. I'm looking at these anchors for a main anchor on my bow- connected to my all chain rode. They are all galvanized. (note prices are all West Marine for comparison only) I'm leaning towards the Rocna Valcan. Thoughts?

Also note: I often will raft up with other boats and will have more then just ...

I am trying to fix my salon a/c on my 1988 4207 carver. Can anyone help with accessing within the small hole.

I just Recently purchased a carver 3207.1st. i dont see a shore water connection only a water inlet i believe for the tanks.The water pump was bad and disconnected but not replaced no hoses are connected to it ... what would be super helpful if someone took a picture of their system there the pump it .... so i can see what goes where... this is my first carver and i am stomped it looks as if the system was tweaked maybe to bypass the tank .

My carver has its original radio with cassette and nobs. i'd like to replace it but it looks as if i have to cut a hole in the wall does anyone know of a easier way to replace it ? I forgot to snap a picture but it's surrounded by wood with two holes for the knobs .. do i have to cut an opening for the new Radio? Thanks in Advance

Looking to potentially buy a 1988 Voyager 28. I know my surveyor will know what to look for, but what, as Carver owners, should I make sure he pokes around in and what questions should I ask?
