Hi All, pretty new to forum so I hope this hasn't been covered recently.

Just curious what other people pay for marina wet slips, or dry stack.

I am in the Orange Beach, AL area about 30 minutes from Pensacola, FL. We pay $8/ft per month on a yearly contract for uncovered wet slip. Month to month is $10/ft. Electric is metered and water is all you can drink Nice floating docks, good restrooms/shores, decent ship store, no restaurant or bar on site.

Hello Everyone,



I've been lurking and reading here for a while, but unfortunately now have a problem I need some help with



I have a 85 3207 aft cabin that I got from my folks when they went bigger, but I think I need to pull trans and either have some clutch work or a rebuild.



Went out the other week, had a great time until it was time to dock.. the starboard engine was stuck in forward, and for the life of me I couldn't get it to shift or come out of gear. I've eliminated all cable issues as both ...

I have dodger panel drive rivets 11/2 inch length forsale pkg of 100 pcs,. 15.00 plus shipping cost to you . These are for use with dodger panels that also have spacers, I own a 1991 33 Aftcabin. Email me if interested and we can work out the details. Thanks Scott

We have a 1982 mariner with crusader 350's and the starboard temp gauge barely moves. When we are heading out it shows around 100 degrees and the temp on the engine using a temperature gun is 130 - 140. I tried swapping the sender wires from port and starboard , when I did that the issue stayed with the starboard gauge. Is swapping the wire at the engine side sufficient to test the gauge ? or should I really pull both out and swap them at the bridge ?

Thanks in advance

I have a 40CMY that has a Garmin 4212 electronics package w/radar GPS & Sounder. I'd like to add an Auto Pilot to the set-up. Do any Carver folks have equipment available ?

Just got the Wild Herron back from a re-power job. Replaced the troublesome Volvo Penta 5.7GXil-C engines with MerCruiser 383 MAG Strokers. Breaking them in today.



Been told that it is illegal to reset the Hobbs meters even though the engines have zero time (other than testing at MerCruiser, during the installation, and the short cruise from installation location to my slip (thinking we are at 2 hours or less). Is this true? Certainly showing the hours against the removed engines is more mislead ...

My port engine is a 1998 454xLs TBI with 1450hrs.
Lately, when starting the Port engine, it'll crank fine but at a certain point in the cranking cycle, it'll almost come to a stop, then resume cranking and when it come that spot again, it'll almost stop....the engine will start but seems it has a miss for almost a minute and then run fine. I'm sure its not starter but maybe a hard spot in the cranking process.

Hope that makes sense...your thoughts?

I watched a video on youtube where the captain of the boat was explaining a technique for moving your boat sideways without the use of a bow or stern thruster. He was saying that if you crank your rudders all the way to on side and engage your engines one if forward and the other one in reverse - your boat will move sideways. I've tried it with my boat, but It kind of worked. I'm not sure if my rudders are to small. Any one else familiar with the maneuver?

I have a Carver Mariner 350. It is a flybridge style boat with a radar arch. Needles to say, I can't see my transom when backing into my slip. The houseboat next door has side view mirrors mounted on the front deck. I thought it was a good idea. Any one else have mirrors for docking? Thoughts?

Most of the 396MY that i have seen have a storage box on the swim platform. Can someone tell me where i can find one of these boxes.
