Hello, I am planning a trip through the Trent Severn waterway in Canada this year, starting on or about August 15th. I have looked online and have the facts about the canal, length , number of locks and cost to travel the waterway etc. I have found little to no personal experience information, I would love to hear from people that have traveled the waterway in the last ten years, things like best locks to visit / stay at and why, good places to see along the route, nice places to anchor for the ...

Afternoon all. Recently bought a 1979 Carver 3326 ( crusader 270's ) and made a 4 hr trip to her new home. Couple things that were off and would like your opinions. ( saltwater bay ) The engines both ran about 180-185 . Is that high? Also there seemed to be a tremendous curl of exhaust fumes to the back of the boat even up to the bridge from out of the back. So much so it would not have been safe to stand on the back while cruising. Thoughts on this? Restricted water flow, engines rich? OR is th ...

I have two bedding sets in excellent condition for sale. Comforter, two European pills shams and small throw pillow included with each set. No flaws, we are just changing colors in the cabins. Asking $175.

These are in my 1998 370 Voyager hooked up to 7.4 Mercrusiers. Coming back from the Tall Ship event in Boston this past weekend I had an alarm sound in the middle of Buzzards Bay in pea soup fog. Lifted the hatch could smell something was wrong and shut my port engine down. Thought I had blown a coolant line. We motored home to Westport, MA on one engine doing 8.5Kts and the trip took an extra 2 hours. When I started the engine to assist me into my slip I couldn't shift into forward or revers ...

I have 50 amp adapter with female on one end and male on other. The male end says it is 50 amp 250 volt but is missing one prong. 2001 444 CPMY is new boat to me and there are two of these aboard.

I will try to attach picture.

Hello:

I have a 1987 Carver Riviera and the navigation and interior lights are not working. There are separate circuits for each in the fuse panel. I do electrical work on my home, i.e. install sub-panels, circuit breakers, etc., but I am an utter novice with boats. Where do I even begin? Are there circuit breakers or fuses that may need replacing in the electrical panel itself? Shore power is working, and my receptacles all work, as well as most gauges on the operating console. A little hinky, b ...

Hello, starboard engine starts and runs fine below 3000 rpm but when I run at 3400 rpm after 15 - 30 minutes sync gauge starts to jump to port then engine cuts out completely. Will not re start right away. It will restart after 30 minutes or so and run fine below 3000 rpm. 1984 270 that has been converted to electronic ignition ( petronix ignitor ) Seems like a heat issue but temp gauge never rises past 160. I changed fuel filters.

Hey again! I have another question for you smarties!! We have a switch that looks like a light switch, that doesn't appear to do anything. (1999 Carver 356). It is at the stairs between the dinette and kitchen area. Their are 4 switches (that the website identified as light switches) but this one has a tiny blue bulb under it so that you can tell the switch is on. Almost like a light in the engine compartment that has the indacator lite by it in case you forget it's on since you can't see i ...

Hello - after a lightning strike at the marina my 2006 56 Voyager salon TV lift no longer works and is stuck in the "down" position (stowed). Has anyone had a similar problem or had to access this lift mechanism? I can see the TV from the side by removing the stairs to the bridge, and I can access the lift controller only by removing the couch cushion at the lower helm, but I cannot figure out how to access the lift motor/mechanism itself. It looks like it may require removing the entire range a ...

Morning. Just curious if there is any market among Carver owners for 50 amp 125 volt power cords and various adapters. Perhaps everyone has converted to 50 amp 250 volt cords.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
