Post Fuel shutoff


I have a 2006 Carver 33 SS with Crusader 6.0 l gas engines installed. I am planning to replace my fuel filters. My port engine rpm's are cycling up and down, up to 300 rpm's when I accelerate from 1000 rpm's to 2500 while underway. Once I reach 2500 the problem seems to "go away". In neutral, I don't have the same problem. I have read in other forums that the filters may need changing. If anyone here has other ideas or thoughts on the problem I would appreciate it.



I have studied how to change b ...

Post Converting 1997 Carver 406 Dinette into bed


Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to convert the dinette into a bed properly. I can drop the table down but I can't seem to figure out how to configure the cushions correctly. I think I'm setting them up wrong as they don't seem to fit tightly and keep sliding apart so this leads me to believe I'm missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

Post Official Gripe!!!!


Ok.... so here we are, May 2nd. I have been at the the boat once when the wrap came off and put my canvas up. I just need maybe 3 days to do some "out of the water" jobs and then launch. Rain, Rain, cold, Rain, Cold... more rain and colder.......



By this time last year I had installed my new battery charger, done my bottom paint, washed her down and were in the water.



Boating in Canada............ when please..... it is not fair.





Cheers

Post Rebuilding Sherwood E35 raw pumps


Hi guys, I am considering doing a major overhaul on my Sherwood raw water pumps. I am not sure if they have ever been done. I was planning on replacing impellers anyways so I thought it would be a good piece of mind to get everything done.Has anyone done this? Sounds like the bearing needs to be pressed into the housing and the shaft any tricks I need to know? Also looks like you can buy the kits with or without the cam which one to buy?



One other thing.. the pumps seem to work great pump plenty, ...

Post 1989 carver santego 27' stern drive cables question


Last year we purchased a beautiful 27 foot carver santego with twin merc.s. the prior owner had the out drives rebuilt by a marina in quincy mass but since the rebuild could not get them into gear. Yesterday I was going over the boat and found the starboard side stern drive cable disconnected from the engine and the starboard side has the pin from the canopy out of place thus blocking the shifter from moving, so I corrected both of these. It seems to shift fine now. But here is my question. ...
