Hi,



My starboard transmission on my 405 is noisy. After reading all of the great posts here, I decided to start with the engine and make sure it is running right before proceeding further aft. I replaced the cap and rotar and the replaced the plugs. I made little wooden rack so I could put the removed plugs in the correct sequence for inspection. After removing them I found a website that offered pictures of spark plugs in various conditions. (after removal). Obviously from comparing mine to the ...

My Carver 444 Cummins 370 port engine is spooling up slower than Starboard engine after reaching 2000 rpms. The port engine start coming up to full rpm after approx a minute or so as the boat begins to plane. I recently had shafts and castle bearings replaced but suspect turbo charger. Any thoughts?

I am looking for the switch plates on a 3607 helm.

They are the ones with lights, fuel, voltage etc.

They are about 3 x 6 made from aluminum, I think.

Hopefully someone here has a set sitting around, or can direct me to where I might find them.

You can see them here in this picture.......not mine but similar.

Does anyone have any experience using the Towdster towing device? We are looking at better ways to tow our runabout and the Towdster looks like the way to go, but would like to hear thoughts. Thanks!

Thanks

Just purchased 1988 32' Aft cabin Carver and am so stoked to be a part of the boating scene. I am ready to cruise the Pacific North West. I have a lot of questions and hope to chat and hope to meet boaters on our excursions.

This cover was made in 2003 and used 2 years only. Has been in storage since. It is for wet-storage, meaning for boat left in the water. I believe it has 2 zipper access doors too. I just got it in and going to take pictures next week.



New today, probably about $5100 before discount. $4600 after.



I am open to all offers. I will post pictures early next week.



Call or email if interested in this cover, or if you are in the market for a boat cover. Thanks,

For the Ontario guys..... Till the end of the day today TSC stores have Rotella t4 15w40 on sale for 3.69 a litre, good price.......
