Wife and I have decided on a carver 53 Voyager. Plan on a fresh water purchase. Operate on ohio, great lakes for a couple of years. Then retire and sail her to gulf side of Florida to finish out life.

Good Day All,

Hope everyone's season was a good one.



When transiting to our winter storage area, the St'bd drive seemed to be surging when placed in gear. Lifted hatches to confirm transmission engaged. When tied alongside, this was quite noticeable with engine at idle.



Was really hoping that maybe the keyway had dropped out and prop was spinning on the shaft, this was not the case as we lifted out today and the keyway was in place and there was no slippage on the shaft.



Anyone out there experience ...

No explanation necessary....

This is my first power boat, after 40 years of sailboats. I decided it was time for air conditioning and time to stop raising and trimming sails. My boat is Treasure Hunter and I have her at Eastport, Mississippi (that's on Pickwick Lake).

Following hurricane Matthew I was finally able to assess the storm damage on my 405 and found that hurricane Matthew left town with my portside polycarbonate panels and aluminum corner piece on the Aft sundeck. While appreciative of the low damage level I would like to replace the missing panels and the corner piece is needed to hold everything together. Any ideas where a mariner can locate carver parts not available any longer by carver? Any help appreciated.

Pictures depict the part I need fo ...
