Last week on Wednesday the weather for my trip to winter storage was perfect. There was little to no wind. That made getting out from my dock on 1 1/2 engines a lot easier. My port transmission is stuck in forward so handling the boat it tight quarters is challenging.



This trip began at the crack of dawn.







Sunrise over Trouts Yacht Basin in Bolles Harbor off Lake Erie. It was a still windless morning. Perfect for maneuvering a boat on one engine.

I have a water leak in the aft cabin of my 1996 300ac. Both beds are soaked, there are no water stains on the walls or ceiling. Anyone had this issue? Also, do any of you have any idea how we can take the ceiling apart to hunt for the leaks?
Thanks.

My buddy and I just bought a 1983 Mariner 3396. It seems like a great deal. We started our boating experience with a Trojan F25 that needs lots of work and it turned out to be a full gut and restore. That's in progress slowly. But we realized very early that it wasn't big enough for what we want, and we just want to get out there on the water sooner than later. So we bought this one. I already scheduled work to get done as we plan to keep her running throughout the winter. Bilge heater is alread ...

This is our third Carver, two 32's and the 405. Retired but still very active, been boating for forty years

Love my 405, work on it myself and still learning everyday. Look forward to sharing projects and info with like minded owners.

Welcome hellos and any comments are very welcome....

I have a 2657 Montego. When I bought my boat all it had was the driver bench seat. looking for original or ideas what to do with mine. I know there is a spot for a seat across the stern. I'm wondering with the spot behind the driver bench seat if there was a seat there as well?

Yesterday, Saturday Oct 22, we delivered HOLODECK up the Wareham River to her haul out point for the winter. I winterized her systems while in the water, had her oil and filters changed, and then headed out. We had a mile to the Cape Cod Canal, and then headed east until we reached the end of the land spit. Then a nice and easy (2800 rpm) run up the Wareham RIver. We hit some shallow spots of 7', but were careful and ran her until we came to the to prescribed marina. Docked her like a pro, and j ...

Hi all, purchased a 1987 Montego 2657 back in July that had been sitting for 10 years. Got what I thought was a pretty good deal at 3k. Spent a lot of time getting her cleaned up to be able to spend the rest of our summer weekends on. We slip out of Grand Haven MI (Coast Guard City USA). As She sits right now she is clean and runs great just needs alot of facial work done. She seems to be a rare bread as I can't seem to find many of them out there yet. However this winter I plan to get a lot of ...

Hi, I recently purchased a 1986 Carver 4207. Several light bulbs at different locations do not power up. I found all of the switches. But there are a few that do not know.
I don't know which switch is used for the aft deck dome lights. And at the aft cabin as you come down to your right there are two switches, can anyone tell me what they are for?

Please help me in my small, but ugly problem.

After last cyclon I have lost central part of fiberglass wind fence and can not find anywhere this part.

Can somebody send the draw of fiberglass wind fence please?

So we had a nice day down here in Middle Tennessee today, Warm, 84, no Humidity, and since we are past the "end of summer" holliday, very few people on the water, A few die hard skiers, fishermen (always out.... strange folk) and cruisers that have been waiting for these days.

We took the kayaks out for a ride. We never paddled them, we had good intentions, but mostly we just gave them a ride. Cruised up and down the river, About 15 or so miles up and then back, a side trip up a creek that ...
