Last week I got a tip from a fellow Boat Club member on who to get to fix my transmission. Yesterday on my way down to my boat I stopped at Humbug Marina in Gibraltar Michigan to talk to the transmission guy. I explained my issues and he gave me a probable synopsis. I most likely, because it is stuck in forward, have fused clutch plates.



He gave me a rough estimate based on what I told him. He estimates around 2K should fix the problem. I hope his estimate is in the ballpark. I was planning on up ...

Hi fellow boat lovers ! Picked up a 1984 3207 with 270 Crusaders. She was dirty and sad, second owner had her two years as her first boat, but was scared to drive it. I saw under the dirt and stole it $16,000 Canadian ! Drove her home 70kms across Georgian bay in 6ft rollers topped with white caps, handled and ran beautifully. Been spending lots of time with her and she's feeling a lot better. Scrubber her down, bilge to the bridge. Most everything works, must have tightened 400 screws. Flushe ...

Hello friends:
New to boating and planning on a 30 ish aft cabin Carver, I love the layout and open design.

Question (of many) are they hard to get in and out of? I have some older folks I'd love to include from time to time.

It looks like some models just have a ladder, can you side enter? Sorry I am new to this world.

Thanks!

Bought a Carver 36 ft Mariner two months ago. A big change from my MacGregor 26 sailboat. Having to learn about plumbing, mechanical and electronic systems has been a challenge.

Hi All,


I've never winterized an inboard. So I need some affirmation.

This is a closed - loop system, so besides the heater hoses on the port engine, what else is there after you blow it out thoroughly with anti-freeze? I can't see where else there could be water. Am I correct on this?

I appreciate your thoughts.

Hi,



Carver 3207, year 1987. Still a beauty and I still love her



I lost all oil through he helm on the upper bridge. Is there a seal that can be changed or do I have to change the whole Hynautic System attached to the helm.



I found a lot of information on this site on how to refill and re-pressure, but I need to fix the leak. FYI - I looked behind the dash and there is no leak - it is definitely in the front part of the helm.



Thanks for helping me out.



Cheers
