Post Acrylic sliding door maintenance on Carver 355


I finally got tired of my salon door. It was so hard to open and close.

I took the bottom track apart and cleaned it. I’m going to lube with a plastic silicone lube. Then I will put it back.



It was relatively easy to remove the bottom track. I removed the 3 Phillips screws from the bottom of the door. This released the sliding part of the track from the door. I then removed the 4 screws holding the track to the boat. I had to slide the door to get to all 4 screws. Then I pried gently to release ...

Post Seawolf 520 operation help


Hello again. Got my buddy's seawold 520 windlass all freed up and operational. On the carver 3227. There is only 1 foot pedal to operate it. It is looking to me as it is only power up and gravity down. I do not see how to release it to freewheel and lower the anchor. Thank you all

Post Hello Everyone! Buying a 330 Aft Cabin


Hi everyone! I’m new to the forum and looking forward to becoming a Carver owner. We are in the process of buying a 1991 330 Aft Cabin. My wife and I love the layout and the amount of space Carver packed into a 33-footer. The survey identified a few minor issues and one possible big issue. The surveyor reported that upon opening the salon door he faintly smelled gasoline. We have been on the boat twice and did not notice an odor. I have not owned a boat with engines under the salon so I’m ...

Post Question about fuel delivery


1996 380 Santego with Crusader 454 XL carbureted.



With the fuel valve in the on position and the fuel filter removed should fuel flow via gravity and help fill the filter?

I’m having issues on the starboard side and no fuel flow to the filter.. my Port side has constant flow that would easily fill & prime the filter???



I thought I had a fuel pump issue on starboard and was getting ready to replace it but decided to change the port side filter and ohm out both pumps… that’s when I discover ...

Post Propane Canisters for Cooktop


My 1993 300 Sedan no longer has the original Princess combination electric/alcohol cooktop. I installed a two burner LPG cooktop. See attached photo. I have not installed any gas fittings yet. It is my intention to use Flame King, refillable half-pound LPG canisters which will be under and a couple feet away from the cooktop. The canister will be attached to cut-off valve which then attaches to the regulator from which a 30-inch hose will connect to the unit. I know that propane has to be han ...

Another pump or 2 to prime and it fires right back up. I have primed it for alm ...

Post New '88 Mariner 3297 Owner


Hi All!



Been snooping around the forums for while now learning the tricks of this boat, it's new to us later last summer. We upgraded from a 25' regal ambassador, absolutely loving the significantly larger size as well as ability to access nearly everything for maintenance (though the v-drives are going to be a pain to change the fluid).



I've already done a number of upgrades including replacing the outside teak ladders with plasteak. I like tinkering with electronics so also done a number of DC e ...

Post Need electrical help


I have 1999 Carver 356 Aft cabin. When running off of the 6.5 Kohler generator, I get a serious rattling noise from the breaker panel when the cruise air or any large amp appliance is turn on. Some times the a/c will kick on and some times it flakes out. Is this a generator problem or or what I think is a relay problem in the breaker box? At yhis time my generator only want to run one cruise air. The cruise air runs at about 13 amps in 120 volts when running but at start up it jumps to like ...
