Post Carver Mariner 3697 generator replacement


I have a 1987 Mariner with the 6.5 KW MCCK generator. The current generator started smoking and making a loud banging noise and after having someone take a look at it sounds like the main bearings are bad. So instead of wait to have this generator rebuilt I bought a rebuilt of the same model. The only hard part is now that the new one is here I need to swap them. Has anyone ever pull and replaced the generator on this boat?

Post 1998 355 AC/MY Hot Water Heater


Looking ahead for a replacement hot water heater for our 1998 355 AC/MY. Parts listing says it's a Gallo? It's a 11 gallon heater with the engine plumbing in the back of the heater and the fresh water supply in the front. Replaced the relief valve already and now need to replace the drain valve that's leaking. Would like to, when the time comes, replace with the same style heater so I do not have to do any re-plumbing and can just plug and play. Thanks in advance! Mike

Post First "big" boat, brand new member.


Hello all!



My wife and I just paid for a 1982 Carver 3007 Aft Cabin and take delivery next weekend. We are brand new to the world of bigger boats. She grew up on Lake Erie and her dad has a 30' Sea Ray with a cuddy and I have had a couple smaller V hulls but we currently own a pontoon we bought new a few years ago and are excited to have an indoor space to spend more time out on or in the boat!



We know pretty much nothing about twin screw boats or anything that has to do with them but I'm mechani ...

Post 1994 Carver 390 CPMY


Proud owner of this fine vessel! However, there is one thing we can't figure out. As we head from the salon down the stairs to the galley (This thing has more staircases than my house!) there are 4 light switches. ONE of them has a green led under it, for I am assuming a light that is out of sight, as in the bilge or a cabinet. However, we can't find where or what this dang switch powers! ANYONE, any help please???

Post Kohler 6.5 esv genny


I saw some other posts addressing the issue just experienced. Looks like people were replacing sensors and random parts. Maybe this will save someone some time. It wont save much money because a new board is about $300.



We were out last week and the genny shut off after about 2 hours run time. I thought it had most likely over heated as the impeller most likely was never changed, 110 hrs total run time.

So I bought an impeller, fuel filter and oil filter. changed all this weekend, started up and ...

Post Mercruiser 7.4 MPI - Fuel Starvation?


Greetings,



Carver 400 CMY, twin Mercruiser 7.4 MPI. 500 hours.



I saw a similar post, but that was for a carbureted boat.



Port engine, has been running well since I purchased the boat Oct 2015. Had both engines fully serviced, including new OEM manifolds and risers. Had an issue with Starboard engine, but looks like it was solved with new MAP sensor.



On a recent cruise, ran for about an hour at 3,200 rpm. Both engines running smoothly, then suddenly the Port engine 'stalls', rpm drops to 1,000r ...

A 2002 Carver 444 CPMY Port side glass panel was damaged in accident and needs to be replaced. Carver saying they do not have the part. Any recommendations from the Carver community? Known dealers who may stock parts? This needs to be expedited.
