Thought I would share a quick video I did from Memorial Day weekend. Really happy to have our boat boat back in action my boat looks tiny tied up with the Hatteras and two Sea Rays to my left.

Long time boater but gas and express cruisers in the past. Just upgraded to this fine yacht from a 1997 3255 Avanti. Pretty much loaded to the gills with all the electronics, bow and stern thrusters. Huge SS Carver anchor with all chain rode. Twin D6-370 Volvos.

Just finished the Sea trial last Thursday with a Volvo specialist on board and hooked everything up the the Volvo Vodia machine. Everything checked out better than new so to say. Boat is a single owner since new on a land locked fresh wa ...

Desperately need a generator specialist to work on my Onan. My marine mechanic has done his best but is struggling, frustrated, busy and I don't want to miss another season. There is one guy in Orillia but I've been warned by several boaters that he's a real crook. Any recommendations are welcome. Major problem is the starter re-engages periodically after starting. So far, new control board, starter, solenoid, starter relay, temperature and oil pressure sensors. Onan 3.0 MAJB marine.



Can anyone ...

This past week I launched my Carver for the season. Of course it would not crank as the battery that I knew was weak last season had died. I tried charging it with my battery charger but to no avail. I had to purchase a new battery. The batteries in the boat are/were NAPA Group 24 Deep Cycle batteries. There are 2 of them. I bought another NAPA Group 24 Deep Cycle to replace the dead one.



Battery #2 I also placed on my charger. When you first put a battery on the charger it does a battery check t ...

Hi all, my name is Don Hasten! Proud owner (18 months) of the "Infinity" a 2001 Carver 396 Aft Cabin with Twin 375 HP 8.1G Volvo Penta gas engines. Took a year to solve the phantom starboard engine alarm, long story, but got it resolved. My wife, dog, and I made a day trip on Jan. 3, 2016 and on the way back in, a exhaust hose ruptured, setting off the FireBoy Fire Suppression System, all three CO2 Cabin alarms, all three O2 Cabin alarms, the dash mounted Halon Alarm and shut down both engines. ...

Kohler 7.5 r gas generator not pumping water and shuts down in 30 seconds . checked impeller looked great but went ahead and replaced it anyway still not pumping water . any help would be appreciated

Just completed an upgrade to my 1994 Carver 370 Aft Cabin to add a small "house" bank of batteries. Boat originally came with start batteries for each engine + generator. However it was configured such that both engines started and ran on whichever battery was selected from the master switch. This also meant that both alternators were shorted together - really bad if on fails, the other is also not long for this world. Anyway... got into the bilge and re-positioned the existing batteries towa ...

There she is sitting in the slings waiting for my 4 PM Wednesday appointment to launch. They look so much bigger out of the water.







There she is edging ever so slowly towards the water.







Splashdown, let the season begin.



Once she was in the water I tried to start her up. No, go just a clicking sound. I tried jumping the battery still no go, click,c lick, click. I connected my battery charger to the fo ...

I have tried a few offshore LED replacements for my 10W, side pin, G4 halogens on the interior of my boat. They were either too dim or too yellow (or both). I am looking for warm white replacements at a reasonable price since there are so many to replace.

Any user approved suggestions?

Thanks,
Dan
