So I thought I would replace all my Navigation Lights and my Deck Lights with LED's. Did the research and found what I thought were exact replacements from the same manufacture and low and behold had to modify each and everyone.
The manufactures forgot one important thing, to bring the wires out of the casings in the same place they did 20 years ago. So if you plan on going LED, plan on modify every new light you install. Mike

Hello, New to Carver boats. Just got this one needs some work that we are doing our self, not to much work needs to be done, we are going to try and keep it pretty much like it came when it was new. I can't find much info on the boat we have and while searching for info it lead me to here. I would like to see some of the same boats inside the cabin to see how people remodeled their boats inside or if everyone just kept them factory. We hope to have it in the water in a few weeks I hope. It is a ...

Hi all, hope some one else have not posted this question, as my search came back empty. I recently purchased my 2000 carver 356 aft cabin. As I am getting more familiar with it I am finding out some minor issues. latest one is the depth gauge is not working. It was fine when we purchased it. After purchasing we docked it for about 3 weeks. When purchased, the boat was off water and bottom was painted before we signed the papers. So my question is, is it possible stuff formed under the boa ...

I acquired a dinghy for our boat last season. This will be the first year I am doing spring maintenance on the outboard motor. It is a Mercury 9.9 two stroke.

Our last boat had Mercruiser bravo 3 out drives and I used Quicksilver High Performance Gear oil in the lower units. Mercury's website recommends Quicksilver Premium Gear OIl 80W90 for outboards under 75 hp. I think the other stuff is 90. I have got a bunch left over from the other boat. Is it OK to use it?



Thanks in advance

Hi Fellow Boaters



Picked my 2000 Carver 404 from her winter storage, Started up fine, took her to her home slip 5 miles away and plugged in the shore power on Friday.

Hello, I am purchasing a 2008 Carver 47 MY and I just made my first visit while the boat is on the water. I just noticed that the mosquito screens place in the small windows are actually installed on the outside and are not permenantly attached. They might have a tendancy to detach. Is this a problem and how can it be fix if it is a problem?

Thanks for your help...

We all meet new acquaintances in the boating community thru our travels, some we like and some not so much. I wanted to share a brief story of a friend we made while at the Charleston City Boatyard in Charleston, SC during recent work. My wife referred to him as her little Red Head, but we later learned his true identity was "Cowboy". We first observed him cruising through the boatyard heading back from the direction of the Wando River ringing wet and muddy paws. That's right, Paws! Cowboy was ...

New to this forum. Owned my santego 3897dc 1990 for 16 years. 1350 hrs all fresh water until september of last year. Now in st Petersburg.
Yesterday was starting starboard motor and the top blew off my lift muffler. I assume clogged hoses or fuel made its way into the muffler.
anyhow does anyone have the part number for the muffler or know where i canpurchase a new one.
also any chance you think i could re fiberglass the top on.
