Say, has anyone installed a dimmer switch to control the indicator lights on the fly bridge helm switch lights.
Those little green buggers seem awful bright at night, and of course I wear glasses so it's worse for me trying to navigate at night especially in port and trying to dock. Or has anyone taken the switch knobs off and put a lower watt bulbs in?

Say, I have a pair of 1988 5.7L Crusaders Long Blocks that have about 1250 hours on them. The Port engine to my knowledge has no issues, the starboard one needs a rod bearing checked and possibly just replaced. I went the long block replacement and the supplier didn't want the cores. Thought if someone was looking for some project Crusaders. Will part with them for core price, $ 500.00 each or BO, located in NY.

Hey gang! This looks like a great group. I'm on my 2nd Carver, I had a 26' 1981 Monterey and replaced it toward the end of last season with a 1995 Voyager 320. I both fish and cruise from port-to-port on Lake Michigan and am looking forward to learning from and contributing to discussions here.

Just stumbled across you researching my boat. Like the info we have learned here, seem like a bunch of nice folks willing to share you knowledge & experiences. We just bought a 1999 380 Santego with the 7.4 mpi engines. Waiting on weather to break here too, though not frozen solid like some of you. Guntersville Al. on the Tennessee river.

I have a question.



I have a 2002 380 Santego powered by 2 8.1 GI-IA Volvo engines. Recently the port engine has been giving me some starting issues.



Last weekend ran great started every time.



Prior week.

I turned the key no audible alarm, the engine would crank but not start.



I am worried that one time I am able to leave port and I go to return the intermittent problem will leave me in the gulf with only 1 engine



I did some research and I had my battery switch on both all the time Since last we ...

As I was laying down last night to sleep and thinking of getting HOLODECK down here from Maine in the spring, a thought popped into my head.....how the heck would one pull and replace an engine if it ever needed to happen in this type boat? There is NO straight access into the salon area, it is either up a set of stairs or down a set of stairs. OK, I am ready for any answer anyone can give me. !!!!!

1998 Carver 355 MY, my fresh water gauge in the galley does not register the water level in the tank. Always empty.

Checked the DC voltages on both the sender the gauge and all points read pretty much the same on both. Voltage in and out at both ends. Pretty sure wired correctly, if I turn off the breaker for this unit I believe the gauge floated up, as soon as I turn the power back on it went to empty. Any Ideas, sender unit? Gauge? Though someone would have run into this and could advise ...

Hello,
I am a newbi here and to boating. I am looking at a 2987. I have tried to research this boat but can find no reviews or info. Anyone can share with me the good and bad?

I need to know where to go to purchase new fiberglass replacement tanks for my 1987 Carver 3207 boat

Folks, my wife and I have been looking for a move up boat for a while. WE really like the Santego's walkway thru the bridge, the way the helm is positioned at the back of the bridge and the 2 settes on either side.

Since these are somewhat hard to find, we've branched out and are looking at the Mariners 1998-2003(before the redesign). We've found a few of these and they seem to be a little less expensive than the Santegos.

Given this, I'd appreciate and comments on the following:



1. I see most Ma ...
