Just bought first ever big boat. Carver C40 and I'm lost on how to do a lot of things on it.

Hi! This is a question for Carver 390 owners who may have put Flowscans on their boats, and are powered by with Crusader 454XLs. What are the best rpms you've found for fuel economy on/off the plane?



I've been running mostly just below hull speed, and unless I've been consistently goofing up my calculations when I fill up, my economy has been really good (about 4gph combined when running at 7 - 8kts).



At a little less than 2mpg, I'm pretty happy with that. On a run, I'll put it up on the plane an ...

We purchased a Mariner 32 for cruising on lake conroe. The family loves it. How to remove the old princess seaward 1988 microwave is a great mystery.

Does anyone know if Carver still supplies sun pads for the fore deck of the 405? I tried asking through their site, but the messages don't seem to go through. I have snap's on the deck from the previous owner but no pads. Carver listed the part number as #A0017115. My concern is to have any new pad made to fit the existing snap configuration. If Carver no longer supplies the item, any recommendations are welcomed for a supplier. I have a shop in NJ that reconditioned my isinglass and canvas', di ...

Trying to figure out what pump 1, Pump 2 and tank 1 are. I'm fixing a carver yacht that took on water and trying to get the bathrooms online. If anyone has a water pump diagram of a 2 bathroom 40-60 carver that would be awesome. I noticed I had two different water tanks one for each bathroom I really would like to take a shower one day any help would be great. Does anyone know what the pumps look like that provide the pressure to the showers and sink? Thanks

Swim platform on my 1987 280 Voyager was squishy, so I replaced it. It turned out amazing.

If anybody is ever in Saint Joseph looking for a slip to use, I'll offer free use of one my slips for a few days. Two in southwest Michigan, 10 minute idle out to the lake, and one in southeast Michigan, in Trenton, between the two Grosse Ile bridges.



One is a 45' long x 25' wide at St. Joe Isle Yacht Club and another is one of two 40' x 20' right in front of my condo. Am in walking distance, if you don't mind a short hike, to downtown St Joe. We regularly walk here, unless it is really hot or mu ...

Hello all. I just came across this forum while reading anything boat related online, as I cannot wait for spring here in Chicago. I guess looking at pics of boats in the water online helps get me through the 10 degree days we are having here. Ha. This is our first boat owned (wife and I). We bought it last September. Pretty much just in time to drive it to the Marina for winter storage. So we are eagerly awaiting this upcoming season. I look look forward to being a member here. Seems like a grea ...

I have a 2001 carver 466 with an twindisc ec150, fly by wire type control system. I'm looking for a used ec 150 throttle/shifter unit to install on my aft deck for backing into my slip. Vision from flybridge is terrible looking backwards. Have image if someone can help me upload it. Don't see how to add it here. I have searched online and can't seem to find one anywhere, not even a picture of mine! Hopefully someone knows where there could be one. It has a selector switch on it to tell system w ...
