Post rpm drops at high speed


I have a1987 Riviera 28 with twin 220hp crusaders. One engine is fine at low rpms, but when advancing the throttle, the revs drop and then go up and down. Checked fuel filter. Rebuilt carbs installed 3 years age because of similar problem, was fine until now. Is the carb bad again or is something else causing the problem?

Post 98 355 sundeck trim missing parts


Attached to the rail around the sundeck are plastic panels. My port panels are missing along with the aluminum corner piece. I'm sure if the panels aren't readily available I could go to TAP plastics, BUT the aluminum corner piece. Any ideas where I can find one?

Post Carver Models At Toronto Boat Show


Have many of you gone to the 2016 winter boat shows in your area, and if so, what new Carvers did you climb aboard, and what are your thoughts on those models?

Toronto Boat Show had two Coupes on display, but no Command Bridge.

Cheers to all,

Post New Chartplotter


I am buying a 2006 Carver 46MY, I want 2 chartplotters which I have on my trade in, currently the 46 has a Raymarine C120. I have been told I can't install a new unit to work with the C120 due to the age, I was advised to install a new Raymarine with built in GPS and this unit will work independently with no wiring other than power. Does anyone have experience with this unit with built in GPS?

thanks
Dave

Post 12 volt interior lights


When I went to turn on my interior cabin lights they didn't come on. All the switches that should be on are on. The battery switch is also on. Everything else connected to the batteries works, engines, fathometer, etc. Is there a relay switch somewhere that could have been tripped? Any suggestions would be helpful. My boat is a 1998 3250 aft cabin.

Post Replacement refrigerator


We have a marvel refrigerator in our 2001 Carver 466 Motor Yacht which is near the end of its functional life. I was wondering if anyone replaced their refrigerator and what brand and kind of refrigerator they have chosen. A direct Marvel replacement retails at around $1600. It seems a less expensive alternative might be available.

Post Digital Speed Log Impeller Replacement


I own a 1987 Carver Riviera that has an SL-2 Digital Speed Log (Standard Communications). The
impeller has broken. The boat stays in the water year-round. Is it possible to replacement the impeller
from the top-side while the boat remains in the the water? I am unlikely to find the replacement part because of the age of the unit so, any suggestions on where to find the part?

Post New, a little bit confused, member


I recently joined this forum looking for some knowledge. I'm considering moving up in boat length by 5 to 10 feet for long term live-aboard and trying to figure out all the various models in the large end of the Voyager series. I see Voyager 56's, 57's, 58,s, 560's, 570's, and some SE versions listed for sale. All are in the 59' range but other than some differences in salon furniture arrangements (further complicated by owners who have subsequently done upgrades) I'm having trouble figuring ou ...
