Been looking for a transducer to install in our new to us 1994 39' Cockpit MY. My last Bayliner was fiberglass over plywood. Is this the case of a Carver or is it just fiberglass? I am looking at an Airmar B744V, but also have the B744VL (extra long) one available. Which one should I be buying? I would hate to own two! Any help would be FANTABULOUS!!!

Hello and happy new year to everyone. I am a UK boater new to the Carver forum. My boat is a 1999 405MY to which I am thinking of fitting a Side Shift ST350 stern thruster, has anyone had experience of these. Any comments greatly appreciated.

We just became the proud owners of a 1994 Carver 39' Cockpit Motor Yacht. She had been owned by the same person the last 18 years and yard maintained. Powered by 7.4 Merc engines. I have a couple of questions:
Do these Mercs have carbs of Fuel Injection?
Since closed cooling, is it just the risers that need periodic replacement?
Anything special or out of the ordinary I should look out for?

Thanks, The Admiral and I are glad to be aboard!

I am looking for a set of gears for the stern thruster (QL Volvo SP 1300). If anyone has a set please email me esappenfield@att.net

We are considering an upgrade to a 2006 466 Motoryacht.
I am interested in any available owner reviews

Thanks River camper

Hi Carver owners,



I have a 2002 466MY with twin Volvo TAMD 74P-As - although the blocks say TAMD75P - can't work that one out since a serialisation search confirms they are 74P-As. Anyway, these have an EDC system installed.



I had a mechanic fix a problem with the starboard forward not engaging. Dammit he showed me how he fixed this but I cannot recall exactly what he did. My problem now though is that the port forward thrust is taking 30 seconds or so before it engages.



Would anyone have a clu ...

Does anyone know specifically
where the defogger heating element is located on the 560? My defogger blows only ambient air. Maybe there is a DC breaker somewhere that I am not seeing. Mine is a 2007 but it is likely the same for all years. Would appreciate any help.

I am sure that their have been past discussion on this topic but here go's anyway.
I am looking for a good marine grade oil for my boat's power plant's, the owners manual advises SAE 40 but I like my synthetics and run Amsoil in my Ford 7.3 L. After lengthy reading I am not sure what is best as synthetics in an older motor can have blow-by dependent on wear, and base oils lack the superior lubricating qualities offered by synthetics. Do marine oils contain added rust inhibitors over conventional ...

I just bought a 1994 Carver 390 CPMY (gas) and love it. I'm learning how to do my own work. The lower helm station blower switch works fine, but the upper helm blower switch does not. The green indicator light does come on at the upper helm switch when the lower is used to turn the blower on.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot/fix? Thanks in advance!
