Post Carver 390 - Which switch controls the exterior lights on the sundeck?


Hi All!



I'm still getting to know my '94 Carver 390 CPMY. Great boat, but I've got a few little electrical nigglies. The aft sundeck has a couple of lights in it that don't come on. In the main salon next to the door leading aft, there are two light switches. One turns on salon lights, and the other just a little light on the stairs leading down to the aft stateroom. Does that also turn on the lights out back on the sundeck? I tried putting a voltmeter on the circuit, but got no power. Could the ...

Post 1997 Carver 405 Gas Engines


I have a question on the 405's gas engines that I am having surveyed and sea trialed tomorrow. The boat has Crusader 454's in it but I don't know the model # to get maintenance or manual info on the specs of the engines. I have been told that they are 454 XL's, but I am not sure as anything I have read refers to the XL's as having carbs. These engines are fuel injected and appear very clean. Could they be 454 XLi's? While mechanically inclined, I am not sure of the difference between the XL or X ...

Post What size boat stands do I need?


So a not so local yard has an over abundance of stands.

Power boat and sailboat stands available, some are Brownell and some are Hostar. Different sizes to choose from, they are rusty but solid. $50 for sailboat stands and $35 for powerboat stands. Two large SP stands 62" to base of screw jack, three SP stands 48",five stands 21" and 4 stands are 13" .

What size an how many would I need for my 1989 2757 Montego?

Post Volvo TAMD 75P Transmission engages by itself


I have a 2003 466 Carver with Volvo Pena engines and transmissions. While idling the starboard engine will engage. So far the boat has been secured at the dock when this occurs except once while waiting for the fuel dock she started going in circles until i shut the engine off. When it occurs the shifter will move into forward and reverse but the boat only has forward motion until is shut the engine off. I am not sure if this is an engine or transmission issue.



Has anyone had this issue and how ...
