Hi all. I have twin 454 Crusaders in a 1986 4207. I bought the boat about 3 months ago. The oil in both mains looks practically new. But how can you tell if they need oil with the mains slanted like they are? With the right amount of oil at an oil change, the dip stich would show way higher than the marks on the stick. Correct? Help!!

I need to replace the sanitation hoses on my 1992 33 Aft cabin. Does anyone have a recommentaion for a 1-1/2" hose?

Glad to have found a forum dedicated to Carver owners! We have a 1982 Carver 3607 that we purchased 2.5 years ago while living in Texas. The vessel was slipped at Flowing Wells Marina on Lake Texoma and has since moved with us to Perdido Key, FL (near Pensacola).



The boat is mostly used for day cruises with a few overnight trips for special events, mostly Mardi Gras to date.



Current projects that I'm working on:

New refrigerator - the original Norcold unit burned the compressor and has been rem ...

Well, the Montego I recently acquired is near mint condition below decks because it was used specifically for fishing Lake Superior, so I have some hefty down rigger plates mounted on the gunwales. But the rear deck bench seat and seat back have long been discarded.



Would someone be willing to take some photos of what I am having to recreate? Maybe a photo of the underside with some rough measurement? I contacted Bryan at Marquis and of course they no longer have any info on that part includ ...

Can anyone give me an idea of what the original price would have been back when new, for a typical 1988-1990 38 ft 3807 aft cabin?

Thanks,
Thom

I'd like to get some input and your opinions on this boat. We made an offer on it today. 2004 Carver36 Sport Sedan. It has 8.1 Liter Gas Volvos. Both thrusters.

I have an auto-synchronizer. The port engine is showing "-----" and the starboard engine is reading accurate RPM's. I recently had new electronic ignitions installed by service department (first mistake) and now RPM readings on tachometer for port side are all over the place (mostly reading high) and sync not working (again reading zero "----" on port side digital read-out. Any ideas?

Well, we just packed up our "new" boat a Carver Mariner. Trusting that the marina will winterize it for us properly. Already looking forward to next season, but wondering if there are any other Carver boat owners on Lake of the Woods???? Would like to chat etc.

Hello,

I have a 1977 Carver Camper 2276. The Electronic Shifter Switch is bad. I am hoping to find a good deal on this, as money is super tight right now but I really want to be able to get out on the boat more soon. There is a guy here in town that has rebuilt ones, but he wants $220. Way more than I can afford at the moment. Please help!!

It has the OMC drive.

I have a '94 Carver 300 AFT Cabin with 350 Mercursier engines. Just out of no where, when I engage the starter ignition switches, nothing happens. Now I haven't used this boat much this season. But have only ran it about 3 times all season. But each time it has fired right up. I have tried nudging the transmission levers while trying to start just to be sure it wasn't the neutral safety switches. But that didn't do anything. Out of necessity, I did heavily wash/hose down the helm one day. Sh ...
