Hi Just joining Ive liked Carvers for years I was a live aboard for 17 years in MN winter and all Yup crazy I know. I just sold my last houseboat and bought a Monterey with in 24 hrs. Not living on it. No way. I got a house now on the Miss. river so Im looking fwd to a smaller more agile boat that does not have to double as my house

I have a '95 370 Aft Cabin that needs a bilge blower hose replaced on the starboard side. Has anyone replaced this hose and how difficult is it to replace?

just bought a 1988 Carver Santego. Its almost the twin to my last one sans the generator the color. The problems with this one are common and hopefully easy to repair. Where can we purchase new shift cables that are the same length and fit for the boat without first removing the cable? There isnt any visible part number on either cable. Can this boat be upgraded to electric shift? I would be interested in that. Thank you all for any help!

I just purchased my first Carver and very happy with the boat. I do have some basic questions that I have received conflicting answers from friends who own boats, but not one of this size.



Are there any good checklists out there to for "start-up", securing the boat, etc. I'm a Navy guy and live by checklists to ensure things are turned on/off in the proper sequence.



Next, wrt the batteries, should they be left on or shut off when leaving the boat. I have heard answers in both the "yes" category ...

When I go to my breaker panel to turn on the aft head, you can hear and see the pump working (piston moving up and down) but the pump never shuts off. I need thoughts on what to look for to correct this problem.

Thanks

Hey All,

I just discovered soaking carpet in the salon on the port side around the cabinet. I pulled the cover where the a/c unit sets and discovered alot of water in the drip/ condensation pan that I had to sponge out. I could not find blockage in the drain line. I am going to blow compressed air through the line.
Any idea what else could cause the back flow of standing water in the condensation pan?

Thanks

Hello all,

My wife and I are new proud owners of a 1995 Carver 370. We are looking forward to learning all we can as this is a much bigger boat that our 2002 Regal 3060. Look forward to hearing everyone's opinions.

We got on the boat Fri evening and turned on the AC and both units started cooling. Went outside and sat and started some cleaning and when we went back in the main salon unit had quit. No life. Checked the breaker and it is working. Checked the inline fuse behind the switch and it is good. Any suggestions?

Anyone have a source for these overhead lights that are in virtually all of our boats built from the mid 90's to late 2000s? The ones that have the gold plastic trim ring that always breaks, and the fixture takes a G4 halogen bulb.

I've been looking on eBay and haven't been able to source them...

As the title says how much can they take? I'm getting ready to order parts to build a new engine for my Monterey project but I want to bump up the HP some. The original engine is rated at 260hp but I would like to raise that to 300/350 range with a modern EFI system.
