My wife and I purchased a 1998 Carver 530 Voyager Pilothouse last April. We absolutely love the boat and all the space and styling. It was a sort of project boat that sat idle on blocks at the Skipper Buds marina on Catawba, Island, Ohio for nearly two years. Improvements made: New carpeting throughout interior, new upper helm Infinity carpeting, installed bow thruster this past winter, new Garmin 4212, all 4 new batteries (house and engine) new A/C in VIP suite, new sub-zero freezer in gall ...

I am at my last straw. New to me boat. Carver 326. How do you open the sofabed in the Saloon?

Mine looks like this: http://images.boats.com/resize/1/0/39/4 ... _LARGE.jpg

can anyone tell me how to get my hands on a wiring diagram for a 1980 3326 Voyager? I have some wires hanging out on the side wall of the back deck that are not connected to anything and I'm not sure what there for.

Hey all

I am looking for the a bench seat for the back deck of my 1987 Carver 2767 Santego. I purchased this boat used last year and it did not come with a bench seat. I have since seen photos where there's a folding bench over the engine hatches.

If anyone has one that's still in good shape, please PM me on here or email me at dparsons@photo-hogs.com.

Thanks

I was doing some work in the engine compartment today and found one of my three batteries had blown itself to smitherines. The other two batts are bulged out on the sides. Clearly an overcharging issue, I'd say, but if anyone thinks otherwise, I'd like to know. Didn't have vinegar handy to neutralize the acid, so I diluted with a lot of water and vacuumed it out. Will spray with vinegar tomorrow. Initial thought was to replace all three batts and what I suspect is a faulty battery charger. ...

I have a 3697 mariner (1986) the manual references positive and negative terminal strips at the helm. I pulled the footwell to try to locate them... I was expecting more or less standard strips, either with or without a cover. Am I blind or is the description in the manual misleading? Any insight?

I need to get a GPS for my boat...



We barely leave the bay waters in San Diego, every now and then we venture out a couple of miles into the ocean. We're not into fishing (yet!) so thats not important to me, I have no idea which unit to look at buying.



I would like something that connects to my VHF but aside from that I have no clue. I would like to go with something reliable but dont need all the bells and whistles. Something effective and inexpensive.



Any help/advise would be appreciated.



Thanks

I have a new to me 3807 with moss growing in the tracks of all of the sliding windows. I had the same problem on my 3207. The problem with both models is removing the glass to clean the tracks. Any idea how to get the glass out or how to clean the tracks with the glass in?

I have a 2000 406, it has large sealed windows. One of them has pulled away from the caulk along the bottom edge. Just spent the day cleaning all the old caulk out on all 4 sides. My first question is, did Carver use any sort of retaining clips to hold the window in place? I ask because I discovered 6 holes that are dilled into the fiberglass in stategic places,(I think the window had been removed at some point, as the starboard engine has been worked on). Also any ideas on how to free the glass ...
