Here we are again! Getting closer to launch season in the north. Looks like about 51 days for me. Will not need to worry about any rogue ice chunks this year. Have not had any ice, even shore ice, for at least the past month. Latest weather forcasts point to above normal temps for our area all Spring. How long before y'all launch? er

I'm replacing the packing on the rudder seals on my 3207. The shafts and stuffing boxes are the same size as the prop shafts. What size packing do I need? I thought it was 1/4", but that seems to be too thick.

Thanks,

Want to purchase tune up parts such as filters and impellers for my recently purchased 1986 AC 3207. Im having trouble nailing down what engines I have based on the serial numbers. I cant seem to find these serial number ranges when I go to websites that sale parts etc. Any help on id'ing the engines and a good place to purchase parts would be welcome. Thanks.

SERIAL NUMBERS:
Port: A483163
Starboard: A492900

I have a 2001 Voyager 450. Does anyone know how to remove the original convection microwave? It does not simply pull out and I can’t see any obvious screws….would really appreciate some guidance….thanks

I know this is a long read, but I was hoping to give as much info as I could. Thanks to those who make it through!!



About 3 mornings ago as I was performing my pre-run checks, I noticed the coolant overflow reservoir on my STBD main engine (SN:46174828) was empty.  I checked the main reservoir and it was completely filled.  So I started looking for external leaks but could find no evidence of an external leak anywhere.



I turned to looking for internal leaks and checked the oil and transmiss ...

Most here know the fibreglass around the AC discharge normally gets stained from the water running/trickling over it. I guess if the pressure is on the high side it may shoot out far enough that this is not an issue for some however on Midnight Sun this is not the case therefor each spring the resulting stain/discoloration is removed however it does require some really intense work to get the area back to new condition.



I have 3 AC outlets, the front is at the water line below the antifouling pai ...

Hi everyone,

I have a 2001 Carver 406 42' aft cabin with Cummins 330's operating in the Chesapeake Bay. She has been a great boat, and we have enjoyed her touring the bay. I have been able to back into most slips we have visited except, of course, mine. It is a 45' slip with full finger piers (which is nice), but it has no pylons on the ends. It is 16' wide for a 14' beam boat, so there is not a lot of room for error. Backing in, I am completely blind to where the finger piers are. As a res ...

I recently purchased a new electric toilet and I had to upgrade the circuit breaker and wiring for the installation. I have a 1999 406 aft cabin. Is there a "neutral bar" or gang connection for neutral wiring in the bow area of the boat? How about the stern? Thank you!!

For the nerd boaters out there..... have a happy, safe and productive Pi Day.......

Hi all!

I am wondering if anybody has any information on the specification of carver vessels in regards to buoyancy, center of gravity and metacentric height. Why would I have interest in this you may ask.... I would like to add a Quick MC2 Gyro stabilizer to the boat. With the helm station a dozen or more feet above the waterline, I get rocked around quite a bit up on top of my 430. Its exhausting. In order to size the stabilizer system, I need to know these technical specs. Of course I have lo ...
