Hi everyone! I’m a new Carver 396 owner and am trying to make a few repairs before spring. My starboard side dock access door is difficult to open and close because the hinges are bent and cracking. I can’t seem to find replacements anywhere so far. They are three-hole 4” x 3” hinges. I’ve attached a pic. Any help on sourcing a replacement would be much appreciated!

Hello all!! I hope everyone had a great holiday and Happy New Year. Has anyone mounted solar panels to their aft deck roof? Can you share what you did and how you did it? Panels and sizes, getting wires to the battery charger, controllers, battery types, sizes and manufacturers. Anything you can share even YouTube videos would be helpful. I'm hoping to make this my 2024 project this year!! As always, thank you for your help and comments.

I have the two guest seats from the upper helm complete with bases and deck levelers in excellent condition (no rips or tears Vinyl is in great shape) photos attached
200$ cdn for the pair

This is our first Carver and to our knowledge, the fuel fill hoses have not ever been replaced. We believe that they may be cracked because we smelled diesel in the salon but mostly in the aft master stateroom after about an hour after refueling. We only filled the tanks to about 2/3 full, so it isn't due to overfilling. I suspect that the hose(s) are cracked, but the access to replace them seems nearly impossible to get to. Are there any methods/tricks that I am missing to get to them? The ...

I have a 3207 with two 5.7L inboards, using fresh water (closed circuit) cooling. Do I need engine
water pumps from Crusader or will automotive application suffice?

Thanks

I have a 2004 Carver 360 with VolvoPenta TAMD41 engines, I want to replace the bearings in the strut, but I can't find a manufacturer with such dimensions. Does anyone know what kind of bearings Carver install? Shaft diameter is 2" and outside Diameter about 2 7/16"

Hello, I am a new owner to a 2002, 346 Aft Cabin and am having HVAC problems. Does anyone know where to find a service or repair manual? I have the part manual that I found online.

Thanks!

Greetings, I bought a 2001 396 in Oct. It was left on a lift and has been neglected. However it has low hour Cummins 5.9's and a nice genny. The prior owner ditched the bimini top and the windshield. I want to get it back to original.
