Post Repower 1999 350 Mariner


Hi,



I am overseas, so access to skilled service is limited. Looking for advice based on forums experience. I have a 1999 350 Mariner with twin Crusader 5.7 MPI V drive. Port engine seized. I had someone take for me to get registration done and assuming after that last run, something leaked and due to my travel schedule wasn't discovered until return and found would not turn over.

Post Transporting a Carver 36 Sport Sedan Detroit to Cincinnati


Hello, first post. We are seriously considering making an offer on a Carver 36 Sport Sedan located in the Detroit area. We would need to transport to Cincinnati. Has anyone trucked this model and what preparations need to be done prior to loading on the semi trailer. Any tips would be appreciated. We are size upgrading from a Boston Whaler 205 Conquest.
Thanks, Mike

Post AGM and Alternator


Thinking of going to AGM since with the current battery location there is no way to check fluid levels or top off if necessary. The existing AC charger has a AGM setting, but what about the engine driven alternator?

Post 1990 3297 - Crusader 270 Fuel Pumps


My 1990 Mariner 32 has Crusader 270 engines and I need a fuel pump. None of the usual parts stores had the right pump. I live near Basic Power Industries and those guys are crusader experts, but they were stumped as well. They initially suspected it was part number CRU-97842 which was on back order. When it came in I took my pump with and compared. It's still the wrong part. The CRU-97842 has inlet at 7:00 and outlet at 6:00. My pump has inlet at 6:00 and outlet at 7:00. To make matters ...

Post Carver 530 Pilothouse Cummins rebuild in engine room?


I'm hoping i can get some help or guidance from my fellow boaters as i'm a bit overwhelmed (and depressed)-

I lost a starboard impeller which started a chain reaction of damage to the turbo, rocker valves and piston.

Before scoping the piston we replaced the turbo and impeller but heard a rattle in the valve cover. After removing we found a rocker lifter damage on the cylinder nearest the turbo. We removed the injector to scope the piston and found the damage attached in the photo. Looks like ...

Post A/C Compressor shuts off after few minutes on heat cycle


1984 Carver AC. Salon AC is a Marine Systems Air Model CM16H

Symptom: When started on heat cycle, the unit will operate for 3 to 5 minutes. Then the compressor will shut off. About 30 seconds later, there will be an extreme spike in amperage draw and the main 100 Amp AC breaker will trip. The water pump breaker does not trip nor does the salon AC breaker. Just the main 100 Amp breaker



The Fwd and after AC units operate with no issues - its just the salon unit.



Yes, I have strong water flow ou ...

Post 2001 450 voyager 8.3 cummings grey water holding and more


I am the proud new owner of 2001 voyager 450. I am selling my 1989 3607 that I had for four years. I got manuals with the voyager, but from reading it still unclear how the grey water discharges or is stored. I have the large open area behind the washer and dryer so I think they grey water discharges, but have not visually seen it, as I believe it may be lower then the waterline. Any help on the greywater system? Any manuals to share or info is always welcome. I tried the manual store asxrefere ...
