New owner in California

Hi all,

Just registered and am looking forward to learning all I can about our boat. It's a 1995 Carver 310 Santego. Twin Crusader 350 XL engines that had 346 hours on them when I drove the boat home on Feb 10. Bought from the second owner who had recently bought a bigger and new Carver. Seems to have taken very good care of it, but little things like some lights and the aft bilge pump will need to be replaced. I has that very mid 90's teal look to it. Have ordered a Boston Whaler 13.5" destroyer wheel to replace the original Carver wheel. We're now docked at the Sacramento Yacht Club. Wasn't looking for a flybridge boat and was preferring more of a Sundancer 320/340 style, but when I found this one with all the space (compare to our previous 1995 Regal 256 Commodore), we were sold. Plus the wife always wanted a FB. Just tinkering on it now. Removed the dinghy and davits and replaced all the drawer and door pulls with nautical themed ones. Took 13 people out yesterday for a dinner/cruise and it went well, but I think I'll limit to 10 in the future.

Welcome aboard. I have the same engines on my 95 Mariner. Very good production year for Carver. You may have the Hynautic helm for your steering system. Be sure to check your reservoir in the bilge for adequate hydraulic fluid. If it gets too low, you could compromise the seals in the helm pump. Engines run quiet at higher RPM's. 13 people! Wow! Good for you! 8-) er
