Hello,

I am looking for some help on this one as it makes no sense to me

Picked up my boat from storage and found the port shifter in forward position is very stiff moving it forward to neutral however pulling it down into revers is very smooth.

Down in the salon the port shifter seems to be normal too... I started taking everything apart and with the cable removed from the fly bridge control the lever moves easily forward and reverse as expected.

After pulling the cable down into the salon, when I move the salon port lever forward and reverse i see the cable moving with no issues at all.

I see one cable from the fly bridge going into the bottom of the salon mechanism and another cable from that mechanism going to the transmission. the lower cable to the transmission moves freely too. How does that work? how do the two cable work together? is it something in that salon shifter mechanism? all cables are free so there isn't anything left but that chrome looking box housing the cables... If I screw that little screw on the side of the lever it moves in and out as if it's tightening something...

I am pretty mechanical with cars and such but very new to boats. any help on how these mechanisms work or if you have been through this before would be great.

Thanks Dave

My shades on port side are broken. They are Oceanaire and 83 inches or so and can not locate replacement or parts. Suggestion to replace larger Port and smaller Starboard side. Thanks again. MJB

Hi

My AC unit is acting up. When I turn it on, it runs its diagnosis and immediately goes to "heat", not cooling (which the temp setting says it should).

This is new and sudden and no codes show up on the (small) display.

When we lower the temp to force it go to "cool" it immediately shuts off.

It is a Marine Air Systems by Dometic model 7055 (I believe, tag is worn).

Anyone have any ideas what this might be?
Thanks in advance

Hi, I worked for a Carver dealer as a Tech. Went to Pulaski a couple of times for their school, let me tell you they had some really good people working there.
I found this flag in one of my boxes during my last move, it wasn't used during our last show and the only time it's been out of the bag is for this photo. If my memory is correct it's from 2002, but I'm not sure.
It's 36" X 60" and only has printing on one side. As you can see from the picture it has creases from it's 20 years in the bag, but the fabric still feels good and I'm guessing they would come out if it hung for a while.
Would anyone want this?

Hello, I was checking the engine compartment and noticed that the port side is completely missing the part which is in the first two pictures. Looks like some kind of hydraulic component and the two lines that would feed it are ziptied to a hose above. Also, my port trim is not working. Does anyone know what the missing part is?Thanks!

I replaced the temp gauges yesterday, going to replace a sender on starboard engine. Port now needs steady, no tapping the gauge. It has a the original sensor. Starboard still runs higher close to 170 st idle. water is pumping. I am going to swap out starboard sensor this AM. I have the Sierra temp gauges. ‘Meh? Close to original, but not original. One thing i DO like is the red back light. At night it brings me right to the gauge. If I can’t get temp down with the new sensor, I will swap out the raw water pump. NOT looking forward to this task. Not hard, but also has to be done from above.

Has anyone seen a source for this temp gauge?

Thank you!

Best,

Tony

Hello guys, I’m looking through a parts manual that members here were so helpful in finding for me. Is there a way to find out what option codes are affiliated with my boat? Thanks in advance

Hello all,
Im new to all this. I am a new owner of a 1997 325. I am looking for an owners manual, parts manual, service manual. Anything to help me on the journey to getting this baby back sea worthy would be of great help. Thank you

I'm a proud owner of a Carver 38 SS. I have owned her for 4 years. I was in the process of installing a base for a grill on my swim platform. Upon drilling the holes water was leaking from the underside of the platform. Seemed to me like a considerable amount. I believe the materials that make up the platform are 1. Fiberglass 2. Aluminum 3. Foam 4. Fiberglass in that order. I didn't see any wood in the shavings. Lucky the swim platform is external and not part of the boats structure. So my question is what to do about it?
