I'm replacing the gasoline fill hoses on a 1984 Carver 3207. What hose should I use or not use?
Thanks.

- Posted by: Lisasammy » October 10th, 2022, 9:04 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Under the steps when entering the cabin is hull of boat with bilge pump. Access to this area is under seat through door in floor. There is always standing water in there, pump can only get so much out. Does anyone know of a drain plug or another way to get all the water out? Boat has now been stored and water must have ran to the front so it can't be sucked out. Worried about freezing over winter.

Anyone else read this as both diagrams are for a left hand rotation? I would think the bottom diagram should be going clockwise.

Hi all,
Recently purchased a Mariner 2897 with twin 5.0 Mercruisers. I would love to know what folks see on average for GPH at 16-18kt cruise, as well as any interesting ownership stories, sea tales, etc. We'll be launching in coastal Maine next spring - I CAN'T WAIT!!

I have a 1987 Montego 2757 with twin Mercruiser 470s with Alpha One outdrives. I'm not going to do oil changes this year because the boat was barely used. The engines have closed cooling systems. I plan to drain the heat exchangers, but I don't know what else needs to be drained. Are there water drains in the outdrives or any other place?

Hi all i have been very busy over the winter months on my 1999 530 after taking the boat out of the water we noticed the boat had a lot of osmosis so this begun an epic project... all cancer was ground out then fibreglassed and the re Antifouled at this time i decided to add a stern thruster and also new underwater lights . i stumbled across a high low platform a guy had remover from his 540 Sea Ray so i had it modified to fit the shape of the Carver hull and had to fabricate new mounting boxes to attach it to the transom and the existing platform this was a mammoth job but it is nearly completed . I am also in the process of adding a Copilot yacht controller type system i purchase from another member... will add more pictures as we go along .. safe boating from Melbourne Australia

Hi team,
I am about to close on a 2001 Carver 466 aft cabin. Big step up for me now that the kids are gone - last boat was a 1993 210 horizon and before that an 1988 Chris Craft Scorpion. Late in the season here so probably 1 cruise to get it home to RI and then on blocks for the winter. Looking forward to cruising the NE shores with the wife, family and friends. Hope to run into as many of you as possible in the coming years! - Dave B

I have been tripping the salon breaker and main on Breaker bank 1. I bought a new 15amp breaker to replace but it appears the main breaker and next 2 15amp breakers are pined together. Is this normal? If so where can I get the 3 breakers to replace?
