Carver Owners Forum

Hello All,

I'm working on helping my father-in-law spec out a full upgrade of his navigation electronics for his 2002 Carver 466. Part of the upgrades would potentially include an autopilot. I'm attempting to appropriately size the hydraulic pump, but I'm struggling to find information anywhere on the volume of the hydraulic steering cylinder(s). I was hoping maybe someone had this information available, or could recommend a pump for this boat?

As of now, the plan is to use mostly Garmin gear so I'm leaning towards the Reactor 40 as the controller...but it seems like you can do it a lot cheaper by using an alternative pump like one from Octopus.

Appreciate any input!

Thanks,
Kidron

Hi, I have the chance to use a Mercruiser computer to check one of my engines for a few days but I can't locate the right connector on the engine. The only connector I found is near the distributor and it doesn't match the Mercruiser connector.
first photo is the Mercruiser adaptor and 2nd and 3rd are from my engine
I own a 2000 350 Mariner with 7.4 mpi
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi all, Relatively new owner of a 2000 350 Mariner. I will be searching for precious informations on this forum.

I want to get access to the area around and under the right side (near engines) night stand and wonder if anyone has pics or instructions on how to remove that night stand? I've removed the main salon a/c cabinet several times over the years and it just lifts off the wall mounted wooden cleat. Not sure how to go about removing the nightstands and don't want to just start yanking away. Also, getting a bit too old to be laying on the floor and looking around inside of it for fasteners, etc., so hoping it's similar to the salon lift-off cabinet.

Appreciate the help! Thanks!

Looking at purchasing this? Does anyone have info on these? TIA!

Does any know where the inverter is located ?

Looking for location of any secret breakers on Carver 3007 - 2 primary panels show no signs of scorching post scenario below;

in the midst of hunting down why generator wasn't pulling water I started Generator without shutting down main breaker and also didn't disconnect shore power at point of starting generator. At which point panels tripped. A couple of small receptacle items on port side would come up but at moment of switching on range that load tripped whole system and starboard side never came up. All outside power and lines accessed and operational.

Hello! New to the forum. I am inheriting a Carver which my grandfather has restored. Please forgive my lack of in-depth boating knowledge of the boat as this is actually my first boat. I am looking for information on this boat. It is titled as 1970 Carver Holiday with a Mercruiser sterndrive. I have found very little info it, and curious to learn more about them.
