It should be interesting to see if there are a large number of used boats on the market this year once the pain of the high fuel prices hits home.

Still cheaper for you guys in the US, in Canada we are getting hammered, almost 1.80 a litre/6.84 CAD/ USG which is about 5.30 USD/USG and that is not marine gas, just highway. Diesel is even more.

A wild guess for marine gas in Canada to fill our old boat....250 USG total at 2.50 CAD/Litre = About 2375 CAD to fill from MT as opposed to approx. 1120 CAD when we sold it...... .....

Anybody got any current marine fuel price numbers on the water for gas and diesel ??

Kohler 10eozd diesel gen set is setting under voltage code when first cranked and shutting down.
If I keep trying to crank, it will eventually (after maybe 5 or so times) run and operate fine.
Seems to be a bad (corroded) connection or something.
Any suggestions on where to look or what to look for would be appreciated.
The manual is not much help on this code other than call for service.

Hi

I have purchased a carver 33 AFT from a friend of mine who originally shipped the boat from the USA, so I know her history and have always admired her. She’s the perfect boat for us as a family with loads of space, especially on the Flybridge.

I’m looking to replace my two 12-volt 51-amp Prestolite alternators on my boat ( 1 left hand & 1 right hand)

The engine is a Crusader V-8 454 CID/7.4 Litre - Model 454. I would like to upgrade them to the highest amperage output possible, I have the physical room to do so, and my battery banks are 2 x 840 ah

I was looking at the 10SI as per link and image below as someone said they are compatible but would welcome your views/ recommendations

I have just purchased a 1999 406 with Cummins diesels and although I was informed there was an up-to-date maintenance schedule of the vessel, it turns out the former owner has failed to make it available.

Is there a schedule of maintenance for this vessel that I can get hold of?

Thanks in advance,

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.

Well, if the survey goes well, I will be the owner of a 1994 Carver 370 Aft Cabin in a few weeks. So I want to say hello and thanks for the wisdom and insights that everyone puts on here. I spent time researching before I pulled the trigger of course. I am new to boating, at least one this large. I will be based out of Chattanooga, although I live about 30 miles south of Augusta,GA. and we go to TN to visit my daughter and family. Looking forward to traveling up and down the Tennessee River when I get more experience. I plan on taking courses and training offered at the marina. Anyone in the Chat area please reach out, I need all the advice I can get! Thanks again!

Any real difference except the external hinges versus the internal hinges? I need one for my 1994390 and I see the external hinges are backordered, but the internal are available at Defender.

Looks like it would fit as measurements are the same and I doubt the boat would know the difference?

Best,

Tony

Hello,

After watching a few youtube videos I think I can do this!
My windows have been torn and trashed (Hurricane Dorian) the fabric potion looks like it can be saved.

My question is what is the best replacement (thickest roll up for the front and thickest/best for the sides?
I'm thinking the thicker the product the less it will show wrinkles.

I have searched this website and have yet to find these answers.

Thanks in advance

So I didn't find anything in the original manual about trim tabs. Im troubleshooting to see if there is an actual issue or im just not doong something right. What has to be on in order to operate the tabs? Engine running? Engine just turn to ACC? Just battery switch on the cranking battery? Should there be a long delay before they move? Fuse is fine. Thanks.

Spending more and more time aboard our 1994 390CPMY means we need a more comfy head. We have 2 vacuflush units (truly think these are great and have had minimal issues. Has anyone use the bowl conversion kit to change from compact (read SMALL!) to a “deluxe” version for more comfort? I believe I could convert to a macerater type also, but looking to get out of it easier without reinventing the wheel.
