Carver Owners Forum

Looking to buy a 1998 or newer 355 or 356 Carver Aft Cabin within the next 6 months to a year. Will be selling/trading our 1994 Carver 310 Santego at that time.

I'm new to this site. Having a hard time finding the model Carver I want in the state where I live (WA State). Thought I'd try an owner's group and network a little to see if I can find one closer to home.

I am wondering if there are any members here that are also members of the Great Lakes Cruising Club. I recently resigned from the club I belonged to and are looking at my options for joining another boating club or organization.

GLCC hits many of the buttons that work for me. Just wondering if any here also belong to GLCC. Would like to hear the positives and/or negatives from that membership.

Has anyone ever added a second set of engine controls on the stern of a Volvo 74 TMAD powered boat? I looked in the Parts manual and don't see what Im looking for. Ill call the local Volvo dealer but wondering if anyone has ever gone down that road. On the 506 it would really come in handy to be able to single hand since my wife is not comfortable handling the lines on the bigger boat.
Thanks

Looking to get this replaced or upgraded any thoughts or ideas?

It is about as big as regular fire extinguisher mounted in a regular mount on bulkhead.
It reads zero pressure and needs to be replaced or recharged.
Thanks for any help.

Hello! This may not be the right forum for this particular question, but I've got a 1985 3227 with the Hynautic Reservalve. I purchased a used Simrad 2403VRF autopilot system that utilizes the RPU80 reversible pump. There are 5 connections on the reservalve itself...two in from the helm(s), two out to the cylinder and the one for the supply (or return) line. The manual isn't clear on which lines get attached (and where) to the 'new' RPU80, which has three connections. I'm thinking I'll have to incorporate some "T" fittings in there somewhere? The RPU80 will go between the reservalve and the cylinder, right (as opposed to between the helm(s) and the reservalve)? Help?

I recently was reading comments as to Carver owners using 15-40 Shell Rotella engine oil. Several said they liked it. So I bought the oil and put it in one of my gasoline engines. Now I see it says diesel on the container. Duh! So I wonder if the forum I read was all from diesel owners! Help!

Hi,
I have 1989 Carver 3897 aft needing to replace fireboy halon suppression system. Could not find any instructions how to remove safely.

Please advise. Thanks

Hello all. Just joined. Computer ignorant so pls forgive all oversights as I acclimate to forum.

Safe boating!

Hello ya'll looking for some input. I'm looking to see if anyone with a 410 SS has removed the upholstered wall panels on the bulkheads in the salon & galley? I've seen pics on a similar boat that was for sale where someone had hung a flat panel on the bulkhead above the galley counter and I'd love to see what's behind that panel before I start drilling holes and hanging weight on it. Any clue how those come off? I've not found any fasteners at all. Any direction would be appreciated.
