I have to replace my port engine fuel pump and the outlet inverted flare fitting is damaged. The male threaded part sheared off while tightening in the fuel pump. I have looked in numerous crusader part list manuals and no reference to this fitting. Does any one know where I can find this fitting part number or better yet.......where I can purchase

Does anyone know which owners manual on the carver boat website is for a 1988 30 ft carver Santiago with dual Volvo penta engines. Stern drive.

I am beginning the restoration of my 1984 3607,



Project 1 keep water outside where it belongs.

A) portlights seem to all have problems. So any assistance on identifying part numbers would be appreciated.

most of the portlights are 24 by 7 inches +- rectangular. Ideally I would like to just replace the lenses but am not opposed to replacing the whole fixture. most of the knobs for the dogs are missing as well. The seals look good so I can probably get away with just lenses.



B) I think anot ...

I just purchased a 1984 Carver 3607 Aft Cabin.



I bought it in Islip Long Island NY. Hopped on it and began my trek to Norfolk Virginia.



Day 1 survived the trip in the Atlantic with my 36 year old project, ported in Atlantic City on starboard engine only, previous owner indicated he had shortened the fuel tank pickup to keep dirt from clogging system 30 gallons short??? Realized that my course put me out of cell phone range and probably VHF range of shore. A bit of a rude awakening losing ...

These filters are hard to come by not to mention expensive. Found this on eBay, bought 4 to help absorb shipping costs so I have for 2 years. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/273809223390

We just joined this forum this morning. We recently purchased a '86 Carver Santa Cruz 26 foot. We are new to this size of boat and thought this would be a good place for information on our boat. We have been doing a little work on it. Right now I'm looking for the original stile anchor and generator. Thanks in advance for any information.

Signed a contract on an '83 3607on the Tennessee River.



Why? Darned if I know.



Boat hasn't been used much in last few years, but not in really bad shape.



Names that pop into my head are: DAMN BOAT for obvious reasons, and MAILORDER BRIDE, because they always look better in pictures than in real life.



Since I'll be single handling her most of the time, hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. Time will tell.



Expect to see a lot of dumb questions (yes, they do exist) from me.



Happy motoring

Hi all,

What is recommended for your fresh water holding tank when your boat is in heated storage? Our haul out is next week and I've heard people say empty the tank and other say fill it and treat it with a small amount of bleach. Like half a capful per 10 gallons? Just looking for recommendations.

Thanks!

Does anyone know what font is used in the Carver text on the side? (1991) I'm not very good at scrolling through hundreds of fonts to get a similar one (after 25 they all seem alike) so would be happy with a pointer in the right direction.

I'd like to use the same font for the registration number on the hull rather than some fancy or prehistoric default font.

Hi Folks,

So, none of my four bilge blowers on my 2003 530 are working. It me a while to find them. The are wedged between the fuel tanks and the hull with essentially no way to access them that I can see. Has anyone attempted such a repair?

many thanks
Tim
