Post Kohler 7.3 Question


Can anyone give me an idea on where to focus troubleshooting for the following issue?
I start the engine, it turns over, runs for 5 seconds and stalls. Last week I replaced the fuel filter. There is plenty of oil and the impeller is new.
All thoughts and leads are appreciated.

Post Props shaft size


I thought I had scored, but need to check further. My 390CPMY with 454’s and Hurths, I buy 1 3/8”. Shaft zincs, and my one prop I replaced was 1 3/8” shaft. I bought a set of 22 x 21 props, as I need to get a higher WOT. However, looks like teh shafts bore is 1 1/4”. I am going to check against the prop I removed. However, my question, is a prop reconditioning shop able to bore out to 1 3/8” ( an additional 1/8”) if needed to use these? Just wondering, or I will probably resell these.

Post 1993 Carver 380 AC - Fabricated Corner Extrusion


Hi everyone, I'm a new CYO member with my first Carver, a 1993 380 AC. LOVE this boat!



Bought it in Oct 2019 in Port Clinton, OH on Lake Erie. Took two full months to find a facility and to get on their schedule to remove the arch and hardtop, as well as, pull all the running gear out. Just a really bad time of year given that all the marinas were pulling and winterizing their customers. Finally, it was transported via tractor trailer and delivered in Dec 2019 on Friday the 13th... seamed a ...

Post Kahlenberg Zero Series Horn Install


So my electric el cheapo horns died, they never did sound very loud to begin with. Went to buy new ones and then did something crazy. :beergood: Instead of buying cheap poor sounding run of the mill electric horns for a couple hundred, I went with the creme de la creme which is Kahlenberg. https://www.kahlenberg.com/products/mar ... horns.html



This involves installing a mini compressor with tank, air hose, a switch and an air valve. Not complicated at all but my estim ...

Post Replacement port side ladder landing for '85 Carver 36 Mariner


Since I bought my boat, the bottom rung of the 4 step ladder on the port side of my 36 Mariner is broken/missing. This is a real hazard for anyone making the ascent. Does anyone know where I could source this, or a complete ladder assembly?

Post 2000 Carver 356 Battery Issues


:angry:



2000 Carver 356...



I replaced the batteries and charger with the identical units that came with the boat when purchased. The batteries have lost about 3 weeks now and will not start the boat. The charger was reading 14.2v on the readout, but is now reading 11.4. When attempting to start the boat, it reads 8.2. I can’t seem to pinpoint an exact issue because the charger is putting out 11volts it reads to the battery, and the batteries reads 11v each. Any idea why this sudden issue would be ...

Post 1990 3297 Mariner port fuel tank removal


I have a 1990 3297 Mariner. First of all, I love this boat. with the cockpit floor lifted there's access to pretty much everything. My wife and I were able to pull the starboard fuel tank quite easily.

We got it repaired and back into the boat. We now need to pull the port tank for a similar repair. It looks like it will come out much more easily because of the shorter profile of the tank. The only problem is the forward strap that holds the tank down. It appears to be about 48" forward of ...
