Post New member new Carver 370 owner. Fridge thoughts?


Hello everyone,



My name is Patrick and I am the proud owner of a 1993 Carver model 370 Voyager.



I am becoming intimately familiar with my new purchase. I've already replaced both heads, the AFT cabin AC, and done numerous repairs throughout.



However the fridge on board is shot. I can tell this is not the original refrigerator, because it does not fit in properly.



Does anyone know where I can find a 12v fridge close to the original dimensions? I've looked on Amazon, but to no avail.



Thanks for any he ...

Post V drive light on


I was wondering why my v drive light was on on my 1984 carver with 220 crusaders even though I checked the oil which it said to do in the Manuel but the oil was full is there any other reasons why the light would be on.

Post Cummins all of a sudden wont hit rated RPM


For whatever reason, my 396 running 370 Cummins will not hit its rated rpm. Both engines are topping out at ~2800 rpm (should be 3300) There was growth on the running gear and bottom, which I had a diver clean. There is no increase in the boat weight and even ran today with 1/4 tank of fuel.



Is there anything from a turbo charge or fuel I should be looking for? Two engines, would one working at 100% pull the other up to rated RPM?



Looking for trouble shooting ideas please



Thanks

We can't wait to get out there! And my 6'4" husband is grateful to have the extra head and leg room! We plan to hit the water next week.

Post 83 3607 need to remove salon panel


I need to remove the panel in the salon panel from the helm to the stair. Not only does it need to be recovered but the plumbing is leaking in several places. I will also need to replace the fuel filler hose and the fuel lines that is behind this panel.

I cut he panel vertically behind the trim but can't get it to detach by the stairs as it is secured into a trim piece that is attached to the aft wall.

Thanks for your help

Post Carver 2005 33 SS Toilet Lets Fresh Clean Water Into Bowl When Not In Use


Hello All,

My toilet all of a sudden is letting fresh clean water into the bowl when not in use. Within about an hour the bowl over flows. I have had to turn off the water to the boat but need to turn it back on for general use but can't due to the problem. I have a fresh water electric head. Not sure but think it is a Jabsco.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks...

Post Carver Paint Codes


I've had 3 different Carver boats scanned with a spectrophotometer, looking to match metal work paint. The 3 boats were

95', 96' 370's, and a 98' 405. Radar arches, hard top supports, Engine make up Air Vents, ect.



All three have come up with the same Paint Code over a period of 4 years: Mazda PT or VX.



The PPG equivalent is: 4927



I may even try some roller and tip with the project that I'm working on now. BUT, an automotive paint supply or really good auto parts store will mix you up a spray bom ...
