Post Clunking in prop shaft at low RPM


Has anyone experienced a loud clunking in the prop shaft at low RPM. When adding just a little power it goes away and runs great. We greased the zerk fittings and that helped a little bit but it came back.

The boat is a Carver 36 gas engines.

Post First Carver - 1990 Santego 3867


Aloha!

Corvette enthusiast that is joining the nautical world to escape the insanity of landlovers and their far out agendas.



My husband probably thinks im on my 4th mid-life crisis at the ripe age of 34, but im really just searching for his next tinker project. He is an aeronautical engineer and from my boating childhood, I knew this purchase is the gift that keeps on giving, aka money pit. We will never run out of things to work on with this project.



If anyone out there has experience with this ...

Post What size refrigerator came on a 2001 Carver 350?


Hello all,

Of course it has been in the mid 90s and hotter the last week so thats not helping.
But in case I need to purchase a new frig, what size did the 2001 350 Mariner come with?
Cant find that info anywhere.
Thanks

Post Lithium vs. led battery


1998 400 CMY, has (2) 454 7.4l mercury gas engines. Access is very difficult to the last (2) batteries. What are the PRO's & CON's of switching to Lithium batteries? Assuming it can even be done.

All (3) current batteries need/want to be replaced.

Thanks in advance,
D&D

Post Aft Window 3807


We have a 1989 3807 Aft Cabin. The aft cabin has a window at the back. It is sealed. Just curious if this has been replaced or was it original? A friend has a 1990 35 ft with an aft window that opens. Thinking this would be our “escape” in case of fire, etc. any thoughts?

Post Kohler 6.5


As many of you have known, I have had some recent issues with my 6.5 Honda powered Kohler genset.

Post New Owner


Hello! New owner here. I just bought my first Carver. A 1990 Mariner 3297. She needs some work, but the technical threads I've read on this forum seem very well informed and the users seem very happy to help. I'm hoping to get my boat working properly and continue to be an active member here for a long time.

Post Airsep filters


I cleaned and oiled the airsep filters but I think I applied too much oil. Had a fair amount of excess which has drained onto oil pads.

I am concerned about damage to the turbochargers.

Thoughts and opinions welcome.

Post My Shakedown Cruise


I was thinking that my boat was beginning to feel neglected since I have spent most of my time on the jetski. Not wanting to anger the boating gods I decided to take the boat out for the weekend. Since launching May 1st I had only motored from the launch site to my dock.



So, Friday (yesterday) I fired up the engines and headed out for my Shakedown Cruise 2020. I left Gibraltar Boat Yard and headed out onto the Detroit River. I could have gone upriver the short way through the Trenton Channel but ...
