Post 1979 Carver 32, 3396 Mariner Barn Find!


Newbie here, my partner and I own Maritime Services Company doing salvage, recovery and demo of commercial and pleasure vessels.

We were called to come look at a 32 Carver for demo. This is, oddly, a true barn find. Older gentleman (now passed) was restoring a 1979 Carver 32, 3396 Mariner. Its too nice to demo. Interior is gutted to be redone, new wiring, stringers solid, rebuilt dual 315W's, transmissions rebuilt, new shafts, new 4 blade props, etc., bright work is spotless, all wood is solid.

Post Changing Impellers on Cummins 6BTA 5.9 -Any Tricks?


I've taken off the caps and inspected the impellers and they are fine. Managed to wedge my camera into the port side space to take a picture and did the rest by feel. However, when it comes time to change them out or replace one underway I'm wondering if anyone has any tricks, tools etc that make removal and installation easier, particularly on the port side that is wedged in between the fuel tank.
Thanks in advance.

Post Recommend me a TV/DVD for a boat...


Right, before I get a flaming for not just indulging in the lost art of conversation over a nice bottle of red instead, the only likely programmes viewed on this TV are likely to be In The Night Garden, Postman Pat, Fireman Sam and Thomas the Tank Engine. OK, and maybe Top Gear possibly.



However if anyone can recommend me a TV with the following attributes, I'd be grateful...



Bulkhead mounting

Durable, not going to break on a boat

12V/240V options

Some kind of built in aerial or solution that does no ...

Hi All,

We are looking for a 564 Cockpit Motor Yacht with the hard top option. Located on the gulf coast or the East coast. There are a couple listed now online, but that's it. Hoping someone may have an ear to the ground on any additional ones that may be hitting the market soon. Thanks in advance for any help!

Post Aft deck hardtop weight limit


Ok, I have a 356 aft cabin with a hardtop over the aft deck. Some years ago, I had a 3807, also with an aft deck hardtop. Owner's manual for both boats said they were not built to support any kind of weight.
I desparately need to get on my hardtop for a good cleaning and even wax compounding. The hardtop is so chaulkey that every time it rains, I get white streaks running down my isenglass and it looks like crap.
So, will my hardtop support my 200 lbs body to do this work?

Post Restoring Seaward Princess Electric/alcohol Cooktop


Last Spring acquired a 1993 Carver 300 Sedan and am determined to have it operating like the day it was born. We are making great progress, but the most important thing on the boat according to my bride, the Seward Princess electric/alcohol cook top, either doesn't work, or I am not smart enough to figure out how to work it. I would like to rebuild it and am hoping someone out there can point me towards a source of parts, or to someone who will rebuild it for us.



It may be that the alcohol sto ...

Post New Carver 356 Owner.


Happy Thanksgiving All!

After touring a friends 406, we decided to move up from our Trojan F32 to a Carver Motor Yacht this past winter. We found a 1999 356 in the Niagara River (Grand Island) in May, quickly had it structurally and mechanically surveyed upon the banks acceptance of our bid (she was a repo). After a few weeks of "getting to know her" and getting the maintenance caught up, we made the trip from the Niagara River to Sodus Point via Lake Erie, the Welland Canal, and the south shore ...
