Post Good summer of boating


I bought my 92 330 aft cabin this year. When I purchased the boat we knew it needed love, over the summer we were able to give her the needed love she deserved. It was a bonus having to repair things, I know the boat like the back of my hand now.
I want to thank all the members that answered questions I had posted. I hope I can help other members out with there questions. I have posted some pictures of our progress. Hope you enjoy.

Post New props for my 530


I'm curious what you all are using for your prop set up. I currently have 31x34 nibral on my 530 with TAMD74P's with ZF 2.55:1 transmissions. I think these are really big wheels and am considering dropping down to 28x31.5 nibral. I recently dinged a prop and after repair, haven't made past 2450 on rpm. I think the prop shop put a couple inches of cup back into the props that had been previously tuned out, but even so I think these are just too big for my set up. See any problem with propping dow ...

Post Gas Cap Maintenance


Just a reminder as many never think about this. Your gas cap has an o-ring on it that seals the tank and keeps rain/wash water out of your tank. I highly suggest you remove it/them and replace with a new if you have never done so or if it looks to be in great shape then just apply silicone grease or o-ring lube to it. This will keep it looking and working great not to mention the gas cap comes on and goes off much better. A telltale sign it needs lube is slight squeaking when installing or remov ...

Post Charging House Battery from Alternators


I was on the hook this weekend and needless to say I was on my house battery with periodic generator use. The house battery was charging fine while using the generator in the morning and in the evening to boost things up.



The problem I am having is charging my house battery when I am underway. My alternators charge all my batteries when I am underway. I have a hi-amp breaker under my step that is connected to the alternators line to the house battery. When the house battery is low, like after ...

Post 83 aft cabin toilet


We recently purchased a 83 3207 aft cabin. We love it so far but have a couple issues I’m hoping someone can help with. The main cabin toilet will not flush. It will fill up with water to the rim of the seat but not flush. I thought maybe the tanks were full so ask our marina to pump them. They informed me they could get one to empty but couldn’t get to the other one. Which leads to Second issue



How do you get main cabin toilet to flush?? Or what reason would prevent it from flushing?



Secondly i ...

Post Best iPhone Apps for Carver Owners?


Does anyone use iPhone Apps to keep their logbook, navigation, and repair/maintenance records? I have found a lot of Boating Apps in the iPhone App Store, but am overwhelmed by the choices. I use the BoatUS App for my Membership and Insurance. I am using Nebo to chart my trips right now 'cause it's free. I was looking at Garmin ActiveCaptain, but I don't have a Garmin GPS onboard. I have a B&G but don't see any iPhone Apps that work with B&G. If you use an iPhone App to keep any of ...

Post Sanitation Hoses


New to Forum: Another question. Purchased a 1989 2557 Montego two years ago. 5.7 Mercruiser with Alpha outdrive. 496 total hours. Nice craft but boy, does she stink in cabin. Research tells me it is probably permeated sanitation hoses. I agree since they appear to be original from 30 years ago. Anyone with tips before I start replacing regarding the fishing of these lines through stringer and up into head area? Also from holding tank and up to deck waste port. I am also replacing the or ...
