Just a little calculation.
2004 360ss, 2x 8.1 VP's
50 hours, 302 liters used (80 US gallons).
Cost= $412 Canadian.
=$1.36 a liter.
6.04 liters per hour , equals, $8.21 per hour to putt around in this boat.
This boat is cheaper to run than my other boat, a Rinker 280ec with 1 x 8.1 Merc.
Wow.......

Hello my name is Mike and my wife and I are not new to boating but new to the yachting side. We have a 1996 320 voyager with twin 350 crusaders. We are frustrated at the moment due to the starboard engine dies randomly. Here is what I have done and found so far, installed new OEM electric fuel pump, new OEM anti syphon valve, new ECU unit. On to the trouble shooting part, at this time I have wired in a green light from the ECU to the fuel pump so I know when it looses voltage. Once it looses vol ...

Hi everyone hope you had a great weekend,
Renovatio NY here. I’m jelious no boat decision yet.
I’m stuck. We have the option and my wife is OK with which is the most important part . We have the choice between a 2001 Carver 466 and eight 2001 506. Both seem to be without major problems both seem to be very close in price.

The 506 has both bow and stern thruster, while the 466 has bow thruster ...

I was running some wires through the area of the Battery disconnect switch, and when I was replacing the panel, a pole broke off of one of the ETA 50A circuit breakers. I know I am a bit needy lately, but does anyone have a source for these? I saw some on EBAY but not exact match ups. It was an ACC breaker, and 50 AMPS. Attached is a photo of the numbers on the side. It appears to be sistered up to the 60A breaker next to it. Thanks again, the wealth of knowledge here is outstanding! ...

We love our 450 voyager, but she is too tall to make The Great Loop. Has anyone hinged their arch?

New owner of 1994 320 Voyager. Equipped with Marine Air System 16K to run on shore power. Boat had been sitting on the hard until July 3rd. Marine air appeared to work initially and cooled the boat to 77 degrees according to digital display when outside temp was 91. Today it is struggling to maintain 85 with outside temp of 91. Owners manual for the AC was not with the boat. Any and all guidance is very much appreciated.

Hello All! Looking for some input here. Gen is not firing up and the canister fuel filter is dang near empty? Is this a fuel pump issue?

Hi



I have a '96 carver 400 with the 'little' big blocks. Crusader 7.4 XLI



I think these are the original 96 manifolds. And I got a hole in one or the gasket is shot. I dont know because i took ownership in 2016. I purchased two Crusader manifolds and elbows, bolts, gaskets, etc. Its the one under the couch so it didn't get much attention.



I need some advice on the port engine, the elbows / manifold closest (And i mean close) to the fuel tank. I already soaked the elbow bolts and nuts with PB b ...

Ok, this is becoming an ongoing issue. As mentioned in other posts, I installed an Promariner 2000 watt PS inverter last year with a new battery bank. We run the outlets on the boat through the inverter, which includes the circuit for the microwave. That may or may not have anything to do with the problem.



We are having a problem with what I would call an amperage surge with the microwave. When we have the microwave on for more than a couple of minutes, the amps surge from 14 amps to over 30 and ...

Hello All!! I attempted to change the capacity setting on the Fresh water counter Under the galley sink, and now it doesn’t count down any more...... any idea what settings should be to get it going again?
