Carver Owners Forum

I am looking to purchase a 1998 Carver 405 or 406 owners manual. I havent located one online or in ebay. I searched the forum here and got zero results.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated :help:

Hello,
I have a question about starting our generator. We have a 1986 4207. I know we have to run the blowers for a few minutes before starting. On the panel does the Ship and the shore main breakers have to be off when I turn on the generator? I don’t want to fry anything.. mainly myself

I have a 1974 Carver Santa Cruz 2565, with an OMC 225 stern drive. I am looking for the rear seats that go on each side of engine housing, they are supposed to lay down and convert into a big lounge seat across the back. Or if anyone has blue prints of them would be great. Thanks

Hello all,
My name is Mike. Proud to be a new member, and Carver owner.
I bought a 1974 Carver Santa Cruz 2565, OMC 225 stern drive. Have not had a chance to put it in the water yet, had to do a few repairs first( well didnt have to, but i felt i needed to).
But i am very excited to have it, and hopefully soon be able to put it in the water.

I purchased my boat at the end of last season, did a sea trial at 17 Knots.
This year I cannot reach above 15Kn at 3000 RPM
I have Mercruiser 5.7L and both engines behave the same, if I push the throttle above 3000, the RPM starts going down.
Someone told me it could be the wrong pitch on propellers.
I did a survey at the beginning of the season and it shows I have propellers 18 x 18 as er the specs. Not sure if the inspector took the value in the specs or an actual reading on propeller.

Any info or comments on the above would be appreciated.

When I launched her in the spring, I mentioned that I was going to compare Pettit Zinc Coat and Eelsnot on the running gear. I decided to use the Eelsnot on new trim tabs and the Pettit on props and shafts.
I had to short haul the boat and here are the results. There does seem to be a clear winner.

Hello all! I just had my offer accepted on a 1994 Carver 390 CPMY! Sea trial and survey should happen next week! If anybody has specific areas I should be looking at before I finalize the deal, please chime in!

We are looking to keep the boat in Deale,MD (probably Herrington Harbor North). Any comments on marina's in this area would be much appreciated!

Looking forward to meeting everyone on here and swapping stories!

I need top replace the shower sump in my Carver. We use the shower all the time and thus shower sump gets used a lot also. I replaced the float last year with the most robust looking one at West Marine. The new float has failed with less then a year of service. All the shower sumps I've looked at seam kind of cheep. Is there a shower sump that is made to be used on a daily base? What sump is made for a large boat.

ps. I only have one shower that empties into this sump.

I am fortunate to boat in an area where the US is a stone throw away from us. Over the last 20 years I have fuelled up 90% of the time on the US side simply because it was so much cheaper however not so any more.

With high exchange rates, diesel prices at the marinas in my location are cheaper in Canada this year. My marina is at 1.39/l CDN which equates to $5.26 cdn/US Gal. On the NY side at the cheapest place I know, diesel is at $4.52US which equates to $5.95 CDN. Never before have I seen the rates cheaper in Canada. Guess I will be filling in Canada this year for a change. :-D

i have a 87 3207 just wondering where you guys mount your tv's i have a 32 inch and i want to relocate it . Pictures would be nice
