I need to replace my mid bilge pump on my 2001 530 pilot house . My mechanic is telling me it is located directly under two AC units and will be a major deal replacing the pump . Can anyone shed light on this ? Surely such an important pump wouldn't be placed in an impossible to get to place ??

Thanks for your help

We have a table and chairs in our salon and want to replace it with a built in L-shaped couch.

Also, on our lower bridge we want to replace the wicker furniture with an L-shaped couch.

Does anyone know of a vendor who can custom make these for our boat?

Thanks, Sam

Has anyone out there found a canvas color that is cooler than another.I have had black, and white....and now a tan color that I swear is hotter underneath than the black....the forum is open for opinions on canvas colors...

New to the Forum does anyone know where I can find the gold trim piece for recessed light fixtures in a Carver 2001 Voyager Pilot house.

I have a 87 Mariner that had a fuel guage that was working on only 1 tank when I got it - appears to not work at all now. Simple question - how is dash removed? I dsee one plastic plug on the top of the dash - is that it?

I am looking to replace the sliding glass door curtains on my 2002 350 Mariner. I have looked everywhere, but have had no luck finding either replacements or someone that does that kind of work. HELP!!! lol, thanks, Rick

I recently bought a 2001 404 CPMY and it does not have an enclosure. I tried Great Lakes Tops and they never made canvas for Carver. Wondering if someone knew who Carver used to make their tops and enclosures or did they do it in house? Or does anyone have one for sale? Thanks Art

I recently purchased a 1997 CARVER 325 Aft Cabin with twin GAS TB350 XLi engines. I am looking to inspect and replace (as needed) engine tune-up components since I have no assurance of any maintenance accomplished on the vessel prior to ownership and it needs some TLC. I am also trying to eliminate fuel delivery with an issue that I am having. I have the "second design" fuel delivery system. I see there is a "puck screen" on each fuel supply line which delivers fuel directly from the fuel tank on the port and starboard sides. The puck screen precedes the electronic fuel pump and then the gas is pumped to the fuel/water separator and then to the throttle body. I have changed the fuel water separators in both engines (they were clean and showed no dirt or water). An attempt to separate the housing for the puck filters was not made as I do not see a shut off valve in line. My generator has a fuel selector which can feed from either tank, but the Carver has separate tanks for each ENGINE. I assume removing the bolt to expose the puck screen will spill some fuel so my question is, is there a way to minimize the fuel spillage and/or how much fuel can I expect to get once I separate the two sides of the housing? Is there a shut off valve on this model that I am unaware of? If I pull the fuel delivery line and raise it above the tank level will that stop the flow? I assume I could plug the delivery line or just clamp it shut? It seems like a unsafe maintenance design to me? I appreciate any experience another owner can share. Thanks!

Purchased an extended swim platform for a Carver 350 Mariner - but the purchase of the boat fell through prior to installation. It was purchased from SwimPlatforms.com in Arizona - and will fit a Carver 350 or 360 Mariner. It is still in the original shipping crate with strapping intact. I will attach a photo of a similar extended swim platform. It is very similar to the photos - it has 5 vents, a 4 step ladder and retractable cleats. My cost was $5200 all-in. Open to reasonable offers through P/M. Shipping and installation will need to be arranged. Located in southwestern Ontario. Thanks

Hi CYO!!!

I am the proud owner (barring my bank note) of 2002 Carver 396 aft-cabin; named and registered her Following Sea

I too jumped from a 24 to a 41 LOA (at least that's what my marina dock slip denotes), bit scary but working through it all.

I have a 05 Wellcraft CC w 8-foot beam named and registered Fair Winds- great for everything in the bay

I hope to connect with like-minded Carver owners, share stories, learn, and possible help and advise

best,
Steve
