Hey everyone,
Just saying hi. We purchased a 1989 Carver Montego 25' and are excited to get out on the water this spring!
This is our first Carver and first boat! I am sure we will be in for many surprises!
This site looks like it will be helpful!

OK, my new to me 356 has one head not working. Worked during survey and at least once/twice after.
Now it's not doing anything.
Suggestions guys? Could this be electrical or more of a clog situation.
This is our first boat with Vacu Flush, so I'm a complete newbie on this one. No stranger to heads as I've done rebuild kits on several heads in the past, both manual and electric.

I have a 2001 Carver 444CMY with twin Cumming 370. I need to replace my shaft zinc. I can not find anywhere that tells me the size. I believe they are 2” could anyone verify
Thanks

I have four(4) of these in my 430. Two(2) in the galley and one(1) over, behind each bed.
Are these lights 120VAC or 12VDC? Thank you.

Just purchased a 2006 41 CMY , Volvo D6-310A, 490hr. in Poulsbo, Wa. Survey showed a L turbo boost leak and elevated lead levels in the strbd transmission, other that that everything looks OK. Owner fixed the turbo boost and I will monitor the transmission with an oil test in six months.
Anyone know what kind of fuel economy I can expect with the D-6 310? The previous owner cruised at 15-1800 rpm, so I think he got decent fuel economy, i will likely push the speed into the mid teens, 12-15 gal / hr?
A beef with this boat is the lack of space for gear for extended voyages. Appreciate the photos of Midnight Sun II with the mods he has made. Anyone figured out a way to put on extra batteries for an inverter, i hate running the genset for a cup of hot water?
Appreciate the forum!
Cheers
JJ.

Hi everyone! Today my wife and I take ownership of a beautiful 1998 Carver 400 CMY with twin Cummins diesels. We are so excited for this new adventure! We have a slip on Harbor Island San Diego and looks like we have fun neighbors too. The yacht is in very good shape and our first projects will be new teak-like flooring in the salon, new mattresses and new carpet on the bridge. Hope to meet people from our area and to talk to others with like yachts.

I have a noisey forward head vent fan. I called Carver factory and was referred to a vendor for replacement but vendor referred me to a dealer that said the vendor didn't make the blower 3" squirrel cage vent fan. Anyone know a source for this fan?

In my 530 voyager I have the grey water ending up in bilge instead of being pumped overboard. The grey water pump seems to work ok. Is this a broken hose problem?

Hello all my wife and I are proud new owners of a beautiful 38 santego , we were wondering if anyone else has this same model and if you had and particular likes or dislikes. Last year we had a 32 mariner and loved it but we wanted a larger boat and bought the 38 we are very excited for this season.

Hi Guys!
I want to share with you the recovery of my carver 28 purchased after 6 years of inactivity. The old owner for his wife's serious health problems had completely forgotten to have such a beautiful boat.
I'll show some photos of the before and after the deep cleaning work
now I have to polish the upper part and wax it to give it a better look and take a few years less.
I also have to remove the old silicone in some areas and replace it with the sika.
