View the latest post How to lubricate throttle cable on 350 Mariner

Hi Everyone,
My Starboard throttle sticks and I have to jamb it forward to get the engines to sync. Do I just need to oil the cable or do I need a new cable? Easy to do?
Thanks
Cam

Has anyone seen anything designed for a boat like we have in the cars etc with the zone lines and warning beepers for distance etc.....that may be quite helpful if it could be adjusted for your specific needs, especially for some of us that can't see the corners.....anyone ??......

Curious as to why exhaust was reduced to 3 inch off riser then adapted to 4 inch instead of using 4 inch the entire system.

My 1997 Quicksilver 330 inflatable has given up the ghost. It's leaking in a place that 2 inflatable repair shops said cannot be fixed. It is a PVC model so getting 21 years of service out of it is pretty good IMO.
Last week at the Detroit Boat Show I stopped by a couple of the vendors that were selling inflatables. I wanted to get another air floor model as I loved my air floor on the Quicksilver. Well, the vendor selling Brig did not have a model that could handle my 15 HP Mercury OB. The max HP for an air floor model Brig was 8 HP. I wanted to get a new inflatable not a new OB motor.
Then I stopped by Dinghy Concepts booth. I looked at the Achillies they sell. They are Hypalon and the one I would have needed was $2600. I then saw the Aventus models behind the Achillies. The Aventus is a PVC model that can be ordered with either a wood or air floor.
The boat show price was $1199.00 much more within my budget. I was not planning to replace my old inflatable but I guess after 21 years it's time for a new one. The only thing I don't like is it comes with only a 3 year warranty. My Quicksilver had a 5 year warranty. The air floor on that one did fail in year 4 and it was replaced without question. I pick mine up May 2nd.
Does anyone here own an Aventus inflatable? How is it holding up?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

My Garmin 741xs has a BNC connection for a camera.
The ones I've seen so for are about $400.
Has anyone used a less expensive camera while using the BNC connector on a MFD?

Hi,
Just pulled my 1992 370 and fixed 20 blisters. Paint was good and cleaned monthly. Is this common for Carvers in this year or model? Could this be one of the bad resin batches I've heard about with other manufacturers? Maybe inferior gelcoat? Nasty water in the ICW around Savannah? Great boat otherwise.

- Posted by: cruiser » February 25th, 2018, 8:21 pm
- Forum: Introduce Yourself!
New to Forum but long time boater
Gold Looper and multiple transits from Ohio to Fl etc.
Previously had aRegal 280,3207 Carver, Cruiser 3650 aft,(loop Boat) Cruiser 4450 aft, presently Cruiser 3670 for Lake Erie.
Looking at the Carver 500 Cockpit MY for a Florida and Bahamas boat.
Curious as to sea keeping abilities as the Cruiser 4450 was outstanding in all conditions.
We generally run 7-8 knots so rolling due to wakes and 2-3 ft waves are a concern. I would appreciate any feedback as to what I should expect as we are looking at 2 this week.
Fuel economy, true cruise speeds and fuel burn at cruise, top speed.
Slow speed, 7-8 knots fuel burn as well
Any of the Cummins to avoid or quirks in the 420 HP and 450 HP?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Good Karma
