View the latest post Sofa bed for 3297/330 Mariner
- Posted by: Jenniferw » October 18th, 2015, 12:09 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
We just purchased a 1995 330 Mariner. A prior owner removed the Flexsteel sofa bed and used folding directors chairs. We would like to find a replacement sofa bed. Flexsteel dealer said we need to have a model number to even have a shot at getting one. Can someone please take a look at an original one and let me know the model number? And would anyone know where we could get a replacement? Thank you!

Our boat was hauled out last week and we got a call from the marina that the eyelet (or what ever it is actually called) that they hook the winch up to is loose and should be fixed. First of all, what is that called? Secondly, is it a diy or should we be calling a boat repair guy?

Question for you electronics guys or gals. The Carver I bought in August came with a Gateway 17" LCD TV. I am getting ready to put the boat on the hard for the upcoming winter season. My question is: Should I take the TV home or will I possibly damage it by leaving it on the boat over the winter. Temps here can get as low as -20* F.
Thanks in advance.

I need to replace several of the toggle switch circuit breakers from a vintage 1983 Carver......any thoughts on a place that might carry that type of inventory or a suitable replacement for the original breakers?

Hi,
I'm looking at a 1993 Carver 2828 (branded as a 300) with twin Volvo Penta 501 V-drives. I'm somewhat familiar with Mercruiser and Crusader. I have never even thought of Volvos. Do any of you have experience with Volvo Penta with V-drive? Good? Bad? What are your opinions? I would be using this boat in fresh and salt water.
Thank you.
Scott

Picked her up in Massapequa, NY on 10/8 and brought her to Gosnold, MA. Had a great two day run stopping at Oakland's in Shinnecock Thursday night, thru the canal and 5 hours later into Buzzards Bay. Great boat!. 1998 with twin merc 454's and burns a fair amount of fuel when you travel at 22 kts but we needed to beat the storm.
Only have two weeks before she is put on the hard for the winter.

View the latest post length of hose?
- Posted by: Jeff Thornton » October 12th, 2015, 6:43 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Anyone know the length of hose I would need to pump out a 1989 2757 Montego?
I have one that the head/shower has water built up. ran the pump and the level went down but as soon as pump was shut off it rose back up again.
Can't find the tank to do a visual (Carver manuals is missing sheets) or even find the routing of the hoses to give me a hint.
It is already on the trailer in the back yard so I thought I would just do a pump out there.
If anyone would have the locator guide sheets that are referenced in my manual bout not found in section O, I would love them!
Thanks!
Jeff
