I am unable to get shore power to the right half of my main panel controlling the AC and AC pump. The left side for everything else shows 120 and is all good. When on ship power, everything works fine on generator. This problem just started last week. The marina noted that the power on the dock is fine. I have checked the breaker in the main box and found the right side tripped. The breaker at the stern was checked and appeared on. It was reset but nothing happened. Any ideas?

Check out the winds and weather in your area before heading out. This could be a very useful site for us boaters.

Well I finally made the move and upgraded Midnight Sun to a longer/larger boat. For anyone interested my previous boat was a 32 express Bayliner Avanti, highly modified. http://midnightsun.smugmug.com/Midnight-Sun-Photos/ Have been searching for OUR perfect ride for quite some time and when all hope was really gone we decided to visit one last boat this morning. The layout is exactly what we need. It was bought new by the original owners and delivered to Lake Memphremagog, Quebec Canada in 2007. http://www.google.ca/maps/place/Lake+Me ... 14!6m1!1e1 Has spent it's entire life on this lake so fresh water only, condition is excellent overall. My wife was actually sick and tired of looking for boats and told me this morning "only reason I am going with you this morning is because I love you". After 5 mins on the boat, she was as excited as a teenage girl and we both new this is exactly what suits our needs. Made an offer right then and was accepted on the spot. :cheer: A little bit more about this boat. Truly a rare find as some of these have 5.7 volvos in them and some 8.1's. This has Volvo D6 electronic diesels all gauges are electronic including throttle fly by wire on a single stick for shift/throttle. Fully loaded with every option, radar, auto pilot, gps, Seatalk, all Raymarine stuff. CO dectectors, halon, oversized chrome anchor as these people loved to anchor out. Ordered from Carver with additional house bank batteries 8x 6v. :woohoo: Inverter, windlass, front and rear washdown with dual spigots for both lake water or potable water. Cannot even hear the engine when it is fired up as it has underwater exhaust. Bow and stern thrusters. Additional custom factory installed rear Sunbrella platform cover. Even has a diesel Wabatso heater with outlets throughout the boat and extended to the bridge installed as a special request option by Carver at the factory! I could go on as the list is incredible but would get rather boring. In a nutshell, loaded to the gills.

Cruises nice up on plane at 22 knots @ 28gph total consumption. Top speed is 29knots. Hull speed is exceptionally economical. We have some shallow locations we love to get in to and this boat draws only 2'7", thats crazy little in this size but a huge plus for us.

Will take possesion next spring as it will be stored by the owner for the winter. Sale is obviously conditional to oil and coolant analysis and full survey. Not to worried as the owner runs the marina and works on the boats there so maintenance was like clockwork.

I was hoping to find a rebild kit for my head. I cant seem to find out if it's a Grote or some other type. Help Please...

Hello fellow Carver owners,
My wife and I have been boating on Lake St. Clair from Michigan since the mid 80's and even back then Carvers always caught our eyes as beautiful boats.
Our 1979 25 foot Santa Cruz found us about Eight years ago. It was in great shape, but needed a little TLC. Love the Boat and it fits into our schedule and budget. We are now in the process of reworking and updating systems to make it a little more comfortable for over nights.
Look forward to picking your brains and experience and meeting up on the Great Lakes !

Newbie Needs Help!
Purchased a 3207 and now to winterize it. Live in an area with no mobile service center that can do the task. There is an RV center but felt uneasy when they asked me "What does WInterizing a boat entail".

I did download Winterizing list form BoatUS but woud really would like to know what has to get done and what can wait. The area I live in does snow but doesn't get below 19 degrees often but this year is suppose be colder so best to be safe than sorry.

Thank you,

Hi All!

I'm still getting to know my '94 Carver 390 CPMY. Great boat, but I've got a few little electrical nigglies. The aft sundeck has a couple of lights in it that don't come on. In the main salon next to the door leading aft, there are two light switches. One turns on salon lights, and the other just a little light on the stairs leading down to the aft stateroom. Does that also turn on the lights out back on the sundeck? I tried putting a voltmeter on the circuit, but got no power. Could the switch that controls these lights be elsewhere?

Hope you can help!
