Well, I was eyeing another sail boat when my wife saw the 2757 and I was done for.

It's a 1989 and in pretty good shape with good maintenance history and 532 hours on the meter.

Our season here on Lake Superior is quickly coming to a close, so I am not sure if we'll get it wet yet this season, the leaves are already well upon their way to fall and I still have two other boats being utilized. This will give me a chance to learn things about the vessel. Like the unlabeled black toggle switch located near the galley sink that doesn't seem to do anything?!?!? You know, that type of stuff.

Hope to learn great things from all of you!

We are in our second season with our 1999 350 Mariner. Overall we LOVE this boat and it is perfect for the type of boating we do.

The things we love most:

The room on the flybridge is just amazing, especially after we had new canvas done in the spring that extends over the rear seat.

The amount of interior space/storage

Handles really well, as long as its not too windy

The shower!

Things that we don't love or find curious:

The water that collects on the swim platform, stairs and swim ladder because it is nose heavy

The outlet at the helm on our boat wasn't working at first. Figured out that it is a GFCI outlet (as it should be) but the outlet with the GFCI reset is inside the bow storage area at the back of the helm where all of the wiring is. Not sure how one would ever get in there if you have the optional ice maker.

We have water that mysteriously collects in the furthest forward bilge area. There is a bilge pump in there but it can't remove all the water. Have driven myself crazy trying to figure out where the water is coming from

A couple of questions for other 350/360 Mariner owners:

Has anyone taken out the existing carpet and galley wood floor and installed hardwood or something else in its place? We have two dogs and a cat on board and the carpet needs to be ripped out. Trying to work through the best option for a replacement floor covering

Looking to also possibly replace the cockpit and flybridge carpets. The ones that came with it are getting warn and if they get wet, they take forever to dry. Just removing them and having no covering isn't an option. With two big muddy shedding dogs, that nice white doesn't stay white for more than a few seconds. Looking at the wood look Nuteak (or similar) or the new Infinity woven fabrics that are really light weight and look like they would be easier to keep clean. Does anyone have experience with either of these?

Looking forward to hearing from others who are enjoying their Mariners!

I have a 36' carver mariner vintage '87. I have a very simple question, My nav lights won't work, but I have power to the entire instrument panel. I would like to check the fuse's, but need to know where to look? do I need to remove the instrument panel to access the fuses?

Hello everyone! I am an owner of a 1987, 36' carver mariner. looking forward to learning from the pros on bringing my carver back to new condition

I have a 1988 3207 Aft Cabin Carver. The Starboard throttle on my flybridge keeps slipping so I have to continuously hold it to keep it in position. Does anybody know if there is a way to adjust the cable to increase the tension? The flybridge is connected to the lower helm but I couldn't locate a connection point on those controls.

Hi,

We just bought a 33ft Carver Mariner and I have some questions regarding the shrink wrapping of the boat over the winter. I am concerned about moisture that could be left in carpeting, upholstery etc and the wrapping it up and causing mold over the winter. Is this an issue or am I just being paranoid??? The previous owner didn't cover it at all.

Barb

Hi all,

My husband, Doug, and I, Barb, purchased a 1982 Carver Mariner in August. It is 33ft with twin 270hp Crusader engines. We have enjoyed the puttering around the boat we have done. Haven't yet gone out overnight, looking forward to doing that next season. Docking on the beautiful Lake of the Woods - Kenora, ON.

Hello!

I'm a new boat owner - just bought 1996 Carver 325. Located in Boston, MA. Looking for right plastic rail skirt to replace a broken one.

I am a part time Sarasota FL resident (land based) and looking to purchase a Carver 506 or 46 to replace the house in summer 2017. Doing a lot a research now to prepare for boating/seasonal live aboard and familiarity with Sarasota waterways. Looking forward to summer 2017! best Brian

I am looking for some feedback on where everyone stands on winter battery storage. I have had differing opinions on this from my marina mates. So, for all those who live in the colder regions of the continent, do you remove your batteries in the winter or just disconnect them and leave them on board?

Thanks in advance
Fraser
