View the latest post 1995 carver 370 w/ crusader engine rpm issues


I need help tracking down a problem. I have a '95 carver 370 acmy with crusader 454 XL EFI engines. As I brought the engine down to 1500 rpm the port engine began to vary in rpm...bouncing up and down from 800 rpm to 2000 rpm. The oil pressure gauge would bounce right along with the rpm's. can anyone tell me where to start in tracking down the cause of this problem. Thanks

View the latest post Attachment(s) Transmission Overheat


I have a '99 355 with Crusader 454's. It's been a little over a month since I took her out and both engines wouldn't go past 3200 RPM maintaining 18-19 mph WOT. She can usually go up to 29 mph WOT so figured the marine growth was causing the strain and hoped some of the growth would fall off and her speed would improve slightly... but never did. About 20 minutes into the trip the transmission oil overheat light came on the port engine thus the computer forced both engines to power down (but did not shut off). The light went out after the power down also. I put her in neutral then back in gear and putted all the way back to the marina at about 1200 RPM with no other warnings or issues. I didn't attempt to bring her up on plane again because I was just happy she was moving. Marine growth issue? Sensor issue? Any thoughts I can tell the mechanic to check into? Thanks everyone!

View the latest post ACU Location on 466


My friend just bought a 2007 466 MY and it came with a Raymarine 45STV satellite dish but we cannot find the antenna control unit. We looked everywhere we could think of including behind the salon TV but can;t find it. When we reset the breaker the dish does not move so either it is broken or the ACU is not there. Any suggestions would be appreciated

What is the purpose of the track and sliding cars on the port and starboard sides near the stern. It would appear that they are for attaching something. Any information on them?

View the latest post New owner!


just bought a 1988 Carver Santego. Its almost the twin to my last one sans the generator the color. The problems with this one are common and hopefully easy to repair. Where can we purchase new shift cables that are the same length and fit for the boat without first removing the cable? There isnt any visible part number on either cable. Can this boat be upgraded to electric shift? I would be interested in that. Thank you all for any help!
