I am new to boating, and this is my first boat. I am learning quickly and looking forward to the season. I am a snowbird, so I will start my boating in October. I may sneak down to Florida for a quick week of boating. I have enjoyed reading the past post to educate myself on boating and the Carvers. I currently have my boat docked at a brokers dock in Cape Coral, as he is caring for the boat, untill I move it to Naples in OCtober. If any of you know of a preffered dock in Naples, please let me know. I am sure I will reach out and ask questions, as I get more involved with boating.

I have a 1997 325 aft cabin with two 350 Crusaders. Flo-Scans were installed somewhere along the way by a previous owner. The starboard seems to work, but it jumps around a bit at times, and the total fuel used is way low. The port needle never comes off the peg, except to bounce around every now and then. Total fuel used on that side shows almost nothing.
Anybody recommend where I should start looking for this problem?

I'm new to boating and I wanted to know where I could buy canvas items like the standard cover for the summer and the camper zip up canvas with windows for when you sleep on it.

Kind regards

Hey all,
I've put up with this small issue for almost a year now and want to know how to fix it.

My rudder position indicator gauge, when the boat is going straight, is deflected almost a quarter needle to starboard. Does anyone know how to adjust the sending unit or gauge to center the indicator?

Not a big deal but I like stuff to work like it is supposed to work.

Thanks in advance.

Looking at a 1994 Carver 37 Aftcabin, any input would be great. Has anyone taken this boat from Florida to the Bahamas?

Aloha everyone!
I am a co-owner of a 92 Carver 534 with twin 7.4L Mercruisers. I really love the boat design and thought it was in great shape based on survey and sea trials, but as with an older boat, there is always something. Happy to be a member of the Carver Owners Group and looking forward to learning from all of you.

I have the fuel selector valves set to draw out of the port and stbd. Tanks. But both engines seem to be drawing out of the aft tanks and the othe two remain full.
What am I missing here.
Thanks, John

On May 1st, the Pride Marine Group had many staff on hand, at their official opening of Lagoon City Marina on Lake Simcoe. As the new operators, they seem to be getting quickly organized, and the management and staff were very approachable and helpful. There are over 270 slips in Lagoon City, with many anxious boaters still waiting for this season's launch. Mr. Roger Moore is the new site manager.

A familiar face to many in the boating community, Mr. Brian Berriault, previously of Midland's Bay Port Marina, has joined the Pride Group at the Lagoon City location. I watched Brian giving personal direction to a crewmember, and careful attention, as the travel lift launched a large vessel. Obviously, Brian is a pro.

If one can imagine taking over a previous marina operation [Crates of Keswick], where it has been locked up for the past five or six month, attempting to learn the location, clients, get the machinery working, the travel-lift which needed upgrading, etc., it would not be an easy task. That said, many fellow boaters I spoke with in my visit there this past weekend, had favourable comments on the new operator.

(The court appointed Receiver for bankrupt Crates Keswick, had control of the property until April 30th. Crates never owned Lagoon City Marina; they had a ten year lease from the property owner, a Toronto investment firm.)
I emphasize it was Crates Keswick that went into receivership; not to be confused with Crates Lake Country Boats Orillia, who was not affiliated with the Keswick business.

cheers all,

Steve
