We just installed an HD tv antenna and need 12v for the booster. I found a lot of audio equipment under/behind the passenger seat, along with a route for the cable tv and nav light wiring. The problem is: I can only remove a cover that is already inside a stowage compartment to see in to the audio equipment location. No way to work around in there, though.

Can I remove the side seat to gain access? I only see two bolts in the stowage location that the seat would mount, both toward the bow.

Not sure how else I will get 12v to the booster location. Alternate location for the booster plate will be considered, too.

Any help will be appreciated!

New to big boating; got our Montego 3257 (37' LOA) early June, 2014. Previous boat was a Chris Craft 21 Concept Cuddy (22' LOA), and before that was a 16.5' bow-rider.

I've taken to the twins pretty good and the wife puts it into the slip pretty darn good, too. Heck, she taught me boating, so I wasn't surprised. I've been on iBoats for quite some time, but haven't seen much action in the Carver section there, so I am hoping to gain some knowledge here.

I can turn a wrench, so I hope to save a little money on DIY things. I know where my (afraid I'm getting in over my head) limit is, but first I hope to understand what each project entails.

I've learned a good Google string to search specific sites, so I will look closely here before I ask questions on most things.

I am a member of GMTNation.com, a forum that is VERY active, and I've found many posts get a reply pretty quick here, too. Let me know if I should consider joining other forums as I learn the mechanics of this new-to-us Montego.

Thanks and we'll see you on the water!

I have a Carver Montego 25 and the depth gauge LCD display has black blobs on it making it hard to read. Does anyone have a faulty one with a good display

Thanks

Looking for and ideas on where to start looking.

I have a 2003 360 Sport Sedan with 5.7 Volvos and ZF 61 transmission with 600 hours on both engines.

Issue: After the engines warm up and I run it for a little while, the Starboard engine runs between 800 and 1000 RPMs higher than the Port side when idling. Normal idle is ~800 RMP, which is where the port-side engine stays.

Since the starboard engine is at such a higher RPM, shifting is very hard. Not good!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Any suggestions on an affordable bed linen for a 396 Carver?

We have been boating on Lake Ontario for 4 years, bought a Carver 41CMY in spring from a dealer on Simcoe, made the trip through 41 locks to Port Whitby, bored down here so next spring we are making the trip back to Lake Simcoe, have a slip at Starport. Our boat was originally docked at Starport so it's going back home. Looking forward to being there next year.

For sale: a used Heart Freedom 25 (2500 watt) Inverter/Charger.

In great working condition, I'm selling because I just upgraded my set up.

I'm asking $600 plus shipping. I accept credit cards or PayPal only.

Please only serious inquires.

Hello! Our 1989 2557 Montego came without the table for the v-berth (they fashioned a piece of wood to fit in its place to support the cushions for sleeping and it appears to still have the pedestal). We'd like to either find an old part somewhere to replace it or figure out how to fashion one ourselves. Has anyone taken on a project like this? If so, any advice? The next step will be to recover some of the cushions. Fun! Any advice, ideas, etc., is greatly appreciated!

last winter filled tanks with non eth fuel only got to run boat on one trip of 6 hours do i need to retreat remaining fuel
