I would like to add an electric winch for the dingy mounted on the swim platform but not sure of a secure enoulgh location. Is the aft hardtop on a Carver 3607 sturdy enough to handle the pull of a dinghy with a 15 hp motor?

Thanks,

Hello all, I'm finishing restoration on my 77 Camper and was wondering if anyone was familiar with the aux volts/fuel volts switch. What position should they be in?

Also, does anyone else have these switches in front of the throttle? It's a push button and to rocker switches. I was told the depth charge lever is for nuetral throttle control the others dont work and I have no clue.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I just replaced both of these Generator 120v relays because one didn't work and the other was sparking. I figure out that the one on the left only sparks when the Salon A/C unit comes on. There are a few times when it settles down and works correctly, but most of the time it sparks like a fireworks display as shown in the video here.

I am wondering if there is an upgrade from these relays to something less "Sparky"
I don't know why the front A/C unit does this on the Generator, it works perfectly on shore power.

I am new to the forum and I recently purchased a 2001 Carver 350 Mariner and just had the port transmission fail. It started slipping while underway so we shut it down and brought it back to the slip. There is lots of fluid in the bilge. My mechanic looked at it and said that it looks like the front seal is leaking and he said that it would require removing the engine and transmission to fix it. Anyone have any experience with this tyoe of repair?

Trim tabs are not functioning. The boat is on the hard and I can hear the pump motor running when I press the switch but nothing happens, no movement in the tabs. I'm very surprised at the size of what I think is the reservior for the system, yes there is fluid in the reservior. Any ideas on how to get things working. I'm going to disconnect the lines to the pistons this weekend to verify the pump is working.

The information about the stearing system was very helpfull.

A couple nights ago, Georgia had a bad storm and my rear line broke and proceeded to slam my Teak swim platform into the dock over and over.
Now I need another one. Anyone know where I can find a 10' Swim platform for a decent price?
Here is my old one.

My Shower Pump is spitting water instead of pumping it. Is there a rebuild kit for them? The motor runs good, but I assume the diaphragm is bad or dried out.

In my 3207 I inherited a disgusting bilge. The motors were re manufactured and when they replaced them they left a lot of trash and oil in the bilge. What is the best way to get all that nasty out. I want a clean bilge. I had stepping down there and then can't get back into my salon without tracking grease everywhere.

Here is my new project for this coming year...underwater lights. They were inexpensive and easy to install...hope they last

Hi, my head fans do not work. Does anybody know how to get to them - perhaps need de-dusting, not sure. I have tried the switches and taken the mirror off the ceiling in the aft head. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
