I need to purchase some new fenders for my 42 Trawler. Any suggestions on best place to get a good deal on the internet.

My '87 Carver Aft Cabin (3807), had a U-Line ice maker that has long since been put out to pasture. I removed it, sent it in for an estimate to repair, only to learn it just wasn't worth it to repair. So, I priced a new U-line...HOLY COW! The least expensive ice maker seems to be the EdgeStar, but it gets horrific reviews. I then thought of just putting an ice chest in the space the ice maker left behind and simply fill it with bagged ice, but couldn't find anything to match those dimensions. Any thoughts or creative ideas for an ice maker or ice chest?

I'm planning on purchasing an 18" wide dishwasher for my Carver 4207. Anyone have any recommendations? Brands / models to avoid?

Anyone know where I can get Carver nameplates for my 1990 390 aft cabin?

I have an '89 Carver 4207 with twin Cat 3208's (375 HP). We plan to take the boat every weekend once we get some repairs taken care of. How often should we be starting up the engines, how long should we run them for and at what RPM?

Anyone have any thoughts on why the aft head does not fill? I hit the fill side of the switch and nothing. The flush works as does the drain side of the fill/drain rocker switch.

Thanks!

I have been looking around for spiral stairs that go from the swim platform up to the aft deck on a 3607 without any success. So subsequently decided to have them made by a local metal fabricator at a cost of approximately $2400.

Then I was told about a company in Pennsylvania that will do them for under $1,000.

Has anybody ever heard of/know anything about, Salter Spiral Stairs?

the 76 mariner i just got had brand new shifter and throttle cables..... but the levers themselves are shop, are these fairly easy to come by or are they very specific to carvers?

We own a 1990 Carver Santego. There is a large window hatch directly above the berth which I love because it brings in great light and fresh air. The drawback is when it's cold outside (cold like in So. California cold) the window sweats from condensation. I have to cram a cushion up into it to collect the drops of water to keep it from dripping onto the bed/pillows. We do keep an air drier going while we're away during the week but when I show up on weekends, the cushion is usually still wet and goes outside to dry out.

Any suggestions on how to circumvent this issue???

Hi all, looking forward to meeting new folks and getting some other opinions, help and suggestions for our Carvers.

Also maybe I can offer a it'd bit or two for others :pirate:
