Hello,

i've posted a few times this past fall about us purchasing an '86 Mariner 36'. Not sure if this is the correct thread for this post, but here goes anyway.

We have been collecting parts and maintanance items to do do several projects this spring once we remove our shrink wrap and before we launch, and some other projects we'll do once we're in the water. This will be our first spring launch. We have had boats for many years, but always owned trailerable boats with outboards. This is our first with a boat this size and with inboards. The boat is in a marina in Erie, PA and our intention is to launch and stay there for a few weeks before we head west to our home port of Huron, OH.

All our friends with larger boats, are docked at a full service marina where the staff/mechanics do all the prep work and launch the boat and take it to their dock. The marina we are at will launch the boat, and take to my dock, but have no mechanics on staff, so I have to have it ready to roll when they are ready to launch. I'm working on a checklist to start working on so I do what needs done, in order, to be sure i'm ready. Any suggestions for a newbie when it comes to getting ready to launch?

Thanks,

I have a 1992 carver 3608 and the aft cabin air conditioner controller got wet and shorted out the circuit board. I'm looking for either the complete controller#VRE6K-H or the circuit Board#FRM-300-X08.
If you have one or know where I can find one I would greatly appreciate the response.

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone is excited as me to get back on the water!

Getting ready to de-winterizing my boat. Last winter, winterizing for the first time since ownership, I realized my sea strainer basket is missing the bottom, motor 6CTA Cummins , anyone know the sea strainer part number? My cap on the Groco (I thnk it’s a Groco) is missing all the model number.

I called Groco with my measurements, and they told me the model number should be at the bottom of the bowl, I tried looking for it yesterday, no luck

I took measurements. I purchased a replacement by using the measurements, doesn’t look right BS-12.

Length with handle 11.5
Length without Handle 9.5
Width 2.9

Thanks everyone

greetings, tim & kim here from south jersey. we just purchased a 2008 carver cmy 41 with diessel engines. plan to keep it in cape may NJ.

So I don't have to go the lake and look, would anyone have the model type or manual for a Norcold refrigerator that came installed in a 1991 Carver 3607 Aft Cabin? I need to replace the freezer door to be specific. Thanks for any help

Hello all, I have a 59’ 2008 Carver Marquis. It has a GOST high water alarm, cameras and security. I can not find the main control panel for the system. I talked to a Representative from GOST and he told me, every technician puts them in different places. If anyone has suggestions, please help. I’ve looked under cushions in the salon, under the helm, engine room, closets, etc. thanks

I wasn't sure the best place to post this on the forums but I had to share. How big is the dash on a 360 Sport Sedan? Large enough for a 6' 4" (2m) man to fit inside.

Hi all, considering buying a 1997 Carver 500 with the Cummins 8.3's... Hope you can give me some advice? What material are the fuel and water tanks in this model? With 1000hrs, (1000hr service done) along with after coolers serviced, what should I be concerned with? Had numerous boats, just never a Carver. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I'm 2000 miles away from the boat - I need to order full new seals - tubes, everything!

I have a copy of the build sheets and I have 2-1/4 shafts. However I don't have the stern tube size.

Can anyone advise - do you know the stern tube size, or do you know the tides kit part number?

Thanks In advance for help.

Does anyone know the best way in going about the removal of carpet
on my walls?

Kindly,
v/r,
