Good morning!
My names is Michele & my husband & I were fortunate enough to find a 1985 3607 last November. I LOVE my boat! She has been neglected for many years & spent her life in salt water. She had crustaceans growing in every crevice. we moved her home last March & she now resides just north of Philadelphia on the Delaware River. She needs some work but we’ll get her cleaned up.

One thing that I need to replace are some of her port lights. A lot of the twist locks are cracked or missing. The aft cabin transom port light doesn’t have a lock so I would like to find a replacement for it. My dog has figured out that it doesn’t lock & tries to escape! I understand Bomar was the original manufacturer for Carver port lights but they seem to have different series. Which series was the 1985 3607?

Thank you for accepting me! I hope to learn a lot from the group.

looking to mount a dingy caddy on my platform , could someone confirm if there are two metal plates built into the platform?

Hey gang, please bear with me as I'm a new owner (1996 455 Aft Cabin) and still trying to figure out some basics. Among the many issues I'm trying to solve right now is my 110 power setup. When I run the generator, both voltmeters show ~120, as they should, and everything runs properly (Air conditioning, outlets, etc.). However, when I plug into my shore power pedestal, only the Second bank shows 120, the first sits at 0. I've got a single 50a plug on the pedestal, I bought a brand new shore power cord in case that was the problem, but same result. Am I supposed to be plugging into two outlets on the pedestal side? Do I have a problem with my pedestal wiring? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

We are looking to upgrade to a little more space than our current 3607. I have read that the 4207 with gas engines is underpowered, especially in rough waters. We boat on Lake Michigan. Would the 3807 also be considered underpowered? We are not looking to race the boat but would like to safely make it back to port if we hit rough waters.

1987 3608 can anyone help me with cruise rpm, speed, fuel usage, have nothing on boat.
has twin 5.7 fwc 454 330 hp thanks for any help uke

Some of y’all may recall that I need to replace one of the 454 long blocks in my ‘89 Carver. Has anyone ordered from Michigan Motorz? Any feedback or other recommendations? Thanks

Up for sale is a Raymarine e127 12" Multi-Function Hybrid Touch Display. I bought this used a couple of weeks ago and when I went to hook it up, I figured out that my transducer is not compatible with this unit. I have a CHIRP transducer and this unit utilizes a DIGITAL one. Oops! While I had it plugged in, I set up the radar w/overlay, the autopilot and all the other navigation goodies this has...everything works like it should.

The touch screen functions great after calibrating it and has no scratches that I can see. The bezel is almost imperfection-free with just a few minor "wear and tear" scratches.

This unit comes with a factory silicone cover in fantastic shape...no cables or brackets are available.

I'm asking $850 OBO, which is well below the going rate for these units.

Hi All,

New to Carver boats and boating in PNW. We're are looking to upgrade from a bowrider into a motor yacht to explore San Juan Islands. We're looking at Carver Aft Cabin 300 and wanted to get feedback from current owners or anyone who has experience with Puget Sound and what type of boat fits best for conditions. Appreciate your advice!

On my 1992 350 Aft Cabin, my cleat has loosened. Can anyone tell me how to access the inside nuts and backing plate of this cleat. I can find no obvious way into that underdeck space. HELP!!

Thanks in advance

I am looking for a good used solon (starboard) Bench Seat for '98 Mariner 350, in the "short-L" configuration, beige color preferred. I have a '95 330 and need a new couch and like this design, it would save me the trouble of building one from scratch w/pull-out "Long-L" for a sleeper.

Thanks,
