View the latest post Attachment(s) 2000 Carver 506 - Rear Port Shore Power
- Posted by: KuyaJunGarage » April 3rd, 2025, 8:16 am
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hey everyone hoping someone had the same issue. After a 9 hour trip on the Carver I connected my rear shore power to the marina and when i flipped my breaker i saw my voltage at 220 for a second then pfff no power. No external circuit breakers tripped but some of these are the original breakers that i know of
So I pulled out my voltage meter to read the voltage on my “AC Selector Switch”. Anyone know where to start or had this issue before?
I do get power with front shore power port and that is working fine.
Many thanks in advance.

Good evening, Everybody,
I am proud to join Carver Owners Forum. I am a Decorated US ARMY VETERAN.
Well, I have purchased a Carver Yachts 33 Super Sport 2006 from my Father-In-Law. The yacht is in great condition. He and my Mother-In-Law kept it in great condition!!! They just bought a BIGGER Yacht. So, I am new to the boating world, but I have learned a lot already from hanging with them the last few years.
The RAYMARINE that came with the boat was changed to a GARMIN. I have attached a couple of pictures. The panel where the GARMIN is now is a mess. Is there a website or a certain place I can go to replace this panel?

Good afternoon all. I am new to this site. We are transitioning from a 1998 355 aft cabin to a 2005 366 aft cabin. Our old boat had a storage locker on the swim platform but the 366 does not. I have noticed the 396 has a low profile box which might fit on the 366. We need something that will not be higher than the aft stateroom window since it is a USCG rated fire exit. Also we have a pair of 22x22x1 3/8 nibral props that were replacements. Are they appropriate for the 366?

- Forum: Diesel Engines/Transmissions
So, just bought a 1993 350 Aft Cabin with the above diesels. I have to move the boat from the Cheasepeake to Myrtle Beach where she will live. I'm not familiar with the fuel burn on these engines. If it was a Ford Lehman or a Cummins I have that info. Does anyone have any idea of burn rate at 6.5 to 7 knots and also at cruising speed which I believe is 15 kts, but not sure. Trying to get an idea so I can plan fuel stops. Boat Diesel is still down, so no help there...

- Posted by: paulr » March 30th, 2025, 3:35 pm
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Hello,
I have a 2001 Carver 396 with Crusader 8.1's that were installed new in 2008.(there is 510 hours on them)
The port engine has no compression in cylinder #7. I guess at the very least it needs a valve job.
I have done valve jobs on 2 different boats with carbureted Marine Power454 engines during my 50 years of boating experience so I know what's involved with the engine repair. I was able to do these jobs while the boat was at the dock which made thing a little easier. However, Now, I cannot physically do this type of work any longer and need to get it done..
Does anyone know if there is enough room a the Carver to get the heads off without removing the engines from the boat?
When I start my search for a boatyard I would like to have a little more knowledge behind me.
Thanks

HI
I have a Carver 33e aft cabin (1992) - the master state room cooling works fine, both water pumps also are working, but the salon system isn't cooling - and thoughts/recommendations (HVAC guy wants to do complete replacement - seems ridiculous to me?
Thanks everyone!

- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
I just purchased a 2001 Carver 570 Voyager. It has all of the original electronics, so I am upgrading everything with all new Garmin products and doing the work myself. I’m trying to figure out the best way to get wires from the console under the steering wheel in the pilot house to the overhead compartment where the screens will go. I would appreciate any advice.
