Does anybody know where to find a replacement windshield for a 3607? I mean the short plexiglass one up on the fly bridge.

Has anyone ever replaced the curtains on the sliding glass doors on a 97 Carver 350 Mariner? Any idea of specs or where to get new ones besides custom made? Just curious as mine are the originals and really are ugly. Thanks for any information you may have.

- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
I am new to the forum and currently have a contract on a 2007 46 MY. During the hull survey water was found dripping from the underside of the swim platform on the port side. The boat has been inside in heated storage for 5 months. The marina cut out all the caulk on the underside of the platform and more water came out the starboard side. Are leaks a common problem? What is the best repair option?

Hi, thanks for allowing me to join. I've had a couple of other vessels. Last year, at the end of the season, we purchased a 1990 Santego 34. We love it. Looking forward to learning more about Carvers, and possibly finding some parts as there are a few things that need some TLC.
Cheers!

- Forum: Introduce Yourself!
I noticed it seems nearly impossible to find articles about Carver because of all the advertisements for Carver Cover "tops" so I was looking for a proper forum on Carver Yachts.
I am excited to see there is one, CYO, and seemingly quite active.
Hello everyone, this is my first boat, a 81 Carver 3007 Aft Cabin. I'm looking forward to reading about everyone's Carvers here.
Best, Drew

Looks like the federal government has imposed a "luxury" tax of 20% on new boats over $250,000. Not sure a new Carver can be had for less han this. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/luxury- ... -1.5393511

View the latest post Attachment(s) Window above cockpit on 2000 396 Aft Cabin
- Posted by: tgebler » April 19th, 2021, 2:03 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
There is a glass window above the cockpit, under the radar arch (see photo with window at top) and behind the helm on my 396. I would like to either remove it or replace it since it is scratched and generally ugly. Has anyone done this project?
In lieu of replacing or removing, someone suggested tinting the glass. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.

View the latest post Questions on draining fuel tanks
- Posted by: V12diablo » April 18th, 2021, 9:09 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
In my attempt to drain all the old gasoline from my 356 AC I have purchased a electric fuel pump that pumps at 3 psi, it says it can be used as a lift and transfer pump. I created a wiring harness that keeps everything safe so there is no sparks produced and the switch is outside the salon. The issue I have is the pump would not pull the fuel from the fuel line going to the engine, I had to unscrew one of the plugs on top of the port and starboard fuel tanks and put a hose down in to pump out the fuel. I pumped aprox 50 gallons from each tank. Is the pump not strong enough to pull fuel through the antisiphon valve? I have drained the 2 main tanks down to about 1/2 inch of fuel, is there a way to get it all out, I do believe there is water in the tanks that I would li,e to get out. If I have to drain the aux tank the same way will there be a plug that is accessible by going through the rear stateroom access?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

I upgraded all my lights to LED, if any one needs these housings and gold bezels just pay shipping. Aprox 15 housings may be more.

- Posted by: Plum » April 18th, 2021, 6:50 pm
- Forum: Carver Yachts Forum - Model Discussion
Anyone know how many people can safely fit on a 1996 carver 355 aft cabin? We are having an engagement party and would like to do a short harbor cruise? I've had 6 people on it last summer (our first year), but we are looking at about 15 this time. Tried to find answers online but feeling like a complete rookie.
I know that we're need 1 life jacket per person but does the coast guard limit how many people?
Thanks for your help.
