View the latest post Any Carver/Trojan owners in the Toronto area?


I'm interested in a boat located in Toronto. Problem is I am in Philadelphia and there is no way to see the boat in person until the travel restrictions are relaxed and who knows when that will be. So my question is does anyone live in the Toronto area that would be interested in looking at a boat for me? It's on land, shrink-wrapped with a zipper and I just want an unbiased set of eyes on the boat. Pictures of the cushions, helm area, interior, etc.

Thanks!

View the latest post 3467 Santego Hydraulic Steering


Hello Captains,
Need some help. I have the original Hynautic H-50 helm with RV-55 Reservoir on my 1989 Santego. Does anybody have the exact Sea Star replacement information? I have spent quite a bit rebuilding the Reservior and rudder cylinder and now the helm is grinding. I want to replace the entire system without too many alterations and get away from the “Reservior” system.
Thanks, Greg

View the latest post Aft superstructure windows


Have a Carver 50 with a full hard enclosure on the deck behind the helm. We were in an accident and a few of the windows were broken. Anyone know who manufactured the windows for Carver? Typically this area has a canvas enclosure, but ours has the hard structure. I do not know if this was done by Carver or aftermarket. Any help would be appreciated.

Happy New Year.

I've long been looking for a transom/swim platform storage box. Thus far, I've been unable to find an aftermarket source for these. Does anybody have a suggestion?

View the latest post Looking for a 530 or 570 west coast or PNW


Looking to purchase a 530 or 570. Located in the PNW so location of boat is important to minimize transport costs. Prefer larger engines and hardtop.

View the latest post Volvo Penta 8.1 issue


Hello all. I purchased my first Carver, a 396 with Volvo Penta 8.1 GiL-E engines, about six months ago. Since then I've been having issues with the starboard engine.
Hard start-turns over, starts then quits. Does this 3-4 times then will idle.
Rough idle-not terrible but you can tell that it's not hitting on all cylinders.
Won't produce rated power - 3200 RPM is about all I can get out of it.
I typically do all the maintenance on the boat so I'm fairly mechanically inclined. Initially I though maybe one of the plugs was bad. Replaced them all, nothing looked odd. Swapped out all 8 coils & wires port to starboard. Compression test was 145-150 on all 8 cylinders. New fuel filter and water separator. Checked the anti-syphon valve - good. Fuel vent is good. Fuel pressure is 40 PSI at idle and 42 PSI under a load. I have the Rinda program and I'm not seeing any issues, no codes. All the systems that are monitored look very similar to the port engine. I had about 2-3 hours on the plugs before I pulled them for the compression check. They all seemed a bit wet so I was thinking something was causing the engine to run rich. I'm at a loss as to what to check next. Any ideas?
