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?

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...

Looking to drain and replace the coolant in my 2002 Mercruiser 6.2 MPI's. Which coolant would you recommend?

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

I have Volvo Penta Tamd75EDC engines. I need a new starter and the Volvo Penta one is a lot more expensive. Can I use another brand and can y'all recommend some (And also brands you don't like) Thanks in Advance

Does anybody on here know what these red symbols at the top of this screen shot of my Simrad are? Have searched online and in the manual but can't find an answer.

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!

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.

I just purchased a 3257 1988 carver Montego sedan I’m trying to fix wiring problems. The switch panel indicates two bilge pumps. However, there are three bilge pumps, the aft bilge pump and the mid cabin bilge pump both work as designed the forward bilge pump has two wires, and there is no power Have a good ground wire but the positive wire is dead I’m trying to figure out where it goes. Any suggestions? Thank you.

My 2000 396 aft cabin had some engine work performed last year. Apparently, the ignition key for one engine was left on by the mechanic (engine not running) so the hours listed for that engine is approximately 100 hrs. more than the other engine. What if anything can I do to correct this problem?

I anticipate questions about the hours if I ever try to sell the boat.

Thanks.
