View the latest post How to remove spark plugs


I am wondering how to remove spark plugs on a 220 crusader engine do I have to remove the risers to remove them or can I just unscrew them out?

View the latest post Topside spill/stain


Howdy folks! Hope you are well during these frightening times! I have had a bad spill on the command bridge of my older 3077 Carver. it was teak oil/polish that leaked and eventually poured all down the port side of my boat, and dried before being discovered, leaving nasty dark stains everywhere. Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to remove the staining with any non toxic solutions we can think of. We are now at our wits end. Do any of you fine folks know how we would go about removing/cleaning this ugly mess without compromising/destroying what little's left of my gel coat. Thanks in advance for any guidance/assistance!

I hit a tree in 18' of water on Canyon Lake, TX. Had to do an insurance claim. It was time for a bottom paint anyways. Happy to have it back on the water.

View the latest post Attachment(s) power to helm


I do not have any power going to my port engine starting/ignition switch at the helm of my 2000 Carver 406. The starboard ignition switch has power going to it but not the port.
The port switch must be switched on to check fuel levels, transfer fuel between tanks, and who knows what else besides being used to start the port engine.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Also, is there a wiring schematic out there for a 2000 406? My owners manual has a simple one for some of the lights and things, but nothing concerning the helm switches, gauges, and the like.

View the latest post Kohler 6.5 questions (MORE!)


I was looking at my 6.5 CZ unit and saw that it looks like there were 2 25 Amp circuit breakers (1 for shore 1, 1 for shore 2)on the control pane. It looks like the previous owner put a 50 AMP breaker and placed both Leads to the same breaker. ANyone else experience this? The manual shows 2 separate breakers.

Also, when I fired my unit up from the starter replacement, it would not generate power. However, if I turned off the circuit breaker on the Genset, then started it and turned the breaker on, it would kick right in. Any insight?

LAstly, It was running a d AGAIN shit off after 1/2 hour. Coolant was full. I am thinking that perhaps some. Bad temperature sensors )Kohler part 249872?

I am going to conquer this baby one way or another!

Thanks again!

Hi All!

We just purchased a 2002 Carver 396. Above all, we wanted a covered slip. The only available covered slip right now has 30amp service. What can we run on 30 amp shore power? More importantly, what can’t we run on only 30 amp?

View the latest post Need help with thrusters


New to this place and i need some help from Carvers owner. Just bought the Carver 30 Santiego yesterday.
Without much experience in that size of boats. Today when i was trying to back in the slip i had a hart time.
Mine number 1 problem was control ,its stiff ,hard to move forward or back and finding natural its a challenge.
Now is the question , is there anything i can do to make that shifter running smooth or that the way is should be?
Plus the starboard engine before it goes in to reverse i have to reve it up the RPM ,so it makes nice challenge
for someone like me to back in the slip . Any help for me ? Or just have to learn hard way to do it?
