Hello everyone,

My name is Patrick and I am the proud owner of a 1993 Carver model 370 Voyager.

I am becoming intimately familiar with my new purchase. I've already replaced both heads, the AFT cabin AC, and done numerous repairs throughout.

However the fridge on board is shot. I can tell this is not the original refrigerator, because it does not fit in properly.

Does anyone know where I can find a 12v fridge close to the original dimensions? I've looked on Amazon, but to no avail.

Thanks for any help..

I was wondering why my v drive light was on on my 1984 carver with 220 crusaders even though I checked the oil which it said to do in the Manuel but the oil was full is there any other reasons why the light would be on.

For whatever reason, my 396 running 370 Cummins will not hit its rated rpm. Both engines are topping out at ~2800 rpm (should be 3300) There was growth on the running gear and bottom, which I had a diver clean. There is no increase in the boat weight and even ran today with 1/4 tank of fuel.

Is there anything from a turbo charge or fuel I should be looking for? Two engines, would one working at 100% pull the other up to rated RPM?

Looking for trouble shooting ideas please

Thanks

We are beyond excited to be the proud new owners of a 1991 Carver Montego 525 up here in the San Juan Islands just off the coast of Bellingham, WA! New engine and so many upgrades. We can't wait to get out there! And my 6'4" husband is grateful to have the extra head and leg room! We plan to hit the water next week.

I need to remove the panel in the salon panel from the helm to the stair. Not only does it need to be recovered but the plumbing is leaking in several places. I will also need to replace the fuel filler hose and the fuel lines that is behind this panel.

I cut he panel vertically behind the trim but can't get it to detach by the stairs as it is secured into a trim piece that is attached to the aft wall.

Thanks for your help

Hello All,

My toilet all of a sudden is letting fresh clean water into the bowl when not in use. Within about an hour the bowl over flows. I have had to turn off the water to the boat but need to turn it back on for general use but can't due to the problem. I have a fresh water electric head. Not sure but think it is a Jabsco.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks...

I've had 3 different Carver boats scanned with a spectrophotometer, looking to match metal work paint. The 3 boats were
95', 96' 370's, and a 98' 405. Radar arches, hard top supports, Engine make up Air Vents, ect.

All three have come up with the same Paint Code over a period of 4 years: Mazda PT or VX.

The PPG equivalent is: 4927

I may even try some roller and tip with the project that I'm working on now. BUT, an automotive paint supply or really good auto parts store will mix you up a spray bomb can, if you'd like to try it. About $20-25, will get You a single stage Acrylic Urethane in a pretty well preforming aerosol can.

I also know that this paint color was used on a heck of a lot more boats and earlier and later years, then the ones mentioned. I just don't know all. Maybe some one else does. IIRC, Carver called it "Antique White"??

You can also buy some Self-Etching primer spray bomb on the same trip, if your down to bare metal. Plus as a bonus, you can usually get all the paint advice that you need, at the same place. That's a win.

Water leak under salon sliding door. Where do the drains empty out that are behind the bridge?

I need to replace the forward cabin mattress. The old one was foam. Looking for ideas, suppliers for a replacement. Thanks

I had my 2000 356 Aft Deck out for a cruise, with the generator running when we left the dock. Back to dock, generator was not running. Remote switch would not start it. The switch on the unit started it long enough to confirm I had cooling water. After that, the switch would not do anything. When I pulled the hatch, I noticed water on the underside of the hatch. I started the starboard engine, and raw water was spraying the engine compartment from a broken hose clamp at the heat exchanger. Replaced clamp, cleaned engine compartment, started troubleshooting generator, following Kohler service manual. I have 12v at starter switch, continuity at the switch, but LED2 does not energize when I press the start button. Manual says to replace the circuit board. Checking to see if I missed anything before I buy the board. I did not have the enclosure around the unit, so I suspect water got into the control box.
