Hello,

Looking to purchase a Carver 570 Voyager.


Currently has Reverse Air Heat (Cruiseair) and the owner says it has a "Webasto diesel fired furnace in factory ventilation system."

Questions 1) As it is using the factory ventilation I assume it is not a hydronic style heater?
2) In factory air/heat systems which areas are heated and can it be controlled room by room?

Thanks in advance.

Of the three issues I'm experiencing this one is the most perplexing. I have only been able to go out to the boat on the weekends, and last weekend when I got to the boat the A/C units were not running. No power. None of the Circuit breakers were tripped at the main panel, but after much searching I found that the main Shore 2 breaker was tripped. (it's in the transom locker where the shore power cords are connected.) I have LED"s on my shore cords and they are lit on both ends. After resetting the breaker the A/C units came back on but only ran for about a minute then the breaker tripped again. Since the main power is being removed I don't get an error message on the AC Panels. I could only see water coming from one of the Thru hulls in the time that they were running. The strainer and seacock are in a place that my old fat body cannot reach. It was so hot that day (105) that I ended up with a mild case of heat stroke trying to get down there to get at the strainer.
I'm making several assumptions here:
1) the strainer is clogged, or the pickup thru hull is clogged with the durn grass that grows in the lake.
2) This is causing the pump to pull more current than normal and when the compressors kick on it's over 30A, and that kicks the main breaker at the shore power input.
3) Since I was only able to see one exit thru hull, I'm assuming that the others have lost prime.
I got fuddled during the day (Heat) and didn't follow my normal troubleshooting procedure. I should have turned all the units off and then turned them on one at a time.
I cannot reach the strainer from the mid salon hatch. I have heard tales that the aft master cabin stairs come out, but I was not able to pull them up easily. They have to weigh a metric ton. I f I could get them up I think I could get to the seacock and the AC Strainer.

Does anyone know a trick to get at the AC Strainer?
Has anyone had this happen to them? I'm really surprised that the Main Breaker tripped. Really the only thing on Shore 2 is the HVAC.
I'm tempted to call the HVAC guy that the Marina recommended, but I don't want to miss something easy I could fix myself.

thanks

Hoping for some help from all you older Carver owners! We are having tachometer issues on the starboard. Checked the tach, it works when connected to port side, doesn't read when attached to starboard. Checked wires and basically, the mechanic thinks it's the ECM. All other systems are running fine on that engine. The part is R116021G. As feared, it is no longer available. I've seen some other forums where they talk about having it repaired and reprogrammed. Does anyone have experience with this or any other suggestions?

Hello and thank you for this forum. I am the newest owner of a 3807 aft cabin. The boat is an 89 so it will need some love but is in overall nice shape. She thankfully came with every bit of info that Carver sent with her from new so please forgive me if I ask questions as I work through it all!
Looking forward to this!

Hello,
I am helping fix up my Buddies 96 Trojan/Carver 350 Express, and I have found it difficult to find certain info.

so I have joined this forum to hopefully get educated. I have a ton of questions, but first.

Any info about the "Anchor Light" system would be greatly appreciated. specifically pics. Just not exactly where it is and how it ties into the electrical system.

Also, if there is already a thread created for my year and model, please let me know.


thanks

WHO has solar panels on their boat? I have a 400 Watt system of 4 100 watt panels. They are hooked 2 sets of 2 panels each wired in series, and then both sets are going to the charge controller in parallel. That makes it so if one set of panels goes down or shaded, one set will produce. At rest for the day, electrical usage is a Virtrifigo 9 cu ft fridge.freezer, Bouge RV electric/battery cooler/freezer, toilet pumps, lights and fans running. Solar kept batteries at 100% all day until nightfall. Then there were still the refrigeration running and lights and toilet use. After 10 hours, batteries were down to 90%, and when sun came up they were being brought back up.. RENOGY system with ROVER controller, one of the best things I ever installed. now if it could shoo away the bugs…..

Hello, I have a Carver Santego 31 with twin 350 Crusader XL motors. The port engine stalled on our way back to marina and will not start. Engine turns over fine and can hear fuel pump running.
Observations: noticed when first turning ignition key the tachometer jumps up an down and the Engine Sync gauge will jump over to port side. Spark seen from ignition coil to dist cap, not always seeing a spark from dist cap to plugs.
replaced start relay, ignition coil ,dist cap, rotor and get the same results.any thoughts, thanks

My sliding door on my 1994 390 has been getting a little finicky. SO many to choose from that may be rite and may be wrong. I researched for months, and tHIS is the part number you need to fit that pesky sliding door from the cockpit to the aft cabin. Hope this helps someone. Has hardware, latch, keys and cylinder.

I'm looking for a 450 Voyager and selling my 38SS. I'm located in Sodus Point, NY. Preferably a fresh water boat. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Hello anyone replace a refrigerator in a Carver 346? Ours needs replacement but we are wondering about how to get a new one below. The companionway is about 22" wide and the suitable replacements currently available seem to be in the 23"-24" range. Thanks
