Looking for a replacement rod that holds the aft stairs hatch up (where the shore power cords are stowed) on a 2002 346 Aft Cabin. Even the proper name of that part would help

Thanks, Brad

Having spent some time looking at a variety of vessels from 30' to 46" I'm now narrowed my interest to Carvers; in particular Carver 4207's. But, and it a big but, I'm trying to find out if the 1987 Carver 4207 has a solid fiberglass hull or does it suffer from the bane of boat owners, a "cored hull". I sailed out of Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda for many years and have spent a fair bit of time in boat yards. Cored hulls are easily damaged and the process is not endearing to the longevity of the boat. So, does anyone out there know when Carver phased out their cored hulls? I'm looking at a 4207 this weekend so.........who knows, I may transition from a potential newbie to a full fledged newbie.

1984 3607 aft cabin. I purchased the vessel with an open array radar mounted on a platform between the top of the windshield and below the splash screen of the flybridge. Although there is cabling, there was no display unit when I purchased the vessel.
Im now considering adding a functioning radar. So Im debating on where to mount the open array/dome
The boat has a nice radar arch installed that would put the array/dome well above my head on the upper helm and would seem to be the best/most likely installation location.
However, I spend a good portion of my time travelling the Erie Canal that has some low bridges. The arch itself puts my bridge draft at 15 ft. Adding in a radar array on top of the arch could potentially restrict my travel (no the arch cannot be lowered as it is a structural component of the aft deck hard top)
As I said, the previous installation of radar has the array mounted on the a platform forward of the upper helm between the windshields and the flybridge.
I have done a bit of research of the potential harm to persons if the active array were left in that location. It appears that I would not be harming people by doing so.
I also realize that installing a new array in that forward position would create a significant "blind spot" of approx 180 degrees from port and starboard to aft - essentially, I would be blind to what is behind me.

So, I wanted to query this forum. What are your thoughts?
Does anyone have any documented reliable sources of information that stipulate harm to humans?
What are your thought on losing 180 degrees of visibility to your stern?

Good day everyone, I'm new in the boating world and have an issue with my generator. I have a Carver 38 year 1990 and inside original generator Kohler model 9C63. the generator was working well and two days ago while on a voyage we went through 45 locks and the last lock was a rail lock where they take the boat out of the water and rail it to the next lake. Since then I've been having issues with the generator, it start really well runs between 5 min to 45 min and then stops. then it starts again and stops after about 1 minute. It looks like it is over heating. Is the I can see there is a pipe with a valve at the bottom of the hull looks like it is cooled by the water? if so how do I Bleed the line to get the water going in to cool it?

Since the day they took to boat out of the water I'm also having issues with the air conditioning. I turn it on and I get message STAND BY a few seconds after the air conditioning starts and a few second after I get the message FLT DLY HIGH PS.

I'm assuming again it has something to do with the boat being taken out of the water, how do I resolve this. It was working before the lock system.

I did go down under where the motors are and found 6 valves connected at the bottom of the hull. I tried to close them and open them but the problem is out of the 6 I was only able to open or close three, the other are all seized up and I mean can even bring the handle down, I thought I was going to break one so I stopped.

hopefully someone will be able to help.

thanks in advance.

I would like to identify specs on my boat. I would like to know the part numbers for the parts on the Volvo Penta drives to replace bellows and u joints. I also need both linkage covers for the outdrives.

1989 Carver Montego
twin engine

I think I have a Aq171C SP-A

any help or guidance to find exactly what I have would be appreciated.
Thanks!

HEy Everyone, new to this forum and wanted to know if the adapter for the bow wash down is specific to Carver or if I can find a replacement somewhere (Lost mine)
is there a good spot online to order carver parts?

Also same question for the screen door? (no longer slides easily and is a pain in the butt to open/close)

Hello, I'm just introducing myself to the community. We just bought a 1974 Carver Mariner! Absolutely fell in love with the boat when we went to look at it. We are the 3rd owners. The last owner had it for only about 5 years and it had always been in the same place until we bought it. I'm wondering how many of you out there have a 74 Mariner or even a very close year?

Just got my boat about 3 weeks ago and want to install a "smart" battery charger. Where exactly is the battery charger located? It's not by the batteries, battery switch under the step or behind the aft cabin medicine cabinet.

Thanks for any help.

I’m looking at getting a 89 Santego 3067 but need a trailer to pull it out and do maintenance/cleaning before dropping back in the water, I’m trying to figure out what size trailer I would need. does anybody know what the length from the bow eye to the drain plug is for the 3067, also if you have that size trailer that can hold this beast for sale I’m lookin for one

I hit an object in the water on the 4th of July… someone must have thrown a chair overboard or something. I returned to the marina at idle there wasn’t any significant vibration, but I knew I had some damage. I did. Both props damaged but not too bad. Port side prop shaft bearing is shot, but shaft is good.

BUT - I have this new noise!

Do you think it’s an alignment issue??
Help please- Thank you [image][image][image][/image][/image][/image]
