View the latest post Carver 466 and a 3dr Solo drone go to Alaska!
- Posted by: vitmus » July 28th, 2016, 3:29 pm
- Forum: Boating & Cruising Lifesyle
For those of you who are interested, I just got back home after traveling from Bremerton Wa. to Juneau Ak. On my trip, most nights or mornings, I would fly my 3dr Solo drone around the area for an arial view. I have posted a few videos on YouTube and have lots more to post. If you search "matts 3dr Ketchikan" spelled just like that, it should get you linked up with my youtube account so you can find all the other videos. The ice bergs were incredible! (Tracy's Arm, below Juneau ) We did the 2000 mile + trip in one month. Way to fast. But we made it there and back, mostly at 8 knots, dometimes when things got rough, we put the hammers down and sucked some fuel. Boat does a lot better through the waves when the bow is up a little. One open water stretch, we should have been going 16 knots but hit 20.6 while surfing our 46fter down a swell. Was an adventure to remember.

My wife got our spring line caught under the starboard window and blew it out on our return from Alaska. So, has anyone else needed or ever found a used carver parts scrap yard type of place. It's the lower window that opens on the starboard side, if anyone has access to one, please send me a text message at 509 398 0144. Thanks

View the latest post How does fuel selector switch work on Carver Riviera?
- Posted by: MikeL77 » July 26th, 2016, 11:20 am
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
I have a 1987 Carver Riviera that has two 220 Crusader V8's and two 80 gallon fuel tanks. Each motor runs off a single fuel tank. I want to install a fuel selector switch in it. How does the stock fuel selector switches work that originally came with Rivieras, and were found under the front stairs? Do both motors run off only one tank at a time? Or?
Thanks!

As we are getting braver about leaving dock and exploring the wonderful Lake of the Woods, I want to confirm the draft of the boat. Where in the owner's manual would/should that be or how does one confirm that. LotW has lots of shoals and rocks & I would really like to avoid them!!!

So I asked for a quote from an advertiser here on this site for a winter cover for our 1998 355 AC/MY, looking at 4K which is about 9 +/- years of shrink wrapping here in NY. What's your opinion? Mike

Hi all. Am thinking about adding a portable gen. for my 1989 Carver Santego 3067. Can anybody tell me what size/btu rating the air is on my boat? Want to get a Honda IU generator, can I get away with a 2000 watt or will I need the 3000?
