I have what appears to be a broken dimmer switch in the Master cabin located on the Port side of the stateroom. The switch is located to the rear of the closet on the Port side next to the AC/Heat control head. I cannot figure out what this switch controls. Any assistance would surely be welcomed. :help:

View the latest post Oil Type


I have twin 5.7 litre merc cruiser engines. Thunderbolt ignition. I bought the boat used and the former owner who had it for 18 years has always used 30W non-detergent oil on the engines. Mechanic recommendations are 25W40. Does anybody know if there would be any issues with switching to the 25W40 oil now?

View the latest post Battery Charger


I have a 1988 3207 Aft Cabin. I have a separate 4D deep cycle battery as my house battery and two separate batteries for the engines. I was going to swap one of the engine batteries with an 8D deep cycle and use that as both a cranking battery for the starboard engine and to provide additional house power along with the 4D deep cycle.

Does anybody have any recommendations on a battery charger? The original charger still works but its on its last legs...

View the latest post Attachment(s) Hello, From Italy


Hello, my name is Fabrizio and I live in Tuscany (Italy) I do not speak English well and so I try to do my best using Google translator :blush: :blush: :blush:

I have a Carver 310 (Three Ten Express 1997) since 2006, now I'm repowering with two Hyundai EFB S270P, the old engines were the Volvo Penta Kad 42P

I want to find someone who has my same boat to share some experience in Europe of this model there are really very few, in Italy I believe there is only mine.

I sail with boats from 1981 and Carver (this is the name of my boat) was my 7th boat ..

This is "il Carver" near Elba Island

View the latest post 1991 Carver RPM Guages


I am looking for 2 1991 Carver or equal rpm guages to replace 2 that fogged up on the inside. I have not been able to find equal replacements and do not really want to replace the senders. Is there anyone that may have them available online or that will ship to Michigan that sells older parts ? Thanks for any help.

View the latest post Changing Oil


Hi Group, I need to change the oil in our 1975 Santa Cruz. It has twin 302 Wauskesha Fords. Whats the best way to remove the oil from the engine? There is a plug in the pan, hose between the block and oil pressure sending unit that has a fitting in it or does it have to be sucked out the dipstick hole? The boat's on a trailer so there is no chance of a spill into the water. Thanks, Jim

View the latest post Winterizing 89 Carver 2557?


Hello,

she's old but shes pretty and actually getting interior redone at the moment time to bring the past to life.

My question is I never had a boat with a 7.4L Merc & Bravo 1 Outdrive that being said never had a seawater pump always just the water impeller in the outdrive.

SO...... How can I run the antifreeze thru this boat does the outdrives veins still pull water or is it the thru water inlet on the portside hull only thing is I cant see this a fitting or strainer I actually have no idea what that water inlet is for.

Basically I dont wanna burn my boat up and I have no idea if i can just use the tool i have been using for years to winterize my boat.

and any advice for the toilet and sink etc consider I just bought the boat and know nothing about winterizing it


ANY ADVISE will be much much obliged. :banghead:
