Hi guys - new to the forum but I have a question about my 2001 396. How do you remove the salon bulbs?

Hello, Does anybody know the formula or color to match the fiberglass bone color on the helm of my 2005 39MY?
Thanks
Bob

Gustava II came out onto the hard on Thursday. The winter nap has begun. Boats sure do look a lot bigger out of the water than they do in although a sedan like mine does have a nice in the water look.

With winter coming the question is to winterize or not too winterize? I would like to use my carver 370 all year long is there anyway to safely do this during the cold whether.

Does anybody know where one can purchase MDPE pipe in the United States? My story begins with a clogged head in the aft stateroom on my maiden voyage with the new boat from Myrtle Beach to Charleston, SC my home port. The fluid level would not go down. I donned the wet gear to clean out the nasty's the previous owners had left, and took the Crown head apart. The head appeared operationally fine with a need for some new gaskets and impeller, but they were not the immediate issue. I pumped out the rear holding tank and disconnected the sanitation line at the head. I ran a snake through it around a lot of calcification and got to a hard blockage at about 7' of a 10' run. I could not clear the problem.

While looking for a boat, I went on about four Carvers including the one I purchased. Every boat we went on had a smell that I have since been told is "Potty Boat". All of the owners and brokers advised that the boats had just been closed up for a while. I can air it out, but it never really leaves its just not as bad. I did have a local sanitation contractor come on board to let me know what he thought about the clog. After an hour long sales pitch he left with his price of $6000.00 to fix it.

I have since been reading alot and have decided to replace the sanitation lines to alleviate the clog and hopefully the odor. But it appears that the sanitation lines often fail and are pricey. I want to replace the current lines with Medium-density polyethylene (MDPE). It is flexible and impervious to permeation. My problem is, I cannot find it available in 1 1/2 ID near me. Any thoughts are appreciated.

So, I can't be the only 4207 owner out there that has wanted to install dual gas shocks on my engine room access/stairs.
I thought this might be a great winter project but I started to research " The extended length is the distance between point R and K (closed) in your calculation on the previous page in which this length must be long enough to include two stroke...." ......but wait maybe someone has already done the brain work.
So who out there has already installed them?

Hi Group, We just got our 1975 28' Carver Santa Cruz home. We purchased it in April in Portland, Or and trailered it to Boise, Id. (Another story) anyway we haven't had much time to get to know the boat also we didn't get to spend much time with the owner so we learning the systems on our own through trial and error. I went to operate the trim tabs so I could pressure wash then and I couldn't get them to work. There is two toggle switches one at the lower helm and one at the helm on the flybridge that are labeled bow up, bow down, port and starboard. Is there a master switch somewhere that turns them on? There is one switch on the switch panel that has a little bubble gauge under it but un-labeled. I tried turning it on but still nothing. Thanks, Jim

Hello, looking for 350 in Northeast. Budget between 30 and 45k. Any boats or thoughts appreciated. Thanks

I have a 1979 Voyger 3326. The only way the engines can be worked on is to remove the stearn deck. Does anyone know the proper way to do it? I get it out but there must be an easier way.
Thanks

What does EOM mean in the owners manual?
