I have a 1988 3207 Aft Cabin Carver. The Starboard throttle on my flybridge keeps slipping so I have to continuously hold it to keep it in position. Does anybody know if there is a way to adjust the cable to increase the tension? The flybridge is connected to the lower helm but I couldn't locate a connection point on those controls.

Hi,

We just bought a 33ft Carver Mariner and I have some questions regarding the shrink wrapping of the boat over the winter. I am concerned about moisture that could be left in carpeting, upholstery etc and the wrapping it up and causing mold over the winter. Is this an issue or am I just being paranoid??? The previous owner didn't cover it at all.

Hi all,

My husband, Doug, and I, Barb, purchased a 1982 Carver Mariner in August. It is 33ft with twin 270hp Crusader engines. We have enjoyed the puttering around the boat we have done. Haven't yet gone out overnight, looking forward to doing that next season. Docking on the beautiful Lake of the Woods - Kenora, ON.

Hello!

I'm a new boat owner - just bought 1996 Carver 325. Located in Boston, MA. Looking for right plastic rail skirt to replace a broken one.
On the picture it has arrow on it.
Also looking for a winter storage .

Diomid.

I am a part time Sarasota FL resident (land based) and looking to purchase a Carver 506 or 46 to replace the house in summer 2017. Doing a lot a research now to prepare for boating/seasonal live aboard and familiarity with Sarasota waterways. Looking forward to summer 2017! best Brian

I am looking for some feedback on where everyone stands on winter battery storage. I have had differing opinions on this from my marina mates. So, for all those who live in the colder regions of the continent, do you remove your batteries in the winter or just disconnect them and leave them on board?

Thanks in advance

Hello all,
Since I'm introducing myself its official, I am new to the forum. Currently going to survey on my 1997 Carver 405. Any suggestions, pros or cons would be appreciated. Thx

I bought a 87 montigo and the lettering for the dash plate is wore off. can anyone post a picture of what toggle does what please.

i am surveying my 1999 new purchase ( subject to survey ) Sept 10.
I am a very experience boater and my last 4550 Bayliner Pilothouse which I owned for 12 years was fantastic in most areas even though Bayliners reputation for building quality boats in terrible
The 1987 4550 was lacking for sure in finish work..electrical and fixable upgrades like that...BUT...
Her semi displacement hull was amazing. I was a rough sea cruiser. Along the Atlantic Coast a couple of miles off shore running from East Rockaway to Montauk was often done in 3 to 5 and sometime 4-6 seas. She ran like a champ...I ran along side Hats and Vikings and while i could not keep to speed wise, my 4550 was seaworthy and took the seas well.
NOW FOR THE 450 VOYAGER
1. I have been told from research and a former Carver salesman the following:
2. Hull thickness is lacking
3. Glass windows are too thin and can break easily
4. in a 3-5 Sea the 450 Voyager borders on dangerous with a pounding ride and she is a very very wet boat
4. There is an issue with tabbing ( not trim tabs but the tabs attachments connecting the hull to the house)
WOULD SP APPRECIATE ANY CURRENT OWNER IN PUT ON THIS
MANY THANKS SCOTT SGRODY@GMAIL.COM

Thanks
