Hello Everyone,

We just purchased our first Carver, a 1982 3007 Aft Cabin a couple months ago. Lots of small winter projects to complete but mechanically sound. Previous owner had both Crusader 220's recently rebuilt and they look and sound great. The first of many projects I'd like to tackle are rebuilding the 3 helm seats and the bench on the fly bridge. The previous owner left them exposed to the elements so there dried and cracked. I also want to re-finish all cabinet doors and draws. The white "paper" looking stuff is falling out and looks bad. The headliner in the aft cabin also needs to be replaced... I could go on and on! I'll post my progress in the "Project Center" and hopefully get some advise.

We're looking forward to many wonderful days on Buzzards Bay!

I have a 1980 2667 Santa Cruz, I have the upper and lower stations and need oil pressure and water temp. senders, I removed the original Volvo 350 and sold it with the senders. Anyone know part numbers or values of the original senders . I think the senders have to be for duel station. Thanks in advance!

Hello All,

Hope someone can help, just finished restoring a 25' Carver Camper with OMC 235 (351W) and Stringer outdrive. I'm getting around 15-16 knots at around 3400 RPM. Does that sound about right? My question is, What should my max RPM/Speed be once i break the engine in? Is it ok to run these engines WOT? Also does anyone know if the stock propeller is good or should I consider a different pitch prop for higher top speed? Thanks!

I need to replace a section of the rubber and metal rub rail on my starboard side. I called TACO but apparently they didn't supply CARVER with rub rails. I'd like to get the same brand as what Carver installed but I'm finding it challenging to find an exact match. Any help is greatly appreciated!

i have a 1994 250 express and i am missing the actual latch that keeps the doors from flapping when they r shut. i have tried carver, south co who made the part and ugly fish who they referred me to and still cant find part. does anyone have a pic or info on an actual part number for this item. i have the lock at the top just missing the latch.

Hi does anyone know the size of the flax packing needed for a 1991 carver 3608 im not with my boat at the moment and I wanted to order some off the net. Thanks lee

Hi,

Thanks

Where can you get plumbing photos or drawings for a 2001 Carver 444 CPMY?

Hi all I have an 88 Carver 3257 that I bought last September and after quite a bit of work, just about have it ready to live on. There is still 1 leak in the hosing/pipe from the water connection at the front of the starboard engine going back to the toilet. There is no way to get to it from the engine side and I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to access the hoses as they run from the engine hatch to the forward head.

The only real access seems to be under the dinette seat to the right of the stairs coming in to the cabin, which would require removing the seat to be able to get to the hoses. Is there an easier way?

I'd appreciate any advice from anyone who's done this kind of thing.

Thanks so much
