Hello every one . new here
i have me a 1985 carver voyager my fly bridge helm dos nothing no steering , where do i check the hydraulic fluid on this boat . bottom steering works fine.. the top just spins almost freely . any advice will be appreciated....

Ahoy:
I own a 1989 Carver Monterey cabin cruiser.
The last couple of years the shine has faded more and more especially on the long blue strip along the sides.
I have tried several polishes and recently a rubbing compound with no luck. Last year I took it to an auto body shop, which helped for a while but still faded after a few weeks on the water.
I just can't get the color to "pop" like it used to.
All suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a 92 Carver 534 with twin 7.4L Mercruisers. We recently had a new inverter installed and the electrician noted numerous problems with the boats electrical system that we agreed to have repaired. We replaced 4 batteries, replaced battery breaker switches, installed ACR's and rewired the main electrical panel. Before this was done the boat ran fine, we just didn't have a split bank and no way to operate 110v equipment when we were off shore power and the boat does not have an installed genset. After all this work was done, the next time we used the boat it started fine and took us to our destination, but would do nothing when it was time to pull anchor and go home. Neither ignition worked for either engine. No click, nothing. Batteries were fine. Boat was towed back to the home marina and the electrician could find nothing wrong. We checked all breakers we could find and found nothing wrong. Ignition fuses were changed. Still nothing. The starter circuit isn't that complicated and it has to be a problem that effects both engines. Any ideas?

Looking for a boarding ladder for a 1990 3807 (hooks into keyhole s on the hull). Any ideas where I'd find one?

I had to replace all three batteries on my 405. Now Battery 1 and Battery 2 will not charge using the Battery Charger, either off of Shore Power or Generator Power. I think the Generator battery is charging, but since it carries none of the house load, I'm not really sure. As part of another problem (see "Battery Blowup" in this section) I tested the volts out of the charger per the tech support people guidance, but whenever I leave the boat sitting with anything on and the Battery Charger on with about 20 amps showing on the charger, the batteries still drain. By jumping them, I can start my engines and then charge the batteries, but that shouldn't be required. Any ideas on checking out my problem, and also, do I really need to select only 1 or 2 with the engines running and not BOTH as the manual says?

My Carver 3807 has 2 U-Line ice makers on board 1 in the salon and 1 in the cockpit. Both power up and get cold but no water flows to make ice. The water line to the units does supply water to the inlet valve but the unit does not allow water past this point, is the inlet valve the problem? It just seems odd to me that the exact problem is happening to both units. Any help would be much appreciated.

I may have a set of these for sale. One is a 2-inch drop bracket [not shown in photo], and one is a 4-inch drop bracket, [exactly as shown in the photo].

The photo shows the 4 inch drop only, as illustration.

I'm located in Oshawa or Brechin, Lagoon City.

These are like new condition, are very tough units. Open to offers, but I paid in excess of 200 each new.

Here's a great little morning project that helps your AC/Heat unit running efficiently. Wash the filters. I recall a friend who complained that his AC wouldn't blow very cold. We found his filters clogged with dust.

I love how Carver put the primary air return filter grill on a hinge for easy access.


Take out the metallic mesh filter and wash in hot soapy water.

Next, locate your AC unit. Mine is under a salon seat. There is a light plastic mesh filter directly against the unit, which easily slides up or can be gently pulled away. This needs a bath too.

Clean filters will protect your valuable AC unit and allow it to cool and heat with maximum efficiency.

Happy boating.

Just bought a 1986 Carver 2896 Mariner and loving it!

This one is declared a mini yacht, but she is a sweet piece of work.

I have her docked at a marina on lake Ray Hubbard inTexas.

Not sure what all to satay at this point.

Brought our 2005 Carver 41CMY from Whitby to Simcoe, had trouble with bad fuel. I'm not sure if I bought bad fuel or the fuel left in the tanks went bad over the winter, anyhow we made it to Birch point Marina and Kevin was very helpful and changed filters, cleaned water separators and gave us clean fuel in my auxillary tanks to make it to Starport. I have the 2 main tanks full of fuel and don't want to dump it. How can I test this fuel before I switch to these tanks?
